A 94.5 kg window-washer is working on a uniform plank of 132 kg and length 16.3 m is supported at each end by vertical ropes. The window washer moves to a point 1.75 m from the left end. What is the ratio of the tension in the left end to the tension in the right end? (Use g = 10 m/s2, as needed. Do not enter units in answer.)

A worker of weight 772.7 kg stands on the end of a beam of weight 1693 N and length L= 119.7 m, supported on a pivot. The beam's center of mass is at its center. W is the weight of a counterweight needed to hold the beam in equilibrium. Determine the counterweight W (in N) if the distance between the counterweight and the fulcrum is x= 27.5 m. Answer:
L = 2.0 m A diver with a mass of 43 kg is standing 1.3 m from the left end of a diving board. This diving board has a mass of 83 kg and a length of 2 meters. It is supported by a pillar that is 0.5 m from the left end (labeled F, in the figure) and a bolt that holds the left end down (labeled F2 in the figure). What is the magnitude of the force from the pillar, labeled F1. F = What is the magnitude of the force from the end of the board, labeled F2. F2 = What position could the diver stand at to make both F, and F2 a minimum? 3:45 PM
A uniform beam of length L = 11.7 meters and mass of 109.3 kg is pinned at one end and is being supported by a wire as shown. The wire is connected to the beam x = 3.3 meters from the pin. A person of mass 81.6 kg is standing all the way out on the edge of the beam. If θ = 17.3 degrees and φ = 79.4 degrees, what is the tension in the wire?
A beam with length of 2 m and a mass of 10 kg supports a 50 kg box. The beam is connected to a wall by a hinge at its base and a horizontal wire. The wire is connected to the beam 1.5 m from the hinge and makes an angle θ of 35o to the beam. The goal is to find the tension in the wire and the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the hinge on the board. Suppose the maximum tension that the wire can withstand is 1500 N. What is the maximum load that the hinge can support before the wire breaks?
I need help with problem over Rotational Kinectic (Equilibrium).. A window washer weighing 825.6 N is standing on a scaffold supported by a vertical rope at each end. The scaffold weighs 262.5 N and is 4.034 m long. What is the force in each rope when the window washer stands 1.48 m from one end? Force in Rope 1 (Rope closest to the window washer.) = Force in Rope 2 (Rope farthest from the window washer.) =
A hiker, who weighs 659 N, is strolling through the woods and crosses a small horizontal bridge. The bridge is uniform, weighs 4280 N, and rests on two concrete supports, one on each end. He stops 1/5 of the way along the bridge. What is the magnitude of the force that a concrete support exerts on the bridge (a) at the near end and (b) at the far end?
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.

В 2. A 2.4 m ladder rests on a vertical wall as shown in the figure. The ladder has seven rungs and the rungs are spaced 0.30 m apart, and the top and bottom rungs are 0.30 m from their respective ends of the ladder. Surfaces at A and B both have the same coefficient of friction. If a worker weighs 630N and stands on the middle rung, determine the minimum value of the coefficient of friction so that the ladder does not slide. Neglect the weight of the ladder. ,0=60° A
A 45.1 kg man is walking on a 147 kg uniform beam that is attached 19.0 m below the top of a building and is 21.2 m long. If a wire is attached to both the top of the building and end of the beam, and is able to handle 1.52E3 N of tension, how close to the end can the man walk before the wire breaks?
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.
