⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch5  Problem Statement The uniform 62-kg pole of 150-mm diameter is hinged at A, and its lower end is immersed in fresh water. Determine the tension T in the vertical cable required to maintain C at a depth of 1 m. Problem 5/162 (a) Tension T in the vertical cable 1. Formula: First, we determine the geometry of the system. Let be the angle the pole makes with the horizontal. The total vertical height from the hinge to the end is: where is the height of above the water surface and is the depth of . The angle is found using: The submerged length is: The buoyancy force is: The weight of the pole is: Moment equilibrium about the hinge : where is the distance to the center of gravity and is the distance to the center of buoyancy along the pole. 2.
