Question: A Bar Suspended by Two Vertical Strings
The figure (figure 1) shows a model of a crane that may be mounted on a truck.a rigid uniform horizontal bar of mass m1 = 95.00kg and length l = 5.400m is supported by two vertical massless strings. string a is attached at a distance d = 1.100m 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 = 3500kg is supported by the crane at a distance x = 5.200m from the left end of the bar.
Find TA, the tension in string A.
Find TB, the magnitude of the tension in string B.
