Current Question (ID: 10281)

Question:

$\text{A uniform beam, 3.0 m long, of weight 100 N has a 300 N weight placed 0.5 m from one end. The beam is suspended by a string 1.0 m from the same end. A diagram of the weights placed on the beam is given below:}$ $\text{How far from the other end must a weight of 80 N be placed for the beam to be balanced?}$

Options:

1. $0.75 \text{ m}$
2. $2.25 \text{ m}$
3. $1.25 \text{ m}$
4. $1.875 \text{ m}$

Solution:

$\text{Hint: For rotational equilibrium, } \tau_{net} = 0$ $\text{Step: Balance the torque about the point of suspension.}$ $\text{Let the distance of 80 N weight is placed at a distance of x from the other end.}$ $300 \times 0.5 + T \times 0 - 100 \times 0.5 - 80 \times (2 - x) = 0$ $x = 0.75 \text{ m}$
