A 5.00-kg bucket of paint hangs at the end of a 1.50-m long, 2.00-kg, hinged pole. A cable supports the pole by being attached at a point ¾ of the way from the hinge to the tip. 8. Find the tension in the cable.

Respuesta :

Answer:

T=78.48 N

Explanation:

We know that the moment developed at a hinge equals zero

Thus summing moments about hinge we have

(See attached figure)

[tex]2.0\times g\times \frac{1.5}{2}+1.50\times 5\times g-T\times \frac{3}{4}1.5=0\\\\Solving\\\\T=\frac{1}{1.125}(88.29)\\\\T=78.48N[/tex]
