Ahungry 900 n bear walks out ona beam in an attempt to
retrieve some "goodies" hanging at the end(fig. p8.20). the beam is
uniform, weighs 200 n, and is 6.00 m long; the goodies weigh90.0
n.
when the bear is at x = 1 m, find the tension in
thewire and the components of the reaction force at thehinge.

(vertical reaction) (in n) = ?

The Tension in the cable is 392.3N. The vertical reaction at the hinge (fixed end) is 850.3N.

The tension in the cable was calculated using the principles of moments which states that the total sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the total sum of anticlockwise moments on a system in equilibrium.

Explanation:

Sum of Clockwise moments = Sum of anticlockwise moments

900×1 + 200×3 + 90×6 = T×Sin120 × 6

900 + 600 + 540 = 5.20T

T = 2040/5.20 = 392.3N

Summing vertical forces

R + Tsin120 = 900 +200+90

R + 392.3sin120 = 1190

R + 339.7 = 1190

R = 1190 - 339.7

R = 850.3N

answer: a) y=-8x+5

a) m= -8

b) m= -2

c) m= 7

d) m= 6

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
