A horizontal pole is attached to the side of a building. There is a pivot P at the wall and a chain is connected from the end of the pole to a point higher up the wall. There is a tension force F in the chain. What is the moment of the force F about the pivot P?

Fscos63

Explanation:

Given that a horizontal pole is attached to the side of a building. There is a pivot P at the wall and a chain is connected from the end of the pole to a point higher up the wall. There is a tension force F in the chain. What is the moment of the force F about the pivot P?

Taking the moment from the pivot point P, that means the moment at point p = 0

Then, if we consider the weight mg of the pole, according to the principle of equilibrium : sum of the upward forces equal to the sum of the downward forces.

Therefore, mg = Fsinø (1)

Also, taking moment at point P

Let the length of the pole = s

The length of the weight of the pole = 1/2 S

Fscosø = mgs/2

The distance s will cancel out

2Fcosø = mg (3)

Substitute mg in equation 1 into equation 3

2fcosø = fsinø

F will cancel out

Tanø = 2

Ø = tan^-1(2)

Ø = 63.4 degree

The moment of force F about pivot point P will be

Moment = force × distance

Moment = Fcos63 × S

Moment = Fscos63

the temperature in kelvin of 2.0 dm3 of an ideal gas is doubled and its pressure is increased by a factor of four. what is the final volume of the gas

the answer is the first electromagnet (a). this is because it has more coils around the ferromagnetic material. increasing the number of coils increases the surface area in which the metal interacts with the current in the coil. this enables more atoms in the metal to become aligned hence becoming more magnetized.
