VW Bodies in Equilibrium 29 and but ‘Therefore = 816N ‘Thus, the cable tension is8.5 X 10*N, whilethe hinge pin pushes outward with a force of 8.2 x 10? N and pushes upward with a force of 3.2 X 10° N. Practice Calculate the torque of each force about the corresponding point P.

It rests, tmattached, on a concrete slab with one end overhanging the ccige by 5.5 m. How far can an 80 kg mani walk out on the girder before it tips? Gm), 3. A short-wave acrial is attached to the top of a mast 20 m high, and exerts a force of 600 Non the top of the mast (see diagram). ‘The mast is supported by a guy wire running to the ground from a point 6.0 m below the top of the mast, indined 60° 0 the horizontal. The mast is pivoted on a hinge pin at its base. Determine the tension in the guy wire. (17 x 10°N) 4. A.41 kg trapdoor, 1.2 m long, is supported by a hinge at A and a sloping rope at B. Find the tension in the rope and the vertical and horizontal reactions of the hinge if the rope is just about to open the trap door, (2.2 X 10° N; 93 N, 2.0 x 10#N)Becomand rcs ot yes ener ure \ Ladder Quiz 5. A 40 kg plank 6.0 m long is supported by sawhorses A and B, <———. as shown. A 60 kg crate is placed on the plank, 2.0m from Bl (a) Pind the reaction forces at A and B, A. A (b) Ifthe box and sawhorse B are moved as illustrated, find the reaction forces at A and B. a (3.9 X 10°N, 5.9 X 10° N; 3.3 x 10*N, 6.5 x 10°N) A 3.0 m diving board with a mass of 26 kg is fastened securely at two points A and B, as illustrated. If a 46 kg diver stands 0.50 m from the end, find the forces at A and B. (8.0 x 10*N [down], 1.5 x 10 N [up]) 6 Ale . 050m 30m: 7, A.12.0'm ladder, whose mass is 20 kg, is leaning against a wall, with its base 6,0 m from the wall and at a slope of 60° to the floor. Because both the wall and the floor are frictionless, a rope is tied horizontally 0.50 m from the bottom of the ladder to the wall. A 72 kg plasterer climbs three-quarters of the way up the ladder and stops. What is the tension in the rope and what are the reactive forces at the wall and the floor? 3.8 X 10° N; 3.8 X.10°N, 9.0 x 10? N)
