A piece of modern sculpture consists of an 8.0-m-long, 150 kg stainless steel bar passing diametrically through a 50 kg copper sphere. The center of the sphere is 2.0 m from one end of the bar. To be mounted for display, the bar is oriented vertically, with the copper sphere at the lower end, then tilted 35° from vertical and held in place by one horizontal steel cable attached to the bar 2.0 m from the top end. What is the tension in the cable?

The Tension in the cable is = 801 N

Given data :

Length of  stainless bar = 8 m

Mass of stainless bar = 150 kg

Mass of copper sphere = 50 kg

Radius of sphere = 2.0 m

Ø = 35°

length of cable / cable distance = 6 m

Determine the tension in the cable

First step : Calculate the weight of the sphere and the weight of steel bar

Weight of sphere ( mg )  = 50 * 9.81 ≈ 490 N

angle = 90 + ( 90 - 35 ) = 145°

Torque (τs )   = r*F*sinØ

                      = 2 * 490 * sin 145°  = 562 Nm

Weight of stainless steel bar ( mg ) = 150 * 9.81 ≈ 1470 N

Radius of steel bar ( r ) = 8 / 2 = 4m

Torque ( τb ) = r * F * sinØ

                     = 4 * 1470 * sin 145° = 3373 Nm

Final step : Determine the tension in the cable

Ø =  - ( 180 - 55) = -125°

Torque ( τt ) =  6*T*sin (-125°) = - 4.91 T

Given that the system is in equilibrium the Total torque ( T ) = 0

τs + τb + τt + τn = 0

562 + 3373 - 4.91T + 0 = 0

4.91 T = 3935

∴ T = 801 N

Hence we can conclude that Tension in the cable is 801 N

Tension T = 801N

Explanation: Given that

The mass of the bar Mb = 150kg

Length L = 8m

Mass of the sphere  = 50kg

Radius  = 2m

Cable distance l = 6m

Angle Ø = 35° 

From the figure attached,

The weight of the sphere  = mg

= 490N

Angle Ø = 90 + 55 = 145 degree

Torque(τ)  = rFsinø

Torque  = 2 × 490sin145

Torque(τ) =  562Nm

The weight of the steel bar = mg

= 1470 N

Radius r = 8/2 = 4m

Torque(τ) = rFsinØ = 4×1470sin145

Torque = 3373Nm

The tension on the rope is at angle

Ø = -(180 - 55) = -125 degree

The torque caused by the tension T will be

Torque(τ) = 6Tsin(-125) = -4.91T

The total Torque(τ) = 0 since the system is in equilibrium. Therefore,

τs + τb + τt + τn = 0

Where τn = 0 since the force on normal force = 0

562 + 3373 - 4.91T + 0 = 0

4.91T = 3935

T = 3935/4.91

T = 801N

weather forecasts are done by collecting data about the current state of the atmosphere mainly the temperature, humidity and wind and using meteorology, to determine the atmosphere that evolves over time. the h and l mean the high and low pressure. the red strip is a warm front. the blue strip is a cold front. the blue and red strip is a stationary front. the purple strip is a occluded front.
