An 73.9 kg construction worker sits down 2.16 m from the end of a 1415.9 kg steel beam to eat his lunch. The cable supporting the beam is rated at 16576 N. Should the worker be worried? (To answer that question calculate the tension in the cable. Use θ=32°, L=6.8 m.)
Suppose the tension in cable is T, Now applying torque balance about the away end of beam from worker
Vertical component of tension in cable = T*sin 32 deg
Weight of beam = M*g = 1415.9*9.81
Weight of worker = m*g = 73.9*9.81
Now apply torque balance
Net torque = 0, So
T*sin 32 deg*L - M*g*(L/2) - m*g*(6.8 - 2.16) = 0
L = length of beam = 6.8 m
T*6.8*sin 32 deg = M*g*3.4 + m*g*4.64
T = (1415.9*9.81*3.4 + 73.9*9.81*4.64)/(6.8*sin 32 deg)
T = 14039.2 N
14039.2 < 16576, So
Since tension in beam is lower than rate of beam 16576 N, So Worker should not be worried.

A 69 kg construction worker is standing on an 18.0 kg plank. The plank is 4.5 m long and it is suspended by vertical cables at each end. If the worker stands 2.80 from the right end of the plank, what is the tension in right cable? Give your answer in newtons (N) and with 3 significant figures. Please Show Work :)
apt 12) Consider a construction worker of mass -78.5 kg standing at the end of a steel beam of length10.0 m and mass M-715 kg that is attached to the side of a building. A rope is attached midway along the beam making an angle 0-23.8 with the horizon and attached to the side of the building as shown in the figure below. rope pivot point (a) (6 pts) Draw and label the force vectors on the beam excluding forces...
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?
Problem 6: A uniform beam of length L = 3.2 m and mass M = 32 kg has its lower end fixed to pivot at a point P on the floor, making an angle θ = 29° as shown in the digram.
