Question

In the figure, a uniform beam of weight 570 N and length 3.3 m is suspended horizontally. On the left it is hinged to a wall; on the right it is supported by a cable bolted to the wall at distance D above the beam. The least tension that will snap the cable is 1500 N. What value of D corresponds to that tension?

Step 1

The torque due to the weight of the beam is given by the formula: Torque = Weight * Distance Torque = 570 N * 3.3 m = 1881 Nm Show more…
