Problem
4.
The number “4”, shown in Figure 2, is a rigid framework made from three uniform rods, AB, BC and CD, where
AB=6a,BC=5aandCD=4a
The point E is on AB and CD, where BE=4a, CE=3a and angle CEB=90∘
The three rods are all made from the same material and they all lie in the same plane.
The framework is suspended from B and hangs in equilibrium with BA at an angle θ to the downward vertical.
Find θ to the nearest degree.

图 2 所示的数字“4”是由三根均匀杆 AB、BC 和 CD 组成的刚性框架,其中
AB=6a,BC=5a,CD=4a
E 点位于 AB 和 CD 上,其中 BE=4a,CE=3a,∠CEB=90∘。
三根杆均由同一种材料制成,且位于同一个平面内。
框架从 B 悬挂,平衡时 BA 与竖直向下方向成 θ 角。
求 θ,精确到最接近的整数度。

三根均匀杆的质量比等于长度比。以悬挂点 B 为原点,在原图中向左为 x、沿 BA 向下为 y;分别求组合重心的两个坐标,悬挂后 BG 为竖直线。

Let the masses of rods AB, BC and CD be 6m, 5m and 4m respectively. Measure x leftwards from AB and y downwards from B in the original diagram.
The rods’ midpoints have coordinates
AB:(0,3a),BC:(23a,2a),
CD:(a,4a).
For the centre of mass G=(xˉ,yˉ), taking first moments gives
15mxˉ=xˉ=6m(0)+5m23a+4m(a),3023a,
15myˉ=yˉ=6m(3a)+5m(2a)+4m(4a),1544a.
When the framework hangs in equilibrium, G is vertically below B. Thus the angle between BA and the downward vertical is the angle between BA and BG in the original diagram. Hence
tanθ=yˉxˉ=44a/1523a/30=8823.
Therefore
θ=14.647…∘=15∘
to the nearest degree.
