A steel beam of mass 1975 kg and length 3 m is attached to the wall with a pin that can rotate freely on its right side. A cable

attached to the left end pulls at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal and holds the beam horizontal (perpendicular to the wall) in equilibrium.
a) What is the torque due to gravity about an axis containing the pin holding the beam to the wall?

b) What is the torque about the pinned end due to the contact forces between the pin and the beam?

c) In terms of the magnitude of the tension force, T, and any relevant angles, find a symbolic expression for the torque due to the tension in the cable about the axis containing the pin (make sure to include the correct sign). Your answer may contain the symbols M, L, T, g, and mathematical functions.

d) Keeping in mind that the system is in equilibrium, find the magnitude of the tension force.

Answer:

a) 29062.125 N·m

b) 0 N·m

c) Torque, due \ to \ tension =L\cdot Tsin\theta = \frac{M\cdot L\cdot g}{2}

d) T = 11186.02 N

Explanation:

We are given

Beam mass = 1975 kg

Beam length = 3 m

Cable angle = 60° above horizontal

a) We have the formula for torque given as follows;

Torque about the pin = Force × Perpendicular distance of force from pin

Where the force = Force due to gravity or weight, we have

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity = 1975 × 9.81 = 19374.75 N

Point of action of force = Midpoint for a uniform beam = length/2

∴ Point of action of force = 3/2 = 1.5 m

Torque due to gravity = 19374.75 N × 1.5 m = 29062.125 N·m

b) Torque about the pinned end due to the contact forces between the pin and the beam is given by the following relation;

Since the distance from pin to the contact forces between the pin and the beam is 0, the torque which is force multiplied by perpendicular distance is also 0 N·m

c) To find the expression for the tension force, T we find the sum of the moment forces about the pin as follows

Sum of moments about p is given as follows

∑M = 0 gives;

T·sin(θ) × L= M×L/2×g

Therefore torque due to tension is given by the following expression

Torque, due \ to \ tension =L\cdot Tsin\theta = \frac{M\cdot L\cdot g}{2}

d) Plugging in the values in the torque due to tension equation, we have;

3\times Tsin60 = \frac{1975\times 3\times 9.81}{2} = 29062.125

Therefore, we make the tension force, T the subject of the formula hence

T= \frac{29062.125}{3 \times sin(60)} = 11186.02 N

While running at a constant velocity, how should you throw a ball with respect to you so that you can catch it yourself?
timurjin [86]
You are running at constant velocity in the x direction, and based on the 2D definition of projectile motion, Vx=Vxo. In other words, your velocity in the x direction is equal to the starting velocity in the x direction. Let's say the total distance in the x direction that you run to catch your own ball is D (assuming you have actual values for Vx and D). You can then use the range equation, D= (2VoxVoy)/g, to find the initial y velocity, Voy. g is gravitational acceleration, -9.8m/s^2. Now you know how far to run (D), where you will catch the ball (xo+D), and the initial x and y velocities you should be throwing the ball at, but to find the initial velocity vector itself (x and y are only the components), you use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse. Because you know all three sides of the triangle, you can also solve for the angle you should throw the ball at, as that is simply arctan(y/x).

Check all that are true about waterfalls
Lerok [7]
Waterfalls are created when a river flows following a descending rapid slope. The waterfall, then, flows from the source (where it starts) to the mouth (where it ends).
Waterfalls are created when the erosion of the rocks at the bottom of the slope is more powerful than the erosion of the rocks on the top.
After many years the water is able to erode the rocks on the top as well, and the waterfall slowly disappears.

Therefore the options that apply are:
b) waterfalls move towards their mouth;
c) the top or cap rock is resistant to erosion;
<span>f) waterfalls indicate a youthful river </span>

â/8.37 points scalcet8 12.2.037. ask your teacher my notes question part points submissions used a block-and-tackle pulley hoist
AnnyKZ [126]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The hoist is in static equilibrium supported by tensions in the two ropes.

For horizontal force balance, obtain
T₃ cos 50 = T₂ cos 38
0.6428T₃ = 0.788T₂
T₃ = 1.2259T₂             (1)

For vertical force balance, obtain
T₂ sin 38 + T₃ sin 50 = 350
0.6157T₂ + 0.766T₃ = 350     (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
0.6157T₂ + 0.766(1.2259T₂) = 350
1.5547T₂ = 350
T₂ = 225.124 N
T₃ = 1.2259(225.124) = 275.979

Answer:
T₂ = 225.12 N
T₃ = 275.98 N
