A 4.00-m-long, 470 kg steel beam extends horizontally from the point where it has been bolted to the framework of a new building under construction. A 75.0 kg construction worker stands at the far end of the beam. For the steps and strategies involved in solving a similar problem, you may view a Video Tutor Solution. What is the magnitude of the torque about the point where the beam is bolted into place?

12164.4 Nm

Explanation:

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT

Given values are;

m1= 470 kg

x= 4m

m2= 75kg

Cm = center of mass

g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.82 m/s^2

The distance of centre of mass is x/2

Center of mass(1) = x/2

But x= 4 m

Then substitute, we have,

Center of mass(1) = 4/2 = 2m

We can find the total torque, through the summation of moments that comes from both the man and the beam.

τ = τ(1) + τ(2)

But

τ(1)= ( Center of m1 × m1 × g)= (2× 470× 9.81)

= 9221.4Nm

τ(2)= X * m2 * g = ( 4× 75 × 9.81)= 2943Nm

τ = τ(1) + τ(2)

= 9221.4Nm + 2943Nm

= 12164.4 Nm

Hence, the magnitude of the torque about the point where the beam is bolted into place is 12164.4 Nm

hi there!

your question asks at which segment does freezing occur.

since we're talking about water, the freezing point of water will be 32 degrees fahrenheit or below.

hope this ! ~
