A heavy block of a mass of M = 71 kg is attached to the left end of a horizontal beam (beam's mass m = 11.6 kg and length b = 2.3 m). The beam is attached to the ceiling with the help of two vertical rods: the first rod is attached at the right end of the beam, the second one at a distance a = 0.46 m form the right end of the beam, see the picture below. Find the y‑component of the tension force in each rod. Note: do not forget to include the weight of the beam. 1. What is the tension of the first rod? 2. What is the tension of the second rod?

Create a simple balance using a ruler as the balance beam and a pencil as the fulcrum. Put 2 nickels stacked together on one side of the ruler and a single nickel on the other side so that the ruler is balanced. Does the distance from the fulcrum to the 2 nickels = 1/2 the distance to the single nickel? How would you account for any discrepancy?

A traffic light hangs from a 7.2-m long beam (AB) that is attached to a pole by a hinge (A), as shown. A horizontal (massless) cable (CD) supports the beam, making a 37° angle. The cable is attached to the pole 3.8 m above the hinge. The mass of the beam is 12 kg, and the mass of the traffic light is 22 kg. What is the tension in the cable? Also, the hinge exerts a force— with both horizontal and vertical components— on the beam. Find the magnitude of this force.

Question: A paddle for a boat is constructed of a stick of length L and a parabolic end piece. The end can be thought of as a uniform flat board of mass m that has been cut to form a parabola given by y = x^2, so that the length from the trough (i.e., the y = 0 point of the parabola) to the end of the parabola is H. To simplify this a little, assume that the stick is massless. This paddle is stood vertically upward on the stick end and attached to a hinge on the floor so that it is free to rotate in the in/out of the page direction. When it is standing straight up that is an unstable equilibrium. A very small infinitesimal push is given to get the paddle moving and it swings downward under gravity (acceleration g). NOTE: the diagram for this question is included in the image attached!(a) When the paddle is standing vertically upward, what is the position of the center of mass of the paddle?(b) What is the moment of inertia of the paddle for rotations in/out of the page about an axis…
