When we solve for the tension of the rope BC, we found out that this force is equal to zero. In other words, the rope BC is technically doing nothing to our system. :) I hope that clarifies your question!

(I did this problem years ago, so it is not fresh on mind, however, there is a distance at point B from the x-axis and BC would have a y-component, therefore, a z moment would be created... similarly with the x-component of BC and y distance from point B.)
Thank you buddy. It is really helpful
This has been a huge help. Thank you for creating this video!
Thank you from India 🇮🇳 🙏
thanks man! just helped me make a 100 on a quiz. really appreciate it
We like those 100s.
Wait, I'm confused, how is there not an y force from tension BC?
Hello David, when we did the sum of all forces in the X direction we realized that the tension BC is 0 in all directions.
So BC is just to “throw you off”?
@@talynjones2552 in this case. Some people have different variations of this problem.
does the rope bc not create a rotation about the z axis?

@@LearningbyTeaching If it was not equal to zero, would it create a rotation around the z-axis?
