A heavy iron rod of weight 'W' is having its one end on the ground and the other on the shoulder of a man. The rod makes an angle `'theta'` with the horizontal. What is the weight experienced by the man ?

A

W `sintheta`

B

W`costheta`

C

W

D

`(W)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The weight acts at the middle of the bar.So the weight experienced by the man is `W/2`

In a children's park a heavy rod is pivoted at the centre and is made to rotate about the pivot so that the rod always remains horizontal. Two kids hold the rod near the ends and thus rotate with the rod figure. Let the mas of each kid be 15 kg, the distance between the points of the rod where the two kids hold it be 3.0 m and suppose that the rod rotates at the rate of 20 revolutions per minute. Find the force of friction exerted by the rod on one of the kids.

A light rope fixed at one end of a wooden clamp on the ground passes over a tree branch and hangs on the other side. It makes an angle of 30^0 with the ground.
