Answer: The sheet metal part has a weight per unit area of
Chapter 9, Problem 9-77(choose chapter or problem)
The sheet metal part has a weight per unit area of 2 lb/\(ft^{2}\) and is supported by the smooth rod and the cord at C. If the cord is cut, the part will rotate about the y axis until it reaches equilibrium. Determine the equilibrium angle of tilt, measured downward from the negative x axis, that AD makes with the -x axis

ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
The sheet has weight per unit area of and is supported by the rod and the cord at . If we cut the cord sheet will rotate until it is once again in equilibrium. Determine by which angle did it rotate?
