One end of a uniform 4.0 m-long rod of weight w{\small w} is supported by a cable at an triangle of θ = 37°{\small \theta\ =\ 37\degree}with the rod. The other end rests against a wall, where it is held by friction, as shown. The coefficient of static friction between the wall end the rod is μs = 0.50.{\small \mu_s\ =\ 0.50.} Determine the minimum distance x{\small x} from point A at which an additional weight w{\small w} (the same as the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A. Enter your answer in meters to the appropriate number of sig figs.
Forces: Standing on a beam
A horizontal beam with a length of 8.0 meters and weight of 200 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection. Its far end is attached to the cable that makes angle of 53 degrees with the beam. A person of weight 600 N stands 2.0 meters away from the wall. What is the tension of the cable (T) and the magnitude of the force that wall applies on the beam (R), respectively?
Hint: The total reaction force is the sum of a normal force (perpendicular to the wall) and a friction force (parallel to the wall). So the net reaction force will be at an angle. (In this problem we are not ignoring friction at the wall). In this problem, there are a few ways to solve it; but you can just treat the reaction force as a single force that provides a single torque at an angle to find the answer.
Practice: Balanced beam
