Question

A 29.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge while its far end is supported by a cable such that the beam is horizontal.

Answer 1

The vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam is 114.77 N.

Tension in the cable

Apply the principle of moment and calculate the tension in the cable;

Clockwise torque = TL sinθ

Anticlockwise torque = ¹/₂WL

TL sinθ  =  ¹/₂WL

T sinθ  =  ¹/₂W

T = (W)/(2 sinθ)

T = (29 x 9.8)/(2 x sin57)

T = 169.43 N

Vertical component of the force

T + F = W

F = W - T

F = (9.8 x 29) - 169.43

F = 114.77 N

Thus, the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam is 114.77 N.
