A 150 kg uniform beam is attached to a vertical wall at one end and is supported by a cable at the other end. Calculate the magn
itude of the tension in the wire if the angle between the cable and the horizontal is θ = 47°.
1 answer:
Answer:
T = 2010 N
Explanation:
m = mass of the uniform beam = 150 kg
Force of gravity acting on the beam at its center is given as
W = mg
W = 150 x 9.8
W = 1470 N
T = Tension force in the wire
θ = angle made by the wire with the horizontal = 47° deg
L = length of the beam
From the figure,
AC = L
BC = L/2
From the figure, using equilibrium of torque about point C
T (AC) Sin47 = W (BC)
T L Sin47 = W (L/2)
T Sin47 = W/2
T Sin47 = 1470
T = 2010 N

Using conservation of energy law:-
∑ work in = ∑ work out
and work= force* displacement
so when we wanted to move a 100kg a distance of 1m
we multiplied 100*1 = work out
so work in should be equal to 100*g Joules, where g is the acceleration due to gravity.
so workout = 100*g = 25*g *x (divide both sides by 25*g)
x=4m
by the same way:-
------------------------
work in = 100kg * 2m * g (m/
)= work out
so work out = 25*x*g = 200* g (divide both sides by 25*g)
x=8m
