A beam that weighs 200 N is connected to a wall by a hinge so that it makes an angle of θ = 30.0◦ with the horizontal. The beam is 1.50 m long and is held in place by a cable that runs horizontally from the end of the beam to the wall. A box that weighs 100 N hangs from the end of the beam. Calculate a) the tension in the cable connected to the wall and b) the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the hinge on the beam.

Expert Solution
a) We can assume that the weight of the beam passes through the middle point of the beam (0.75m away from the hinge). The force diagram is then:
Because the beam is in equilibrium, the sum of the torques about the hinge gives:
b) The force balance in the vertical and horizontal direction gives:
Then the magnitude and the direction (angle made with horizontal) of the force excerted by the hinge on the beam is:

In the figure shown, one end of a uniform beam that weighs 827. N is attached to a wall with a hinge.
In the figure shown, one end of a uniform beam that weighs 827.
N is attached to a wall with a hinge. The other end is held up by a
wire. So the beam is in static equilibrium. There is an unknown
horizontal and an unknown vertical force on the hinge.(a) Find the tension in the wire.N(b) What is the horizontal component of the force of the hinge on
the beam?N(c) What is the vertical component of the force of...
A 4-m long, 150-kg steel beam is attached to a wall with one end connected to a hinge that allows the beam to rotate up and down
A 4-m long, 150-kg steel beam is attached to a wall with one end connected to a hinge that allows the beam to rotate up and down. The other end of the beam is held in a horizontal position with a cable that makes a 27° angle with the beam and is attached to the wall (see (Figure 1) ). What is the tension force that keeps this beam in static equilibrium?
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...

A 28.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hinge while its far
end is supported by a cable such that the beam is horizontal. If
the angle between the beam and the cable is θ = 57.0° what is the
vertical component of the force exerted by the hinge on the
beam?
A horizontal 14.9 kg beam 2.1 m long is attached to the wall by a hinge at its left end.
A horizontal 14.9 kg beam 2.1 m long is attached to
the wall by a hinge at its left end. A cable is connected from the
right end of the beam to the wall, at an angle of 27 °
above the beam, as shown below. A 55 kg sign is hung 1.6
m from the left end of the beam.Part A - Find the tension in the cable.Part B - Find the horizontal force exerted on the wall by the
hinge.Part...

A 1220-N uniform beam is hinged at a vertical wall at one end
and is supported by a cable that is attached to the beam at the
other end. A 200-kg load hangs at the end of the beam. The lower
end of the beam makes an angle of 30° above the horizontal, while
the supporting cable is attached to the wall at an angle of 40°, as
shown.
(a) Calculate the magnitude of the tension in the supporting
cable....
