A 26.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hinge while its far end is supported by a cable such that the beam is horizontal. If

the angle between the beam and the cable is θ = 61.0° what is the vertical component of the force exerted by the hinge on the beam?

Answer:

Force exerted by the hinge on the beam = 109.24N

Explanation:

Weight = mg = 26 x 9.81 = 255.06 N

Vertical component = T sin θ

Horizontal component = Tcos θ

Now, there are 3 vertical forces acting on the beam. These are;

- The downward force which is the weight of the beam.

- The vertical components of the tension in the cable.

-The force that hinge exerts on the beam are the upward forces.

Hence, for the beam to remain horizontal, the sum of the upward forces must be equal to the weight of the beam.

For us to determine the vertical component of the tension in the cable, we will do a torque problem. Let the pivot point be at the hinge. Let’s assume that the length of the beam is L. The vertical component of the tension in the cable will produce clockwise torque while the weight of the beam will produce counter clockwise torque.

Tbus;

Clockwise torque = TL sin 61

Since the center of mass of beam is at the middle of the beam, the distance from the hinge to the weight of the beam is L/2.

Counter clockwise torque = WL/2

Thus;

TL sin 61 = WL/2

L will cancel out.

T sin 61 = 255.06/2

T x 0.8746 = 127.53

T = 127.53/0.8746 = 145.82 N

Now, the equation to determine the vertical component of the force that the hinge exerts on the beam is given as;

T + F = W

Thus;

145.82 + F = 255.06

F = 255.06 - 145.82 = 109.24 N

A wood block, after being given a starting push, slides down a ramp at a constant speed. what is the angle of the ramp above hor
Stells [14]

The solution for the problem is:

Constant speed means Fnet = 0. 
Let m = mass of wood block and Θ = angle of ramp; then if µk = 0.35 …

The computation would be:


Fnet = 0 = mg (sin Θ) - (µk) (mg) (cos Θ) 
mg (sin Θ) = µk (mg) (cos Θ) 
µk = tan Θ 
Θ = arctan(µk)

= arctan (0.35)

≈ 19.3°

Why are peer reviews important?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Peer reviews are important because individuals with similar background knowledge are used to review work to detect inaccuracies or deficiencies in the work.

Explanation:

Those individuals with similar educational and work background knowledge can more accurately review work since they have the required knowledge base for the subject.

Sunlight shines through a window. What happens to most of the light that strikes the window?
madam [21]

Answer:

I think the answer is 'it is refracted'

Explanation:

Much of the light will pass through the glass, because glass is transparent. The light when it passes from one substance into another substance is called refraction.
