| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[W_b = 1450 \times 9.8,\quad W_{block} = 80 \times 9.8\] | Compute the weights of the steel beam and the block using \(g=9.8\,\text{m/s}^2\). |
| 2 | \[d_b = \frac{6.6}{2} = 3.3\,\text{m},\quad d_{block} = 6.6 – 2 = 4.6\,\text{m}\] | The beam’s weight acts at its midpoint, and the block is placed 2 m from the free (cable) end so its distance from the wall is \(6.6-2=4.6\,\text{m}\). |
| 3 | \[T\sin(30^\circ)\times 6.6 = W_b\times3.3 + W_{block}\times4.6\] | Take moments about the wall. Only the vertical component of the cable’s tension produces a moment. The beam’s and block’s weights (acting downward) tend to rotate the beam clockwise, while the vertical component of the cable (acting upward) produces a counterclockwise moment. |
| 4 | \[T = \frac{W_b\times3.3 + W_{block}\times4.6}{6.6\sin(30^\circ)}\] | Solve the moment equation for the cable tension \(T\). |
| 5 | \[T = \frac{1450(9.8)(3.3) + 80(9.8)(4.6)}{6.6\times0.5}\] | Substitute the numerical values and use \(\sin(30^\circ)=0.5\). |
| 6 | \[T = \frac{(1450\times9.8\times3.3)+(80\times9.8\times4.6)}{3.3}\] | Simplify the denominator since \(6.6\times0.5 = 3.3\). |
| 7 | \[T \approx \frac{46893+3606.4}{3.3} \approx \frac{50499.4}{3.3} \approx 15303\,\text{N}\] | The numerator comes from \(1450\times9.8\times3.3\approx46893\,\text{N}\cdot\text{m}\) and \(80\times9.8\times4.6\approx3606.4\,\text{N}\cdot\text{m}\). Dividing by 3.3 gives the cable tension. |
| 8 | \[\boxed{T \approx 1.53 \times 10^{4}\,\text{N} \text{ (directed along the cable, }30^\circ\text{ above horizontal)}}\] | This is the force between the cable and the wall; the cable pulls on the wall along its length, at \(30^\circ\) above the horizontal. |
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[R_x = T\cos(30^\circ)\] | For horizontal equilibrium of the beam, the cable’s horizontal pull must be balanced by the wall’s horizontal reaction. |
| 2 | \[R_x \approx 15303\times0.866 \approx 13245\,\text{N}\] | Using \(\cos(30^\circ)\approx0.866\), calculate the horizontal component of the reaction force. |
| 3 | \[R_y = (W_b + W_{block}) – T\sin(30^\circ)\] | For vertical equilibrium the wall’s vertical reaction plus the cable’s vertical component must support the weights of the beam and block. |
| 4 | \[R_y = (1450\times9.8+80\times9.8) – 15303\times0.5\] | Substitute the values, recalling that \(1450+80=1530\) and \(\sin(30^\circ)=0.5\). |
| 5 | \[R_y \approx 1530\times9.8 – 7651.5 \approx 14994 – 7651.5 \approx 7342.5\,\text{N}\] | Compute the total weight, then subtract the cable’s vertical contribution to find the vertical reaction at the wall. |
| 6 | \[R = \sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2} \approx \sqrt{(13245)^2+(7342.5)^2} \approx 15152\,\text{N}\] | Combine the horizontal and vertical components to get the magnitude of the reaction force at the beam–wall contact. |
| 7 | \[\theta_R = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{R_y}{R_x}\right) \approx \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{7342.5}{13245}\right) \approx 29^\circ\] | Determine the angle of the reaction force relative to the horizontal. |
| 8 | \[\boxed{R \approx 1.52 \times 10^{4}\,\text{N} \text{ at }29^\circ \text{ above the horizontal}}\] | This is the net force between the steel beam and the wall. Its horizontal component balances the cable’s pull and its vertical component supports the beam and block. |

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
