Question
Ch 09 HW A Bar Suspended by Two Vertical Strings 90f 15 Find TA, the tension in string A. Express your answer in newtons using three significant figures. View Available Hin(s) The figure (Figure 1) shows a model of a crane that may be mounted on a truck.A rigid uniform horizontal bar of mass m 1 = 80.0 kg and length 5.50 m is supported by two vertical massless strings. String A is attached at a distance d 1.30 m from the left end of the bar and is connected to the top plate. String B is attached to the left end of the bar and is connected to the floor. An object of mass m2 = 2500 kg is supported by the crane at a distance z = 5.30 m from the left end of the bar. Throughout this problem, positive torque is counterclockwise and use 9.80 m/s2 for the maanitude Submit Figure 1 of 1 Part B Find Ts, the magnitude of the tension in string B Express your answer in newtons using three significant figures.

Using equilibrium of torque about P
TA (PQ) = (m1 g) (PR) + m2g (PS)
TA (d) = (m1 g) (L/2) + m2g (x)
inserting the values
TA (1.30) = (80 x 9.8) (5.50/2) + (2500 x 9.8) (5.30)
TA = 1.02 x 105 N
B)
using equilbrium of force
TA = TB + m1 g + m2 g
1.02 x 105 = TB + (80 + 2500) (9.8)
TB = 0.77 x 105 N
