That's it, i am mixing rotational movement with the force of gravity. It's seems clear now. Your input is highly appreciated.
If i made the impression of being assertive in my posts, i would like to say that it is the complete opposite. I am fairly new to physics and i am just eager to learn...
I want to thank everyone for their quick replies by the way.
I think i see your way of reasoning. Imagining several force vectors with a downwards vertical direction across the horizontal plane, for the x-distance of the bar. Since the rod is presumed to be homogenous, each of these vectors are...
I was trying to show how much force that H would be subjected to, in case the bar was "standing" on it, completely vertical. Since the total weight(force) of the bar would be on H, i excluded the string since the magnitude of the supporting force in the string would be zero.
I only made the two other diagonal calculations in case 3 for the sake of displaying how big the forces would have been, in case of a diagonal string. But i understand it might be misleading.
What support force is required from the string to maintain the rod in this position?
Spot on.
Well, that the force that i am looking for acts vertically i do understand. I only made the two other diagonal calculations in case 3 for the sake of displaying how big the forces would have been, in...
Summary:: I am trying to figure out how much force that either end of a tilted rod are subjected to as a consequence of gravity. One end being attached to a hinge, the other to a string from above.
Hello, it's my first time on this forum. I have recently started learning about torque (Nm) and...
