Question:
You are a summer intern for an architectural firm. An 8.00-m-long uniform steel rod is to be attached to a wall by a frictionless hinge at one end. The rod is to be held at 22.0o below the horizontal by a light cable that is attached to the end of the rod opposite the hinge. The cable makes an angle of 30.0o with the rod and is attached to the wall at a point above the hinge. The cable will break if its tension exceeds 650 N.
(a) For what mass of the rod will the cable break?
(b) If the rod has a mass that is 10.0 kg less than the value calculated in part (a), what are the magnitude and direction of the force that the hinge exerts on the rod?
