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

A tetrahedron has an equilateral triangle base with 25.0-cm-long edges and three equilateral triangle sides. The base is paralle
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

a. 7.046 Nm²/C

b. 2.348 Nm²/C

Explanation:

Data given:

Base of equilateral triangle = 25.0 cm = 0.25 m

Strength of electric field = 260 N/C

In order to find the electric flux we first have to find out the area of triangle.

Area of triangle = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}

                         = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.25)^{2}

                         = 0.0271 m³

Lets find electric flux,

      Electric Flux = E. A

                          = 260×0.0271

                          = 7.046 Nm²/C

Now we can find the electric flux through each of the three sides.

Electric flux through three sides = \frac{7.046}{3}

                                                = 2.348 N m²/C

devlian [24]

Answer:

The right answer is:

(a) 63.83 kg

(b) 0.725 m/s

Explanation:

The given query seems to be incomplete. Below is the attachment of the full question is attached.

The given values are:

T = 3 sec

k = 280 N/m

(a)

The mass of the string will be:

⇒ T=2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

or,

⇒ m=\frac{k T^2}{4 \pi^2}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒     =\frac{280\times (3)^2}{4 \pi^2}

⇒     =\frac{280\times 9}{4\times (3.14)^2}

⇒     =68.83 \ kg

(b)

The speed of the string will be:

⇒  \frac{1}{2}k(0.4)^2=\frac{1}{2}k(0.2)^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2

then,

⇒             v=\sqrt{\frac{k((0.4)^2-(0.2)^2)}{m} }

On substituting the values, we get

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280\times ((0.4)^2-(0.2)^2)}{63.83} }

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280(0.16-0.04)}{63.83} }

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280\times 0.12}{63.83} }

⇒                =0.725 \ m/s

What is the difference between internal and external force
AnnZ [28]

Answer:External forces are forces caused by external agent outside of the system. Internal forces are forces exchanged by the objects in the system.

Explanation:or our purposes, we will simply say that external forces include the applied force, normal force, tension force, friction force, and air resistance force. And for our purposes, the internal forces include the gravity forces, magnetic force, electrical force, and spring force.HOPE THIS HELPS!!! ^w^
