Q 1 :    

A heavy iron bar, of weight W is having its one end on the ground and the other on the shoulder of a person. The bar makes an angle θ with the horizontal. The weight experienced by the person is _____.      [2024]

  • W2

     

  • W

     

  • W cos θ

     

  • W sin θ

     

(1)

NB=net reaction force by shoulder.

Balancing torque about point of contact (A) on ground:

W(L2cosθ)=NB(Lcosθ)

NB=W2



Q 2 :    

A heavy iron bar of weight 12 kg is having its one end on the ground and the other on the shoulder of a man. The rod makes an angle 60° with the horizontal, the weight experienced by the man is _____.    [2024]

  • 6 kg

     

  • 12 kg

     

  • 3 kg

     

  • 63 kg

     

(3)

Torque about O=0

120(L2cos60°)-N2L=0

N2=30N
