You are a summer intern for an architectural firm. An 8.00-m-long uniform steel rod is to be attached to a wall by a frictionless hinge at one end. The rod is to be held at 24.0 ? below the horizontal by a light cable that is attached to the end of the rod opposite the hinge. The cable makes an angle of 35.0 ? with the rod and is attached to the wall at a point above the hinge. The cable will break if its tension exceeds 700 N .
a.) For the sting to break, the tension in it must exceed 700 N
For the given system we balance the net torque acting about the hinge due to the weigh of the rod and the tension in the string.
Now, the net force has to be zero for it to be balanced right before the moment the string snaps.
That is, 700*8* sin35 = m*9.81*4*cos24
Hence, m = 3212.028 / 0.914*9.81*4 = 89.56 kgs
b.) Here, we determine the tension in the string first by balancing the moment about the hinge.
Hence 79.56 * 9.81 * 4 * cos24 = T * 8 * sin35
That is, T = 621 N
Now, we balance the horixontal and vertical forces separately so as to determine the net force by hinge.
That is Fy + Tsin59 = Mg; Hence, Fy = 79.56*9.81 - 621*sin59 = 780.48 - 532.3 = 248.18 N
Again forces along the x axis;
Fx = Tcos59 = 621 * cos 59 = 319.84 N
Therefore the net magnitude of the force being exerted by the rod = sqrt[248.18^2 + 319.84^2] = 404.83 N
c.) For angle above the normal tanθ = Fy/Fx
θ = tanh248.18/319.84 = 0.65 = 37 degrees

A 45.0 kg uniform rod 4.40 m long is attached to a wall with a hinge at one end. The rod is held in a horizontal position by a wire attached to its other end. The wire makes an angle of 30.0 ∘ with the horizontal, and is bolted to the wall directly above the hinge. If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 1300 N before breaking, how far from the wall can a 70.0 kg person sit...

A uniform horizontal beam with a length l = 8.00 m and weight of Wb = 200 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of θ = 53.0◦ with the beam. A person of weight Wp = 600 N stands a distance d = 2.00 m from the wall. Find the tension in the cable.
A 4-m long, 150-kg steel beam is attached to a wall with one end connected to a hinge that allows the beam to rotate up and down. The other end of the beam is held in a horizontal position with a cable that makes a 27° angle with the beam and is attached to the wall (see (Figure 1)). What is the tension force that keeps this beam in static equilibrium?
A uniform meter stick of mass 1.5kg is attached to the wall by a frictionless hinge at one end. On the opposite end it is supported by a vertical massless string such that the stick makes an angle of 40 degrees with the horizontal. Find the tension in the string and the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the stick by the hinge.

please explain what equation you use to solve this problem 1. A 2.0 m long rod is hinged at one end and connected to a wall (at the hinged end). It is held at an angle of 30° from the horizontal axis by a cable attached to the rod and to the wall, as shown in Fig. 1. Suddenly, the cable snaps (so the cable is no longer applying any tension force to the rod). The moment of inertia for...
