A beam of length L is attached to a string as shown in picture. The mass of the beam is M=20kg. Determine the tension in the string and the force on the beam exerted by the pivot point.
let tension in the string be T, acting in horizontal direction to the right
let force on the beam exerted by the pivot be :
Py, in vertical direction , in upward direction
Px, in horizontal direction, to the left direction
weight of the beam is acting at midpoint of the beam with magnitude of 20*9.8=196 N, in vertically downward direction
hence balancing force along vertical direction:
Py=weight of the beam=196 N
balancing force in horizontal direction:
Px=T
now to find out value of T:
balancing net toruqe about the pivot point:
perpendicular distance of tension T from pivot=(L/3)*sin(30)=L/6
weight of the beam acts at a distance of L/2 from the end point of the beam
hence distance across the beam from the pivot=(L/2)-(L/3)=L/6
then perpendicular distance from the pivot =(L/6)*cos(30)=0.14434*L
hence balancing torque about pivot:
T*L/6=weight*0.14434*L
==>T=weight*0.14434*6=169.74 N
hence Px=169.74 N
so final solution :
tension=169.74 N
force from pivot:
horizontal force=169.74 N
vertical force=196 N
net force magnitude=259.28 N
