A 9.0 m uniform beam is hinged to a vertical wall and held horizontally by a 5.0 m cable attached to the wall 4.0 m above the hinge, as shown in Figure 10.62. The metal of this cable has a test strength of 1.00 kN, which means that it will break if the tension in it exceeds that amount. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of the beam. (b) What is the heaviest beam that the cable can support with the given configuration? (c) Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force the hinge exerts on the beam.

- A stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P10.73, with AC = BC = = 4.00 m. A painter of mass m = 70.0 kg stands on the ladder d = 3.00 m from the bottom. Assuming the floor is frictionless, find (a) the tension in the horizontal bar DE connecting the two halves of the ladder, (b) the normal forces at A and B, and (c) the components of the reaction force at the single hinge C that the left half of the ladder exerts on the right half. Suggestion: Treat the ladder as a single object, but also treat each half of the ladder separately.arrow_forwardA wooden door 2.1 m high and 0.90 m wide is hung by two hinges 1.8 m apart. The lower hinge is 15 cm above the bottom of the door. The center of mass of the door is at its geometric center, and the weight of the door is 260 N, which is supported equally by both hinges. Find the horizontal force exerted by each hinge on the door.arrow_forwardA stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P12.40, with AC = BC = = 4.00 m.

- A 5.0 kgkg plank is being held up in a horizontal position by a rope as shown in (Figure 1). The plank is 1.0 mm long, and its left end is attached to the wall by a hinge. A 10 kgkg box is placed on the plank at a distance x� from the hinge. If the maximum tension that the rope can sustain is 48 NN, what is the maximum value of x� before the rope breaks?arrow_forwardA traffic light hangs from a 7.2-m long beam (AB) that is attached to a pole by a hinge (A), as shown. A horizontal (massless) cable (CD) supports the beam, making a 37° angle. The cable is attached to the pole 3.8 m above the hinge. The mass of the beam is 12 kg, and the mass of the traffic light is 22 kg. What is the tension in the cable? Also, the hinge exerts a force— with both horizontal and vertical components— on the beam. Find the magnitude of this force.arrow_forwardA 5.15-N beam of uniform density is 1.70 m long. The beam is supported at an angle of 35.0° by a cable attached to one end.
