Answer:
Equivalent resistance: 13.589 Ω
Explanation:
R series = R1 + R2 + R3 ...
Find the equivalent resistance of the right branch of the circuit:
The maximum value of θ of such the ropes (with a maximum tension of 5,479 N) will be able to support the beam without snapping is:
We can apply the first Newton's law in x and y-direction.
If we do a free body diagram of the system we will have:
x-direction
All the forces acting in this direction are:
(1)
Where:
- T(1) is the tension due to the rope 1
- T(2) is the tension due to the rope 2
Here we just conclude that T(1) = T(2)
y-direction
The forces in this direction are:
(2)
Here W is the weight of the steel beam.
We equal it to zero because we need to find the maximum angle at which the ropes will be able to support the beam without snapping.
Knowing that T(1) = T(2) and W = mg, we have:
T(1) must be equal to 5479 N, so we have:
Therefore, the maximum angle allowed is θ = 37.01°.
