Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

A homeowner is trying to move a stubborn rock from his yard. By using a a metal rod as a lever arm and a fulcrum (or pivot point) the homeowner will have a better chance of moving the rock. The homeowner places the fulcrum a distance ?=0.288 mfrom the rock, which has a mass of 465 kg, and fits one end of the rod under the rock's center of weight. If the homeowner can apply a maximum force of 671 N at the other end of the rod, what is the minimum total length ? of the rod required to move the rock? Assume that the rod is massless and nearly horizontal so that the weight of the rock and homeowner's force are both essentially vertical. The acceleration due to gravity is ?=9.81 m/s2.
+ A uniform ladder stands on a rough floor and rests against a frictionless wall as shown in the figure. Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a normal force N, and a frictional forcef, on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force N₂ on the ladder. The ladder has a length of L = 4.2 m, a weight of W, = 66.5 N, and rests against the wall a distance d = 3.75 m above the floor.

Each of these three wires has the tension on it. For this problem, assume that the force exerted by these wires is purely horizontal. An additional guy wire is used to keep the pole upright with a tension of Fa = 490 N. The guy wire attaches to the post at a point h = 0.86 m above the ground and makes an angle of θ = 45 with respect to the horizontal. Write an expression for the tension in any one of the three fence wires. What is the normal force that the ground exerts upward on the post?
