00:01
Okay, we want to find the forces at each of the pins and the tension in the wire over here.
00:08
T.
00:09
So i am going to treat it as a whole first.
00:17
So draw a free body diagram for the whole thing.
00:20
And by the way, i'm going to call this angle here, theta.
00:25
And i can see that tan theta is 800.
00:33
So m is 100 kilograms.
00:44
So back down here.
00:45
Then we also need a torque or moment equation.
00:49
So the trick always when calculating the torque equation is picking where you're going to use as your center.
00:57
And you can use any point you want.
00:59
And this is the point i'm going to use because it's easiest to calculate the torques from here.
01:06
All right.
01:06
So let's remember this is point g.
01:08
We're only interested in the external stuff.
01:12
So we're not interested in any of the internal forces now.
01:16
All right.
01:17
So we've got the torque due to the tension t plus the torque due to the force at c, plus the torque due to the force of g has to add up to zero.
01:37
So t gives us something that's clockwise.
01:41
Excuse me.
01:43
Yes.
01:44
So it's minus t times.
01:49
This distance, which is 400.
01:56
And by the way, this distance here, and this one here.
02:15
So it's t times.
02:18
Then the one at c, the y component doesn't matter for calculating the torque.
02:25
Only the x component does.
02:27
And that one is counterclockwise.
02:30
So it gets a plus.
02:32
And that distance was 800...
