Question

A 40.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge and its far end is supported by a cable. The angle between the beam and the cable is 90°. If the beam is inclined at an angle of θ = 31.0° with respect to horizontal.
The horizontal component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam is 8.662x10^1 N.
What is the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge?

Answer 1

288.51 N is  the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge.

Given

Mass 0f beam = 40 Kg

The horizontal component of the force exerted by the hi_nge on the beam is 86.62 N

Angle between the beam and cable is = 90°

Angle between beam and the horizontal component = 31°

As the system of the beam, hi_nge and cable are in equilibrium.

The magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi_nge can be calculated by -

F =The  horizontal component of force + the vertical component of force  

F = 86.62 N + 40 × 9.8 × sin 31°

F =86.62 N + 201.89 N

F = 288.51 N

Hence, the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi_nge is 288.51  N.
