A 0.120kg, 50 cm long uniform bar has small 0.055 mass glued to its left end and small 0.110 kg mass glued to the other end. The two small masses can be treated as point masses. You want to balanced this system horizontally on a fulcrum placed just under its center of gravity. How far from the left end should the fulcrum be placed?

A meter stick is placed on a pivot at the 40cm mark. A mass of 0.25kg is placed on the 20cm mark to bring the system into static equilibrium. What is the mass of the meter stick?
A solid sphere, made of acrylic plastic with a density of 1.1 g/cm3,1.1 g/cm3, has a radius of 5.0 cm.5.0 cm. A very small "eyelet" is screwed into the surface of the sphere and a horizontal support rod is passed through the eyelet, allowing the sphere to pivot around this fixed axis, as shown in the figure. If the sphere is displaced slightly from equilibrium on the surface of Earth, determine the period ?T of its harmonic motion when it is released.

The diagram above shows a 3.00 m long uniform beam. The left end of the beam is attached to a wall by a frictionless pivot. The beam is supported by a string that keeps the beam horizontal. The string makes an angle of 35.0° relative to vertical. The beam has a mass of 7.00 kg. A 2.00 kg mass is located at the end of the beam. A 6.00 kg mass is located 1.00 m from the 2.00 kg mass, as shown in the diagram. a. What is the tension in the string? b. What is the y-component of force applied to the beam by the pivot?
A balance has a 5.0kg object at 0.5m from the fulcrum, and a 20.0kg object a certain ways in the opposite direction from the fulcrum. Where would the 20.0kg object need to be for the system to be balanced? Suppose you placed the 20.0kg object at 0.5m away from the fulcrum in the opposite direction of the 5.0kg object. This would result in an unbalanced system. Where could you then place a 10kg object to rebalance the system?

The crew on peg leg Petes' ship have mutinied. Now Pete finds himself walking the plank. The plank is 4.5m long and has a mass of 13kg. 3.6 meters of the plank extend out over the waters. The plank pivots on a small rail at the edge of the ship, this is the only point of the plank in direct contact with the ship. The remaining meter of the plank is held in place over the deck by the metal bar. The bar is .6m from the pivot. If Pete has a mass of 111kg, what is the torque provided by the bar when Pete is at the end of the plank?
A 1.90-m-long barbell has a 24.0 kg weight on its left end and a 32.0 kg weight on its right end. Where is the center of gravity if the 9.00 kg mass of the barbell itself is taken into account?
A seesaw is a flat board that is balanced on a fulcrum (point of balance). When the weight at either end is equal, the seesaw is balanced and both ends are at the same height. When weight is added to either side, the balance will tilt in that direction. To prevent the balance from tipping, the location of the fulcrum must be moved to accommodate the difference in weights placed on each end. A playground equipment company wants to produce a seesaw that will be perfectly balanced when an adult and a child are on either end. The company estimates that an adult, on average, weighs four times as much as a child. The length of the seesaw is 10 feet. C A { 01 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
