Randall D. Knight β Rotation of a Rigid Body: Problem 22
A steel beam is 5 m long with a mass of 400 kg. It extends horizontally from the point where it has been bolted to the framework of a new building under construction. A construction worker of mass 80 kg stands at the far end of the beam. What is the magnitude of the torque about the bolt due to the worker and the weight of the beam?
π Solution Approach
Given: 5 m, 400 kg, . A, 80 kg
