Question: A uniform horizontal beam 5 . 0 0 m long and weighing 3 . 0 0 x 1 0 2 N is attached to a

A uniform horizontal beam 5.00 m long and weighing 3.00x 102 N is attached to a wall by a pin
connection that allows the beam to rotate. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an
angle of 53.0o with the horizontal. If a person weighing 6.00x 102 N stands 1.50 m from the wall,
find the magnitude of the tension T in the cable and the force R exerted by the wall on the
beam.
Example 5
A solid frictionless cylindrical reel of mass M =3.00-kg and radius R =0.400 m is used to draw
water from a well. A bucket of mass m =2.00 kg is attached to a cord that is wrapped around
the cylinder.
(a) Find the tension T in the cord and acceleration of the bucket.
(b) If the bucket starts from rest at the top of the well and falls for 3.00s before hitting the
water, how far does it fall?
