A 10 m long uniform beam weighing 100 N is supported by two ropes at the ends. If a 400 N person sits at 2.0 m from one end of t
he beam, what are the tensions in the ropes?
1 answer:
Answer:
T1 = 130N, T2 = 370N
Explanation:
In order for the system to be at rest, the sum of all forces must be zero and the torque around a point on the beam must be zero.
1. forces:
Let tension in rope 1 be T1 and in rope 2 be T2:
ma = T1 + T2 - 100N - 400N = 0
(1) T1 + T2 = 500N
2. torque around the center point of the beam:
τ = r x F = 5*T1 + 3*400N - 5*T2 = 0
(2) T1 - T2 = -240N
Solving both equations:
T1 = 130N
T2 = 370N

Answer:
a) correct answer is C , b) 14º from the west to the north, c) v_{1g} = 300.79 km / h
Explanation:
This is a relative speed exercise using the addition of speeds.
1) when it is not specified regarding what is being measured, the medicine is carried out with respect to the Z Earth, therefore the correct answer is C
2 and 3) In this case we must compose the speed using the Pythagorean Theorem.
² =
² +
²
where v_{1a} is the speed of the airplane with respect to the air, v_{1g} airplane speed with respect to the Earth, v_{ag} air speed with respect to the Earth
in this case let's clear the speed of the airplane with respect to the Earth
v_{1g} = √(v_{1a}² - v_{ag}²)
v_{1g} = √ (310² - 75²)
v_{1g} = 300.79 km / h
we find the direction of the airplane using trigonometry
sin θ = v_{ag} / v_{1a}
θ = sin⁻¹ (v_{ag} /v_{1a})
θ = sin⁻¹ (75/310)
θ= 14º
the pilot must direct the aircraft at an angle of 14º from the west to the north
