A 9.0 m long uniform rod with a weight of 8 N has 3 masses hanging from it; a 4N mass 1 meter from the left end, a 2 N mass 6 me

ters from the left end and a 3 N mass 4 meters from the left end. What force must be applied to bring the rod into total mechanical equilibrium

Answer:

Explanation:

Assume the rod is horizontal

Sum vertical forces to zero

F - 8 - 4 - 2 - 3 = 0

F = 17 N

While this result answers precisely the question asked, it is not sufficient to guarantee equilibrium. We must also locate this force by summing moments to zero. Let's choose to sum about the left end.

8[9/2] + 4[1] + 2[6] + 3[4] - 17[x] = 0

x = 3.76470588...

the force must be supplied upward approximately 3.765 m from the left end

The rod does not actually have to be horizontal. Moment arms will all be proportionately reduced by tilting the bar from horizontal and the results will be identical. Assuming horizontal just reduces the calculation effort.

Explain resolution of Force​
Margarita [4]

Answer:

it is defined as splitting up the given force into a number of components, without changing its effects on the body is called resolution of forces. A force is generally resolved along with two mutually perpendicular directions.

maxonik [38]
Lo experiences tidal heating primarily because lo’s elliptical orbit causes the tidal force on lo to vary as it orbits the Jupiter. Thus, lo’s elliptical orbit is essential to its tidal heating. This elliptical orbit, in turn, is an end result of the orbital resonance among lo, Europa and ganymade. This orbital resonance origin lo to have a more elliptical orbit than it would because lo intermittently passes Europa and ganymade in the same orbital position. We cannot perceive tidal forces of tidal heating in lo but rather we foresee that they must occur based on the orbital characteristic of the moons and active volcanoes on lo is the observational evidence that tidal heating is significant in lo.
