Equilibrium: A 100-kg nonuniform boom that is 6.0 m long is loosely pinned at the pivot at P. A 600-kg concrete block is suspended from the end of the boom at A, as shown in the figure. The boom forms a 30° angle above the horizontal, and is supported by a 4.0-m cable between points D and B. Point B is 4.0 m from P, and point D is 4.0 m above P. The center of mass of the boom is at point C, which is 2.0 m from P. Assume that all the quantities shown in the figure are accurate to two significant figures. What is the tension in the cable connected between points B and D?
A. 9300 N
B. 8400 N
C. 8100 N
D. 7500 N
E. 6900 N

A charged particle moving perpendicular to a magnetic field has a magnet force on it. But when an observer moves with the particle, so that the particle has a relative velocity of zero with respect to the observer, one would expect there would be no magnetic force. Yet there is still a force. If it is not a magnetic force, then what is the source of this force?
a. It is an electrical force. b. It is due to the ether. c. It is a gravitational force. d. It is something other than any of the above.
