The sign in the figure weighs 200 N. The boom is of uniform construction. If the force exerted by the hinge on the boom is 300 N and acts at an angle of 20º above the horizontal, the weight of the boom is
A. ~250 N
B. ~540 N
C. ~460 N
D. ~413 N
E.None of these is correct.
Torque = Force * distance * sin θ
The cable is attached to the end of the boom, so distance = L
Torque caused by tension in cable = T * L
The 200 N weight is attached to the end of the boom, so distance =
L
Torque caused by tension in cable = 200 * L * sin 20°
clockwise
The 300 N weight of the boom is at the center of the boom so
distance = L/2
Torque caused by weight of boom = 300 * ½ * L * sin 20°
clockwise
Torque counter clockwise = torque clockwise
T * L = 300 * ½ * L * sin 20° + 200 * L * sin 20°
L cancels out
T = 150 * sin 20° + 200 * sin 20° = 350 * sin 20°
T = 119.7 N
now
Horizontal component of the tension = T * cos 20°
= 119.7*cos20o
T = 112.48 N
total weight is 200+119+112
= 431N
so nearly equal to 413 N
so option (D) is correct.

The boom shown in the figure has a length of 4 m. and weighs 300 N. It is used to lift a weight of 400 N. If the boom is inclined at 53 degrees to the horizontal, calculate the tension T in the tie which is linked to the boom at a distance of 3 m from the ground.
A crane is made from a uniform rigid boom of length L = 30m and weight w = 400N. The boom is sup- ported by a frictionless hinge at its lower end. Its upper end is attached to a support cable which is fas- tened behind the boom at the same horizontal level as the hinge. Adjusting the length of the support / cable adjusts the angle of the boom. In a particu- 7/TTI IN lar application, the crane is...
