5. A uniform rod 4-kg in mass and 5-m in length is balanced on a triangular pivot that is 2-m from the left-end of the rod. Two masses are then hung on the rod: a 12-kg block that is on the left-end of the rod; and a 4- kg block that is on the right-end of the rod. Where should and additional 5-kg mass be placed to balance out the system as shown below? 5-m long rod; 4-kg in mass 12-kg 2-m x=? 3-m 4-kg 5-kg

Review. A mixing beater consists of three thin rods, each 10.0 cm long. The rods diverge from a central hub, separated from each other by 120, and all turn in the same plane. A ball is attached to the end of each rod. Each ball has cross-sectional area 4.00 cm2 and is so shaped that it has a drag coefficient of 0.600. Calculate the power input required to spin the beater at 1 000 rev/min (a) in air and (b) in water.
In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
A person balances a meterstick in a horizontal position on the extended index fingers of her right and left hands. She slowly brings the two fingers together. The stick remains balanced, and the two fingers always meet at the 50-cm mark regardless of their original positions. (Try it!) Explain why that occurs.
Calculate the back extensor force (Fm) required to keep the trunk in the static position as shown. Calculate the bone compressive force acting on the lumbar vertebra. Calculate the bone shear force acting on the lumbar vertebra. The weight of the trunk (Wtrunk) is 500 N, and it has a moment arm of 0.10 m. The weight of the arms (Warms) is 50 N, and it has a moment arm of 0.50 m. The horizontal force from the wall (Fwall-x) is 25 N, and it has a moment arm of 0.25 m. The vertical force from the wall (Fwall-y) is 50 N, and it has a moment arm of 0.75 m. The weight of the backpack (Wpack) is 25 N, and it has a moment arm of 0.15 m. The back extensor muscle has a moment arm of 0.05 m.

2. A uniform 300-kg beam, 6.00 m long, is freely pivoted at P, as shown in the figure. The beam is supported in a horizontal position by a light strut, 5.00 m long, which is freely pivoted at Q and is loosely pinned to the beam at R. A load of mass is suspended from the end of the beam at S. A maximum compression of 23,000 N in the strut is permitted, due to safety. The maximum mass M of the load is closest to A. 554 kg. B789 kg.

Q10a The 9.75 m long beam is simply supported at A and B as shown below with a uniformly distributed load (UDL) between A and C of 4.75 kN/m and a concentrated point load of 12.50 kN at point D (i.e., midpoint between C & B). Determine the reaction force RA acting at A in kilonewtons (kN). Assume the beam is weightless and give your answer in kilonewtons (kN) to 2 decimal places. 12.50 kN 4.75 kN/m 1.125 m A 7.50 m 2.25 m C B Answer:

The uniform seesaw shown below is balanced on a fulcrum located 4.0 m from the left end. The smaller boy on the right has a mass of 36 kg and the bigger boy on the left has a mass of 81 kg. What is the mass of the board (in kg)?
A meter stick is balanced at its center. If a 3 kg mass is suspended at x=0 m, where would you need to place a mass of 5 kg to have the system in equilibrium? Note: The meter stick goes from 0 m to 1 m; therefore its center is at the 0.5 m mark. (It is based on this lab https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/balancing-act/latest/balancing-act_en.html)
An exhaust system for a pickup truck is shown in the figure. The weights Wh, Wm, and W; of the head-pipe, muffler, and tailpipe are 9, 86, and 41 N, respectively, and act at the indicated points. If the exhaust-pipe hanger at point A is adjusted so that its tensions Fa is 62 N, determine the required forces in the hangers at points B, C, and D so that the force-couple system at point O is zero. Why is a zero force-couple system at O desirable? Fc FD FA FB 22° 22° c D B WmY r = 0,40 WAY F1.4-1.2 -0.50 0.50-0.40.3- Dimensions in meters Answers: FR = Fc = Fo N
