Two window washers, Bob and Joe, are on a 3.00-m-long, 350-N scaffold supported by two cables attached to its ends. Bob weighs 780 N and stands 1.00 m from the left end, as shown in the figure below. Two meters from the left end is the 500-N washing equipment. Joe is 0.500 m from the right end and weighs 900 N. Given that the scaffold is in rotational and translational equilibrium, what are the forces on each cable? left cable _____ kN right cable _____kN Two window washers, Bob and Joe, stand on a scaffold. The scaffold is 3.00 m long and is supported by two cables with one on each end. Bob stands 1.00 m from the left end of the scaffold. The bucket is 2.00 m from the left end of the scaffold and Joe stands 0.500 m from the right of the scaffold.
A uniform drawbridge must be held at a 37° angle abovethe horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weighs45,000 N and is 14.0 m long. A cable is connected 3.5 m from thehinge where the bridge pivots (measured along the bridge) and pullshorizontally on the bridge to hold it in place. What is the angular speed of the drawbridge as it becomes horizontal?

One end of a meter stick is pinned to a table, so the stick can rotate freely in a plane parallel to the tabletop. Two forces, both parallel to the tabletop, are applied to the stick in such a way that the net torque is zero. The first force has a magnitude of 2.00 N and is applied perpendicular to the length of the stick at the free end. The second force has a magnitude of 6.00 N and acts at a 36.1o angle with respect to the length of the stick. Where along the stick is the 6.00-N force applied? Express this distance with respect to the end of the stick that is pinned.
Alex (30 kg) and Cassie (25 kg) sit on a 6 metre-long see-saw at the local park. The pivot of the see- saw is in the middle of its length. If Cassie sits at one end of the see-saw, where relative to the other end must Alex sit so the net torque is balanced? (Units: metres)
A horizontal, uniform, 8.00-kg, stationary, solid disk with a radius of 80.0 cm is pivoted at its center such that the plane of the disk is parallel to level ground.
