A single gondola car (m=222kg) is supported by a massless rigid cable suspended at equal heights on opposite sides of a canyon. The seperation between the towers is 0.4 km and the length of the cable is 0.41 km. (10 m of extra cable). What is the tension in the cable when the gondola stops at the halfway point. What happens to tension at the halfway point if the cable is 0.401 km? Qualitatively, what happens to tension on both sides of the cable as the gondola moves from the center all the way to one of the edges?

A massless rigid rod whose length L = 21.0 cm has a ball of mass m = 0.079 kg attached to one end (see Figure). The other end is pivoted in such a way that the ball will move in a vertical circle. The system is launched from the horizontal position A with an initial downward speed v0. The ball just reaches point D and then stops. Calculate v0. What is the tension in the rod at B? · Rod...
A 3 m rigid bar AB is supported with a vertical translational spring at A and a pin at B The bar is subjected to a linearly varying distributed load with maximum intensity g Calculate the vertical deformation of the spring if the spring constant is 700 kN/m. (ans: 21.43 mm) 2. A steel cable with a nominal diameter of 25 mm is used in a construction yard to lift a bridge section weighing 38 kN. The cable has an...
