There is only one version of this question that you have access to.

There are 3 other versions that do you not have access to.

Question statement

{geogebra_applet('yjqkjgp9',["A": A, "C": C, "theta": theta +"°"])}

{L} long rigid beam $ABC$ pivots on a frictionless pin at $B$ . Segment $AB$ is {AB} long.

Give any introductory information the student needs.

			Name	Type	Generated Value

L	quantity	quantity(11, "ft")
AB	quantity	quantity(7, "ft")
BC	quantity	quantity(4, "ft")
FC	quantity	quantity(222.1245713500067289102253014588766844525, "lbs")

			Name	Type	Generated Value

A	vector	vector(-7,0)
C	vector	vector(4,0)
theta	integer	80
FA	quantity	quantity(125, "lbs")

Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Determine the magnitude of force $\mathbf{C}$ required for rotational equilibrium if the magnitude of force $\mathbf{A}$ is {FA}.

$C=$ $C$

Advice

Given:

$d_1 = \var{AB}, d_2 = L - d_1 = \var{L-AB}, $

$A = \var{FA}, \theta = \var{if(theta < 90, theta, 180-theta)}° $

For rotational equilibrium:

$\sum M_B = 0$

$A \; d_1 = C \sin \theta \; d_2$

$C = \dfrac{A d_1}{d_2 \sin \theta} = \var{siground(FC,5)}$

Give a worked solution to the whole question.
