5. Two identical, uniform beams of length 3 m and weighing 260 N each are
connected at one end by a frictionless hinge. A light horizontal crossbar, attached at the
midpoints of the beams maintains an angle 50° between the beams. The beams are
suspended from the ceiling by vertical wires so they form a V. See figure. (a) What force
does the crossbar exert on each beam? (b) Is the crossbar under compression or tension,
i.e. are the ends of the crossbar being pushed together or stretched farther apart? (c) What
force (magnitude and direction) does the hinge exert on each beam?
Crossbar
Hinge
One end of a uniform - 3.60-m-long rod of weight w is supported by a cable at an angle of 6-37° with the rod. The other end rests against a wall, where it is held by friction (see figure). The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is,-0.460. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight w (the same as the weight of the rod) can be
hung without causing the rod to slip at point A
Standing on a Horizontal Beam
A uniform horizontal beam with a length of = 9.10 m and a weight of W, = 225N is attached to a wall by a pin connection. Its far
end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of = 45.0° with the beam (see figure). A person of weight W,- 650 N stands a
distance d = 2.25 m from the wall. Find the tension in the cable as well as the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the
wall on the beam.

SOLUTION
Conceptualize Imagine the person in figure (a) moves outward on the beam. It seems reasonable that the farther he moves
outward, the larger the torque he applies about the pivot and the Select
the tension in the cable must be to balance this
torque.
Categorize Because the system is at rest, we categorize the beam as a rigid object -Select-…
