A fire truck ladder is 20 m long. The ladder has a weight of 5500 N and its center of gravity is located at its center. The ladder is pivoted at point A and is raised into position by a force applied at point C, which is located 8 m away from A. This force has magnitude 8000N and makes an angle of 40 degrees with the ladder. What is the magnitude of the net torque on the ladder about point A? (Hint: Originally, the ladder was resting on the support at point B. However, since the ladder is being raised, assume that point B no longer exerts any force on the ladder.) 12.0 m- 8.0 m 40° 5.9 kN.m 13.9 kN-m 96.1 kN·m 104 kN.m 2.8 kN·m

D1 Sign D2 A 2.40kg pole is attached to a wall with a hinge as shown. A 5.50kg sign is suspended at the other end of a pole, where D2 = 3.50m. A cable attached to the wall forms an angle a = 14.0° with the wall, and is attached to the pole a distance D = 1.60m from the hinge. Assume the origin is at the hinge. What is the torque on the pole due to the weight of the sign? 183 Nm
As a swimmer pulls his arm through the water, various muscles exert forces on the upper arm. The figure below shows a force F exerted on the humerus (upper arm bone) by the pectoral muscle. The muscle is connected to the bone d = 7.10 cm from the center point O of the shoulder joint. Find the magnitude of F, if this force's torque on the arm provides half of the total torque balancing the torque produced by the water pushing against the hand. (Let Fhand = 108 and D = 33.0 cm. ) please solve thank you
When a diver gets into a tuck position by pulling in her arms and legs, she increases her angular speed. Before she goes into the tuck position, her angular velocity is 5.5 rad/s and she has a moment of inertia of 1.7 kg · m². Once she gets into the tuck position, her angular speed is 15.1 rad/s. Determine her moment of inertia when she is in the tuck position. Assume the net torque on her is zero. kg · m2
The Achilles tendon inserts on the calcaneus (the heel bone) at a distance of 8 cm from the axis of the ankle joint. If the force generated by the muscles attached to the Achilles tendon is 3000 N, and the moment arm of this force about the ankle joint is 5 cm, what torque is created by these muscles about the ankle joint? Hopefully it’s enough torque to move out of the way so the arrow doesn’t shoot through the tendon.
