QUESTION:
Determine the net torque on the 2.0-m-long uniform beam shown in Fig. 8-45. All forces are shown. Calculate about (a) point C, the \(\mathrm{CM}\), and (b) point P at one end.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
The following data is given:
The three forces are given as:
The length of the beam is L=2.0 m.
The point C is at a distance of 1.0 m.
The force on the top of the beam is \(F_1=56\ \text{N}\), making an angle of \(32^\circ\) with the vertical.
The force on the bottom of the beam at point P is \(F_2=52\ \text{N}\), making an angle of \(36^\circ\) with the vertical.
The force at the point C of the beam is \(F_3=65\ \text{N}\), making an angle of \(45^\circ\) with the vertical.
