    In this first of the seven part series I will show you how to find the tension of a cable attached to a wall and rod with a mass hanging at the end of the rod.

    Hi Michael, been taking physics since grade 11 (I'm 25 now and am in first year engineering, sad I know) and for the first time I actually am feeling like I got what it takes to get good at this. I try to do these problems by myself before watching through and thanks to your excellent teaching methods I am finding at least half of the time I am on the right track... much better than before!

      Don't worry about the "late" start on your engineering studies. (I didn't complete my bachelor degree until I was 27 years old, before I started graduate school). Life happens and we have to live it as it comes. We are glad the videos are helpful.

      @@MichelvanBiezen yeah I wound up working trades for five-ish years before I decided I wanted to be an engineer, I didn't try my best in high school so I had to upgrade practically all my grade 12 credits to even qualify. But now that I'm here I don't wanna give up! Happy to report that I did pass my Physics Mechanics course, I imagine you're a big part of that! So thank you for your encouragement, here's hoping Waves and Fields will go well.

    To find the horizontal force on the hinge, you must sum all the forces in the x-direction.
    Therefore
    Fx = T cos (30 degrees)
    To find the vertical force at the hinge, you must use the sum of the torques with the pivot point at the right end of the horizontal beam.

    What if the beam is not level and the big force is actually on a ramp connected to the end of the beam?
    I have a bus with a foldimg rear door(5ft.) that is part of the ramp. The ramp extends another 7 ft to the ground. The pivot is 40" high. The door would need to be lowered to 25" to make the ramp accessible to the car, then lifted once the car is pulled into the ramp to straighten the door and ramp combination.

    The teacher drew (min. 0:50) the pivot...well. But he explained us that putting this pivot he eliminates the two unknown forces (reactions X and Y). Sorry it only eliminates another torque. The reactions stay or remain. Please just note that this force doesn't (or pair of forces Rx and Ry don't) produce moment or torque because its line of action passes through the fulcrum or pivot axis. . . Sorry about my English.

    • @MichelvanBiezen

      There are x and y forces where the post in embedded in the ground, but those forces would not add torque, since the distance from the point of rotation are considered "zero".

I'm kind of confused when it comes to picking that angle theta to be 30 degrees, I thought since that line(T) divide theta and that 30 degrees thus they are complementary angles which add up to 90 degrees. So I said 90=30-theta that made my theta to be 60 degrees. Please clear my confusion?

      The 30 degree angle is on the inside (see the equal sign). I ran out of room on the inside of the triangle.

    Sir what's the hinge force at A when it is vertical and horizontal

    I always thought that defining positive rotation to be clockwise seemed more logical and intuitive - after all, that's the "natural" rotation since the sun rotates that way, and we tend to stick to positive values as much as possible since most people prefer positive values.

      It only matters when when computing vector products, then the direction of the torque matters and should be taken to be positive in the counter-clockwise direction. Otherwise it doesn't matter as long as you stay consistent.

    My professor did a similar problem to this one and he multiplied the w(L/2) + Wload(L)/ Sin theta and the result was a smaller value. I'm really confused as to when to use length and when not to.

      What was the factor he multiplied the equation with and what was the equation?

    There are 4 forces acting on the beam (not 3 as stated). Weight of beam, weight at end, tension and normal force at hinge.

    Dear,
    why the center of mass of rod is at its center? We also have mass at right side thus CM shall be to the right...

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Each mass is taken separately. Thus the center of mass of the beam is at the center.

    What is material and diameter of cable to withstand the tension, also length and height of the wall and mounting of the cable is going to matter in the above example

      Those concepts are explained in a different playlist. Here we are only considerting the concept of torque

    Professor Biezen, these lecture are fantastic, however what point did you take the torque about?

    • @MichelvanBiezen
      @MichelvanBiezen  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The point about which we find the torque is where the horizontal beam is connected to the vertical post.
