Question

Horseback and Drawbridge question.

A person on horseback is on a drawbridge which is at an angle 𝜃 = 20.0° above the horizontal, as shown in the figure. The center of mass of the person-horse system is d = 1.00 m from the end of the bridge. The bridge is  = 6.99 m long and has a mass of 1,900 kg. A cable is attached to the bridge 5.00 m from the hinge and to a point on the wall 

h = 12.0 m

 above the bridge. The mass of person plus horse is 1,100 kg. Assume the bridge is uniform. Note that the drawing is not to scale and you may not assume that the cable is perpendicular to the bridge. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations.


a)

Determine the tension in the cable (in N).

(b)

Determine the horizontal force component (in N) acting on the bridge at the hinge.

magnitude Ndirection

(c)

Determine the vertical force component (in N) acting on the bridge at the hinge.

    Sir Lost-a-Lot dons his armor and sets out from the castle on his trusty steed in his quest to improve communication between damsels and dragons. Unfortunately his squire lowered the draw bridge too far and finally stopped it 20.0 degree below the horizontal. Lost-a-Lot and his horse stop when their combined center of mass is 1.00 m from the end of the bridge. The uniform bridge is 9.00 m long and has a mass of 1800 kg. The lift cable...

    Sir Lost-a-Lot dons his armor and sets out from the castle on his trusty steed (see figure below). Usually, the drawbridge is lowed to a horizontal position so that the end of the bridge rests on the stone ledge. Unfortunately, Lost-a-Lot's squire didn't lower the drawbridge far enough and stopped it at θ = 20.0° above the horizontal. The knight and his horse stop when their combined center of mass is d = 1.00 m from the end of the...

    Problem 5: 20 points A loaded cement mixer truck drives onto an old drawbridge (length = 40m and Mbridge = 18,000kg) where it stalls with the truck's center of gravity three quarters of the way across the span. The truck sets its brakes such that it won't move and the bridge is raised by means of a cable attached at the end of the bridge. The truck (and driver) have a mass of mtruck = 30,000kg. When the bridge has...
