A 5.2-kg bowling ball rests on a uniform beam of length I and mass M, as in the figure. The beam is supported at two points separated by a distance BL where ß = 0.55 and the bowling ball is a distance d from support point 1. Find the largest distance dmax such that the beam does not tip if M = 15 kg and L = 4.6 m. [Note: To keep the bowling ball on the beam, report an answer of dmax ≤ L. For some values, a correct calculation gives dmax > L. That means the bowling ball can be placed anywhere on the beam without tipping and, in that case, the correct answer is dmax = L = 4.6 m.) dmax 2 k m L -BL- d M

A 45.5‑kg box with the dimensions a×b (the width a = 0.6 m and height b = 1.3 m) is standing on a rough horizontal floor (μs = 1.3). A Professor wants to tip the box over, she pushes on the right side of the box with a horizontal force F = 140 N at a distance h = 1.04 m above the floor as shown in the picture below. The other forces acting on the box are the gravity force (applied to the CoM of the box), the static friction force Fs and the normal force N (both applied to the lower right corner of the box, point Q). Calculate the magnitude and direction of the torques produced by the forces acting on the box relative to the lower right corner (point Q). Assume uniform mass distribution. 1. The torque due to the external force, τQ(due to F) = 2. The torque due to the weight of the box, τQ(due to mg) = 3. The torque due to the friction force, τQ(due to Fs) = 4. The torque due to the normal force, τQ(due to N) =
The figure shows a 4.20-kg, 1.80-m-long rod hinged to a vertical wall and supported by a thin wire. The wire and rod each make angles of 45° with the vertical. When a 10.0-kg block is suspended from the midpoint of the rod, the tension T in the supporting wire is 49.3 N. The wire will break when the tension exceeds 75.0 N. 45° 45° T 10kg Tipler & Mosca, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 6e © 2008 W.H.

The bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) are hinged to the humerus at the elbow. The biceps muscle connects to the bones of the forearm about 2.15 cm beyond the joint. Assume the forearm has a mass of 2.35 kg and a length of 0.445 m. When the humerus and the biceps are nearly vertical and the forearm is horizontal, if a person wishes to hold an object of mass 6.15 kg so that her forearm remains motionless, what is the force exerted by the biceps muscle

A beam rests on a fulcrum, 2.3 meters from one end. A weight of 444 kg is suspended from this end causing the beam to balance. If the weight of 444 is suspended on the opposite end of the beam, it is necessary to suspend a 2733 kg weight on the first end in order to effect an even balance. Use g = 9.81 m/s2. Find the length of the beam.

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?
