Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is Hx = ½ Wsin θ cos θ
The explanation for this is:
Analyzing the torques on the bar, with the hinge at the axis of rotation, the formula would be: ∑T = LT – (L/2 sin θ) W = 0
So, T = 1/2 W sin θ. Analyzing the force on the bar, we have: ∑fx = Hx – T cos θ = 0Then put T into the equation, we get:∑T = LT – (L/2 sin θ) W = 0
Answer: A, C, and D all round to 5.6
Ok, to prove the two triangles, we need reasoning:
1) the side AC is common (as you can see, both triangles share the side AC)
2) angle DCA is equal to angle BAC (this is due to alternate angles)
3) angle BCA is equal to angle DA (again, this is due to alternate angles)
