Problem 6 The beam in the figure shown has negligible weight. If the system hangs in equilibrium when \( \mathrm{W}_{2}=500 \mathrm{~N} \), what is the value of \( \mathrm{W}_{1} \) ?

Step 1
The system is in equilibrium, so the sum of the torques around any pivot point must be zero. The forces involved are \( W_1 \) and \( W_2 = 500 \, \text{N} \). Show more…

The beam in Fig. 5-24 has negligible weight. If the system hangs in equilibrium when $F_{W 1}=500 \mathrm{~N}$, what is the value of $F_{W 2}$ ?
5.26 The beam in Fig. 5-24 has negligible weight. If the system hangs in equilibrium when Fir₁ = 500 N, what is the value of F? Ans. 0.64 kN. 5.27 Repeat Problem 5.26, but now find Fw if Fir2 is 500 N. The beam weighs 300 N and is uniform. Ans. 0.56 kN

In the figure (Figure 1)a 6.00-m-long, uniform beam is hanging from a point 1.00m to the right of its center. The beam weighs 131 N and makes an angle of 30.0∘ with the vertical. At the right-hand end of the beam, a concrete block weighing 100N is hung; an unknown weight w hangs at the other end. a) If the system is in equilibrium, what is w? You can ignore the thickness of the beam. b) If the beam makes, instead, an angle of 45.0 ∘ with the vertical, what is w?
