The horizontal beam in Fig. E11.14 weighs 190 N, and its center of gravity is at its center. Find (a) the tension in the cable a
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of beam= 190 N

Here, The center of gravity is at its center

According to figure,

The angle is

\sin\theta=\dfrac{3}{5}

The horizontal component is

T_{x}=T\cos\theta

The vertical component is

T_{y}=T\sin\theta

(a). We need to calculate the tension in the cable

Using formula of net torque acting on the pivot

\sum\tau=F_{b}\times r+F_{w}\times r'-T\sin \theta\times r'

Put the value into the formula

0=190\times2+300\times 4-T\sin\theta\times 4

T\sin\theta\times 4=380+1200

T=\dfrac{1580\times5}{3\times 4}

T=658.33\ N

(b). We need to calculate the horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of horizontal component

F_{x}=T\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

F_{x}=658.33\times\dfrac{4}{5}

F_{x}=526.66\ N

(c). We need to calculate the vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall

Using formula of vertical component

F_{y}=F_{b}+F_{w}-T\sin\theta

Put the value into the formula

F_{y}=190+300-658.33\times\dfrac{3}{5}

F_{y}=95.002\ N

Hence, (a). The tension in the cable is 658.33 N.

(b). The horizontal components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 526.66 N.

(c). The vertical components of the force exerted on the beam at the wall is 95.002 N.

Can a particle with constant speed be accelarating?<br>what if it has constant velocity?​
Olin [163]

Explanation:

it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating. It is accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing.

When an object is moving with constant velocity, it does not change direction nor speed and therefore is represented as a straight line when graphed as distance over time.

Help !!!! Estimate the number of breaths taken by a person during 44 years?
Lisa [10]
44 x 12. I got the 12 from the total of 12 months in a year.


44 > 40

x
12 > 10
----------
The way my teacher taught me how to estimate is look at the neighbor to 44 and 12. The only time 44 can become 50, is when the neighbor is 5 or up. Same thing for 12. Now, multiply 40 and 10.

40 x 10 = 400.

Therefore, your estimate is 400.

The real answer is 520 breaths.
