Two vertical cables suspend a 354-N, 1.94-m uniform bar at each end. Cable A can support a maximum tension of 513 N without breaking, and cable B can support up to 351 N. If you want to put a heavy weight on this bar, where should you position it respect to cable A such that the cables and the bar do not break? Express your answer in meters and in two decimal places.

A uniform horizontal strut weighs 400.0 N. One end of the strut is attached to a hinged support the wall and the other end of the strut is attached to a sign that weighs 200.0 N The strut is also supported by a cable attached between the end of the strut and the wall. Assuming that the entire weight of the sign is attached at the very end of the s find the tension in the cable and the force at the hinge of the strut.

A uniform drawbridge must be held at a 38o angle above the horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weights 55000 N and is 15.0 m long. A cable is connected 3.5 m from the hinge where the bridge pivots (measured along the bridge) and pulls horizontally on the bridge to hold it in place. What is the tension in the cable?
