A mobile consisting of a horizontal bar of length 70cm and negligible mass from which two decorations are hung up by light strings. The bar is suspended by a vertical wire. Assume two significant digits in the given data.
a) How far from the left-hand end of the wire is the vertical wire attached?
b) What is the magnitude of the tension in the wire?

Question is based upon the fact that if many forces acted upon a system of body which is free to move about a point then if it is in equilibrium then Sum of moments of all the forces will be zero..Also sum of forces in vertical and horizontal directions will be also zero.

In the figure, a thin horizontal bar AB of negligible weight and length L = 3.2 m is hinged to a vertical wall at A and supported at B by a thin wire BC that makes an angle 0 = 44° with the horizontal. A block of weight W = 170 N can be moved anywhere along the bar; its position is defined by the distance x = 0.887 m from the wall to its center of mass. Find (a)...

A Bar Suspended by Two Vertical StringsThe figure (Figure 1) shows a model of a crane that may be mounted on a truck.A rigid uniform horizontal bar of massm1 = 80.00kg and length L = 5.100m is supported by two vertical massless strings. String A is attached at a distance d = 1.200m from the left end of the bar and is connected to the top plate. String B is attached to the left end of the bar and is...
A rigid, uniform, horizontal bar of mass m1 and length L is
supported by two identical massless strings. (Figure 1) Both
strings are vertical. String A is attached at a distance d<L/2
from the left end of the bar and is connected to the ceiling;
string B is attached to the left end of the bar and is connected to
the floor. A small block of mass m2 is supported against gravity by
the bar at a distance x from...
