Answer:
Explanation:
For free body diagram see attached sheet .
W is weight of steel girder acting at the middle point of its length . T is tension in the cable .
OB = √ ( 12² - 2² )
= 11.83 m .
OC = 11.83 / 2 = 5.915 m
Taking moment of tension T and weight W about point O
W x OC = T x OB
22 x 5.915 = T x 11.83
T = 22 x 5.915 / 11.83
= 11 kN
Considering forces acting in vertical direction and equating forces in opposite direction
T + R = W
R = W - T
= 22 - 11 = 11 KN
So force of grinder on the ground = R
= 11 KN.

The weight of a column of air with cross-sectional area 4. 5 m^2 extending from earth's surface to the top of the atmosphere is, 4.56*10^5N.
To find the answer, we have to know about the pressure.
<h3>How to find the weight of a column of air?</h3>- As we know that the expression of pressure as,
where; F is the force, here it is equal to the weight of the air column, and A is the area of cross section.
- It is given that, the air column is extending from earth's surface to the top of the atmosphere, thus, the pressure will be atmospheric pressure,
- From this, the value of weight will be,
Thus, we can conclude that, the weight of a column of air with cross-sectional area 4. 5 m^2 extending from earth's surface to the top of the atmosphere is, 4.56*10^5N.
