15. Rotational Equilibrium
Beam / Shelf Against a Wall
Multiple Choice
Multiple ChoiceA beam 200 kg in mass and 6 m in length is held horizontally against a wall by a hinge on the wall and a light rod underneath it, as shown. The rod makes an angle of 30° with the wall and connects with the beam 1 m from its right edge. Calculate the angle that the Net Force of the hinge makes with the horizontal (use +/– for above/below +x axis, and use g=10 m/s2.)
A
θ = −49°
B
θ = −41°
C
θ = +41°
D
θ = +49°
