The upward force on each supporting plank is 200 N

<u>The given parameters include;</u>

  • weight of the plank, W₁ = 400 N
  • length of the plank, l = 2 m
  • upward force of each supporting plank, = W₂ and W₃

To show that the upward force of each supporting plank is 200 N, make the following sketch.

                 W₂                                                           W₃

                  ↑                                                              ↑                                                              

           -----------------------------------------------------------------------

              0.2m                         ↓                               0.2m

                                              400 N

  • The two supporting planks keeps the 2m plank in equilibrium position.
  • If the plank is in equilibrium position the sum of the upward forces equals sum of the downward force.

W₂  +   W₃ = 400 N

But the distance of each supporting plank from the end is equal, (0.2m).

Then, W₂  =  W₃

2W₂ = 400 N

W₂ = 400N/2

W₂ = 200 N

W₃ = 200 N

Therefore, the upward force on each supporting plank that keeps the plank in equilibrium position is 200 N.

How does amplitude determine loudness?
sdas [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Amplitude is a measure of the size of sound waves. It depends on the amount of energy that started the waves. Greater amplitude waves have more energy and greater intensity, so they sound louder.

A man supports himself and the uniform horizontal beam pulling the rope with a force T.The weights of men and the beam are 883 N
artcher [175]

Answer:

T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N

Explanation:

The computation of the tension T in the rope and the forces exerted by the pin at A is shown below:

vertical forces sum = Ay + Tsin20 + T - 245 - 883 = 0

Now  

horizontal forces sum = Ax - Tcos70

Now Moment about B

-Ay × 4.8 + 245 × 2.4 + 883 × 1.8=0

Ay=453.6N

Now substitute in sum of vertical forces T=502.5N

Ax=171.8N
