Tension Wire

AI Thread Summary

To solve the statics problem involving a cylinder weighing 800 N supported by poles, it is essential to apply the principles of equilibrium, specifically that the sum of horizontal forces (Fx) and vertical forces (Fy) must equal zero, along with the moments about any point. The calculations should begin by identifying the forces acting on the cylinder and the tension in the wire, using the known weight to establish a balance of forces. By setting up equations based on these principles, one can derive the forces at points A and B, as well as the tension in the wire. Detailed calculations will help clarify the relationships between these forces and ensure the system remains in equilibrium. A systematic approach to the problem will lead to the correct values for the forces and tension involved.

A cylinder (800 N) is beng kept up by the the poles. Find the Foces in A and B and the tension in the wire

I have a bit unusual statics problem. Never done a problem simular to this.

I know about Fx=0 and Fy=0 and the moments at any point is=0

Can anyone help me to get started with this one.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
