A bar extends perpendicularly from a vertical wall. The length of the bar is 2 m, and its mass is 10 kg. The free end of the rod is attached to a point on the wall by a light cable, which makes an angle of 30° with the bar. Find the tension in the cable.

Respuesta :

Answer:

T = 98.1 N

Explanation:

Given:

- mass of bar m = 10 kg

- Length of the bar L = 2 m

- Angle between Cable and wall Q = 30 degres

Find:

- Find the tension in the cable.

Solution:

- Take moments about intersection of bar and wall, to be zero (static equilibrium)

                                    (M)_a = 0

                                    T*sin( 30 )*L - m*g*L/2 = 0

                                    T*sin(30) - m*g / 2 = 0

                                    T = m*g / 2*sin(30)

                                    T = 10*9.81 / 2*sin(30)

                                    T = 98.1 N
