A gymnast with mass 50.0 kg stands on the end of a uniform balance beam as shown in the figure. The beam is 5.10 m long and has a mass of 270 kg (excluding the mass of the two supports). Each support is 0.590 m from its end of the beam. In unit-vector notation, what are the forces on the beam due to (a) support 1 and (b) support 2? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

A person with mass 55.0 kg stands 2.00 m away from the wall on a uniform 6.00−m beam, as shown in the figure. The mass of the beam is 40.0 kg. a) Draw a free-body diagram of the beam, similar to Figure 8.18 b. There are four forces that act on the beam. Give each force a subscript letter. b) Write an expression for Στi, the net torque on the beam around the pin on its left end, similar to the first equation on p. 238. c) For each of the four forces on the beam, what is the angle θ between the force and the position vector? (The position vector goes from the pin to where the force is applied to the beam. Also, if the position vector is zero any of the forces, give τ = 0 as your answer.) d) For each force, the torque from that force is defined as τ = r→×F→ = rFsin⁡θ. Using this definition, evaluate your answer to part b), to write an equation similar to the 2 nd equation on p. 238. e) Solve the last equation for the tension in the cable.
