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

Explanation:
Given that,
Work done to stretch the spring, W = 130 J
Distance, x = 0.1 m
(a) We know that work done in stretching the spring is as follows :
(b) If additional distance is 0.1 m i.e. x = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2 m
So,
So, the new work is more than 130 J.
