A sign for a pizza restaurant hangs from a 2.60-m long rod extended out from a building. A cable, attached to the building, is attached to the rod at a point that is 2.10 m from the hidge. (See the figure.)The mass of the rod is 4.80 kg. The mass of the sign is 7.10 kg. The angle between the building and the rod is 50.0 degrees. The angle between the cable and the horizontal is 38.0 degrees. The tension in the cable is 90.27 N.What is the vertical component of the reaction force from then hinge on the rod?

A beam resting on two pivots has a length of L = 6.00 m and mass M = 77.0 kg. The pivot under the left end exerts a normal force n1 on the beam, and the second pivot placed a distance ℓ = 4.00 m from the left end exerts a normal force n2. A woman of mass m = 61.5 kg steps onto the left end of the beam and begins walking to the right as in the figure below. The goal is to find the woman's position when the beam begins to tip. (a) Use the force equation of equilibrium to find the value of n2 when the beam is about to tip.

Two children are trying to balance on a seesaw, which includes a fulcrum and a board that is 10m long. Boy A has a mass of 50kg, and boy B has a mass of 35kg. How far from the pivot point should boy B be to maintain stable equilibrium?
A 5.2-m ladder rests against a wall as shown. The ladder has a mass of 27.6 kg. A 56.3-kg person stands on the ladder at a distance of 3.6 m from the bottom of the ladder. The foot of the ladder is 1.9 m from the bottom of the wall. Assume there is no friction between the ladder and the wall so that the force of the wall on the ladder is acting only in the horizontal direction. However, there is a friction force between the ladder and the ground. 1.) What is the force, in N, exerted by the wall on the ladder?

Consider a teeter-totter that is made out of pine, shown below. A pineapple sits on one side of the teeter-totter, a distance 1.38 m from the pivot point, while an apple (non-pine) sits on the other side, a distance of 2.65 m from the pivot. If the pineapple has a mass 125 g, what must the mass of the apple be in order to balance the teeter-totter (i.e. to maintain rotational equilibrium)? [Answer in units of grams (g) with 3 sig figs but do not enter units with your answer]
