An 18.4 kg beam is attached to a wall by a hinge and it hangs out horizontally.


1. An 18.4 kg beam is attached to a wall by a hinge and it hangs out horizontally. From the end of the beam, a 27.1 kg metal sculpture is hung. A cable is attached to the wall above the beam and is attached to the beam. The cable makes an angle of 18.9 degrees with the wall. It attaches to the beam 2/7 of the way down from the hinge. What is the tension in the cable?


2. A 31 kg, 7.71 ladder leans against a wall and makes an angel of 24.2 degrees with the floor. The ladder feels a coefficient of friction with the floor of 0.412. How far up the ladder can a 118 lb person go before the ladder slips down?

A 10kg weight is attached to a wall horizontally via a spring. The rest (equilibrium) length of the spring is 0.2m. The spring has stiffness coefficient k = 50. The weight drags along the ground, giving an effective damping coefficient of b = 40. We will ignore gravity and all other outside forces on the spring. If the weight is pulled to a position 0.5m away from the wall (thus +0.3m past equilibrium) and then flicked toward the wall at...
