3. Your leg is in a cast and must be kept elevated. If the leg now has a mass of 15 kg and the center of mass for the leg is 43 cm from your hip (the pivot point) then how much mass would need to hang off the traction device to keep the leg motionless if the mass attaches to the leg 65 cm from your hip? m

In exercise physiology studies, it is sometimes important to determine the location of a person's center of gravity. This can be done with the arrangement shown in the figure below. -2.00 m A light plank rests on two scales that read F 91 = 440 N and F 92 = 320 N. The scales are separated by a distance of 2.00 m. How far from the woman's feet is her center of gravity? m

91. A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings using a 15.0-m-long, 18.0-kg pole for balance (Figure 9-64). The daredevil grips the pole with each hand 0.600 m from the center of the pole. A 0.540-kg bird lands on the very end of the left-hand side of the pole. Assuming the daredevil applies forces with each hand in a direction perpendicular to the pole, how much force must each hand exert to counteract the torque of the bird? The + axis points in the walking direction, through the center of the pole. What are the directions of the torque vectors due to the bird, the left hand, and the right hand?
