A uniform plank of length 5.05m and mass 32.4kg rests horizontally across two horizontal bars of a scaffold. The bars are 3.80m apart, and 1.25m of the plank hangs over one side of the scaffold. How far can a painter of mass 73.4kg walk on the overhanging part of the plank before it tips?
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
