A uniform beam with mass M and length L is attached to the wall by a hinge, and supported by a cable. A mass of value 3M is susp

ended from the bar 3/4ths of its length from the wall. The angle indicated is 60°. What is the tension in the cable? What is the horizontal force provided by the hinge?

Answer:

The tension is  T= \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } Mg

The horizontal force provided by hinge   Fx= \frac{11}{4\sqrt{3} } Mg

Explanation:

   From the question we are told that

          The mass of the beam  is   m_b =M

          The length of the beam is  l = L

           The hanging mass is  m_h = 3M

            The length of the hannging mass is l_h = \frac{3}{4} l

            The angle the cable makes with the wall is \theta = 60^o

The free body diagram of this setup is shown on the first uploaded image

The force F_x \ \ and \ \ F_y are the forces experienced by the beam due to the hinges

      Looking at the diagram we ca see that the moment of the force about the fixed end of the beam along both the x-axis and the y- axis is zero

     So

           \sum F =0

Now about the x-axis the moment is

              F_x -T cos \theta  = 0

     =>     F_x = Tcos \theta

Substituting values

            F_x =T cos (60)

                 F_x= \frac{T}{2} ---(1)

Now about the y-axis the moment is  

           F_y  + Tsin \theta  = M *g + 3M *g ----(2)

Now the torque on the system is zero because their is no rotation  

   So  the torque above point 0 is

          M* g * \frac{L}{2}  + 3M * g \frac{3L}{2} - T sin(60) * L = 0

            \frac{Mg}{2} + \frac{9 Mg}{4} -  T * \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}    = 0

               \frac{2Mg + 9Mg}{4} = T * \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}

               T = \frac{11Mg}{4} * \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }

                   T= \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } Mg

The horizontal force provided by the hinge is

             F_x= \frac{T}{2} ---(1)

Now substituting for T

              F_{x} = \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } * \frac{1}{2}

                  Fx= \frac{11}{4\sqrt{3} } Mg

9. Which of the following characteristics of water is most responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? A. Water is liquid at roo
lozanna [386]

Answer:

D. Frozen water is less dense than liquid water.

Explanation:

Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the year 1912. There were more than 2000 passengers on board from which about 1500 died.

Frozen water that is ice has less density than liquid water. The density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm^3 and the density of the water is 0.9998 g/cm^3.

Due to this very slight difference in density, ice floats on water. Titanic, on the night of April 14, 1912, crashed into an iceberg around midnight which caused opening of 5 of its watertight compartments. The water filled into the ship and it eventually sank in.
