A uniform horizontal 50.0 kg beam of length l= 3.50 m is at rest, supported by a vertical rope located d =0.850 m from its left end . The right end of the beam is supported by a column which exerts an upward force on the beam

a) Draw an exteded force diagram of the beam

b) solve for (i) the magnitude of the tension in the rope and (ii) the force that the column exerts on the beam.

Expert Solution

Given the mass of the beam M = 50kg, length of the beam = 3.50m, the location of the vertical rope d = 0.850m from the left end.

a) The force diagram of the beam is shown below.

b) (i) For the system to be in equilibrium, the net torque acting on the system should be zero. Taking torque about the point B in the figure,

So the magnitude of tension in the rope is 323.58N.

(ii) Now taking torque about the point A in the figure,

So the force that the column (upright pillar) exerts on the beam is 166.41N.

A thin, uniform bar of length L and mass M is suspended horizontally at rest. It is suddenly released and, at the same instant, it is struck a sharp blow vertically upwards at one end – the duration of the impulse is negligibly short. (a) Explain the meaning of the equation Fnet = Macom (com stands for center of mass). If we call z the vertical direction, write an equation for zCOM(t), draw a sketch of zCOM(t) vs t, and...

A uniform 45 kg beam that is 4.35 m in length sticks out from a vertical wall. A lightweight cable connects the end of the beam to the wall, making an angle of 60.0° between the beam and the cable. A 65 kg worker stands on the beam a distance of 1.75 m from the wall. What is the tension in the cable?

A steel bar (mass 762 kg, length 88.3 m) is supported by a horizontal wire attached to a wall. The wire is tied to the beam distance 28.96 m from the top end. The center of mass of the bar is 23.5 m from the bottom. The bar is held at the bottom by a hinge, and makes an angle θ = 46.5o with the horizontal. Find Fhinge, the magnitude of the force exerted by the hinge on the bar,...

1. A rod of uniform density and weight W=120N has length L=1.00 m and is supported at two points, under the 10 cm point and under the 70 cm point. The support at 10 cm exerts a force NL on the rod and the support at 70 cm exerts a force NR on the rod, both forces being in the vertical direction. (a) Use the conditions of static equilibrium to find the values of NL and NR. (b) In order...
