Question

What is the distance between the monkey and string and string 2? Express your answer in terms of L. Which of the following choices of pivot point would lead to a torque equation in which the only unknown quantity is T1? the center of mass of the bar the point of attachment of string 1 the point of attachment of string 2 the end of the bar closest to string 2 If you choose the point of attachment of string 2 as the pivot point, the torque equation will not depend on the (unknown) tension in string 2. Eliminating terms, particularly those involving unknown quantities from the torque equation generally makes it easier to slove. Other choice of

Explanation / Answer

T1*3L/4=(m+m/2)*g*L/4

==> T1=mg/2

distance between monkey and string 2= L/4

the point of attachment of string 2

T1*3L/4=(m+m/2)*g*L/4

==> T1=mg/2
