FULI SCREEN PRINTER VERSION BACK Chapter 12, Problem 031 Your answer is partially correct. Try again In the figure, a nonuniform bar is suspended at rest in a horizontal position by two m makes the angle 67.2" with assless cords as shown in the figure here. One cord bar is 2.6 m, compute the distance x from the left end of the bar to its center of mass makes the angle 9-22.a with the vertical; the other the vertical.

Explanation / Answer

along horizontal

Fnet,x = 0

-TL*sintheta + TR*sinphi = 0

TL = TR*sinphi/sintheta


TL = TR*sin67.2/sin22.8

TL = 2.38*TR


along vertical

TL*costheta + TR*cosphi = W

2.38*TR*cos22.8 + TR*cos67.5 = W

TR = W/(2.38*cos22.8 + cos67.5)

TR = 0.39*W


TL = 0.93*W

Net torque about the left end of the rod = 0

TR*cosphi*L - W*x = 0

0.39*W*cos67.2*2.6 - W*x = 0


0.39*cos67.2*2.6 - x = 0


x = 0.393 m <<<<<------------ANSWER
