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

What information do we know about the known exoplanets? a. estimates of orbits and masses b. complete composition c. precise mas
LenKa [72]

<em>The correct option is </em><em>A</em>. The information we know about the known exoplanets is estimates of orbits and masses.

<h3>What is exoplanets?</h3>

An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System.

In other words, exoplanet is any planet beyond our solar system.

<h3>Characteristics of exoplanets</h3>

exoplanets are known for the following characteristics;

  • they are usually hot
  • they can orbit their stars so tightly that a “year” lasts only a few days
  • they can orbit two suns at once

Thus, the information we know about the known exoplanets is estimates of orbits and masses.
