A homogeneous, 10 m-long beam has a total weight of 80N and is divided to 10 equal segments. Object 1 on the beam has a weight of 40 N and is placed 2 m away from the wall. Object 2 has a weight of 20 N and is 9 m away from the wall. If a wire attached to the beam at a point 8 m away from the wall keeps the system in equilibrium as shown in the figure, what is the tension of the wire?

A ladder, mass 50kg, 6m long is leaning so that it makes a 20° angle with a smooth wall. A student wants to climb the ladder so that his centre of mass will be 2/3rd of the way up. If the students mass is 100kg find the normal force from the wall. Will this much force from the wall cause the ladder to slip sideways if the coefficient of static friction at the floor is 1.0?

You have been hired to design a family-friendly see-saw. Your design will feature a uniform board (mass M = 10 kg, length L = 3.4 m) that can be moved so that the pivot is a distance d from the center of the board. This will allow riders to achieve static equilibrium even if they are of different mass, as most people are. You have decided that each rider will be positioned so that his/her center of mass will be a distance xoffset = 14 cm from the end of the board when seated as shown.You have selected a child of mass m1 = 29 kg (shown on the right), and an adult of mass m2 = 71 kg (shown on the left) to test out your prototype. Determine the distance d in meters. Determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the pivot point by the see-saw while in use in newtons.

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.

A tightrope walker walks across a 30-m long wire tied between two poles. The center of the wire is displaced vertically downward by 1.0 m when he is halfway across. If the tension in both halves of the wire at this point is 6294 N, what is the mass of the tightrope walker? Neglect the mass of the wire.
