    1. A bar with masses attached at each end is balanced on a fulcrum. The fulcrum should be placed 29.8 cm from the left end to balance the system. 2. A horizontal beam weighing 150 N has its center of gravity at its center. The tension in the supporting cable is 625 N. The horizontal and vertical forces on the beam at the wall are 500 N and 75 N respectively. 3. A uniform plank rests against a frictionless roller on a wall. Its free body diagram shows the relevant forces and the equations of equilibrium are written using these forces to solve for minimum angles and forces.

    Discussion Quiz 12 (40 points)


    Class No. & Surname:
    U  U-1  U-2  U-3  U-4
    Answer each question completely in the spaces provided. This is a closed notes quiz but you
    are allowed to discuss with your classmate. Round your final answer properly and box it.
    Explicitly state the coordinate system you used. Use g = 9.80 [m/s2 ].

    1. [10 pts] A 0.120-[kg], 50.0-[cm]-long uniform bar has a small 0.055-[kg] mass glued to
    its left end and a small 0.110-[kg] mass glued to the other end. The two small masses
    can each be treated as point masses. You want to balance this system horizontally on
    a fulcrum placed just under its center of gravity. How far from the left end should the
    fulcrum be placed?

    Solution: The center of gravity of the bar is at its center and it can be treated as
    a point mass at that point. Use coordinates with the origin at the left end of the
    bar and the +x axis along the bar.
    m1 x1 + m2 x2 + m3 x3
    xcm = = 0.298 [m] (1)
    m1 + m2 + m3
    Physics 71 DQ 12

    2. The horizontal beam in the following figure weighs 150 [N], and its center of gravity is
    at its center.
    (a) [5 pts] Find the tension in the cable.

    Solution: Apply the second condition for equilibrium.

    ∑
    τz = −w(2.00) − wload (4.00) + T sin θ(4.00) = 0 (2)
    which gives
    w(2.00) + wload (4.00)
    T = = 625 [N] (3)
    (4.00) sin θ

    (b) [5 pts] Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted on the
    beam at the wall.

    Solution: Apply the first condition for equilibrium.


    ∑
    Fx = Hh − T cos θ = 0 (4)

    gives Hh = T cos θ = 500 [N] .


    ∑
    Fy = Hv − w − wload + T sin θ = 0 (5)

    gives Hv = w + wload − T sin θ = 75 [N]


    Physics 71 DQ 12

    3. [10 pts] A uniform plank, with length L and weight of W , rests on the ground and
    against a frictionless roller at the top of a wall of height h. The plank remains in
    equilibrium for any value of θ ≥ 60◦ but slips if θ < 60◦ . Draw its free body diagram
    properly and setup the equilibrium equations.

    Solution: The equations of equilibrium are,

    F sin θ − f = 0 (6)
    F cos θ − W + FN = 0 (7)
    FN d − f h − W (d − 0.5L cos θ) = 0 (8)

    The point of contact between the plank and the roller was used as the origin for
    writing the torque equation.
    Physics 71 DQ 12

    4. [10 pts] A circular steel wire 2.00 [m] long must stretch no more than 0.25 [cm] when
    a tensile force of 400 [N] is applied to each end of the wire. What minimum diameter
    is required for the wire? (Y = 2.0 × 1011 [N/m2 ] for steel)

    Solution: Begin with


    l0 F⊥
    Y = (9)
    A∆l
    so
    l0 F⊥
    A= = 1.6 × 10−6 [m2 ]. (10)
    Y ∆l
    √
    Since A = πr2 , so r = A/π = 7.1 × 10−4 [m]. Finally d = 2r = 1.4 [mm]
