A chandelier of mass m = 200 kg is hanging in 4 wires of equal length. The wires are attached on the corners of a square in the ceiling. The distance betwen each attachment point is L = 4 m. The chandelier is suspended a length h below the ceiling.

a) Draw a free body diagram of the chandelier

b) Find the expression of the wire tension if the ball is not moving

c) The wires can sustain a maximum tension of 10 000N. How far down can the chandelier be suspended?

A wooden plank of length L and mass M is hanging vertically attached to the ceiling by a frictionless hinge. The plank is in equilibrium, when struck by a bullet of mass m that has velocity given by the equation below. The bullet hits the plank at a distance D (D< L) from the ceiling and remains stuck in the plank. ~v = vxˆi + vyˆj -> velocity of the bullet. a) What is the angular acceleration of the plank...

A small ball of clay of mass m hangs from a string of length L (the other end of which is fixed). A seond ball of clay of mass m/3 is to be launched horizontally out of a spring with spring constant k. Once launched, the second ball will collide with and stick to the hanging ball, and they'll follow a circular path around the fixed end of the string. A) Determine an expression for the distance (change in x)...

pendulum of mass m= 0.8 kg and length l=1 m is hanging from the ceiling. The massless string of the pendulum is attached at point P. The bob of the pendulum is a uniform shell (very thin hollow sphere) of radius r=0.4 m, and the length l of the pendulum is measured from the center of the bob. A spring with spring constant k= 7 N/m is attached to the bob (center). The spring is relaxed when the bob is...
