You have a summer job working downtown washing windows on skyscrapers (the pay is great and so are the medical benefits). The platform you and your partner are using to get to the windows is a meter wide and four meters long. You know from hauling the platform out of your truck countless times that it has a mass of 70 kg. It is supported by two cables, one at each end, mounted on-center to prevent the platform from tipping over as it is pulled up the side of the building at a constant speed. If you (mass of 55 kg) are standing on the platform 1 meter from one cable while your partner (mass of 87 kg) is 1.3 meters from the other cable and both of you are half a meter from the side, what is the tension in each cable? Assume the platform has a uniform mass distribution and is of negligible thickness.
John is pushing his daughter Rachel in a wheelbarrow when it is stopped by a brick 8.00 cm high (see the figure below). The handles make an angle of 0 = 20.0° with the ground. Due to the weight of Rachel and the wheelbarrow, a downward force of 407 N is exerted at the center of the wheel, which has a radius of 18.0 cm. Assume the brick remains fixed and does not slide along the ground. Also assume the force applied by John is directed exactly toward the center of the wheel. (Choose the positive x-axis to be pointing to the right.) & (a) What force (in N) must John apply along the handles to just start the wheel over the brick? 1690.53 X Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. N (b) What is the force (magnitude in kN and direction in degrees clockwise from the -x-axis) that the brick exerts on the wheel just as the wheel begins to lift over the brick? magnitude KN direction ° clockwise from the -x-axis

A meter stick (a uniform thin rod of length 1.0 m and mass 0.39 kg) is placed on a fulcrum at the 54 cm mark, about which the meter stick can pivot. At what position (measured from the 0 cm end of the meter stick) should a 0.22 kg mass be hung to balance the system? Give your answer in cm, rounded to the nearest cm.
A board of mass 3.0Kg serves as a seesaw for two children. Child A has a mass of 40Kg and sits 2.5m from the pivot point. At what distance x should a child B of mass 25Kg sit from the pivot point so as to balance the seesaw? What is the normal force at the pivot point? Assume the board is uniform and centered over the pivot.
A mixing beater consists of three thin rods, each 10.6 cm long. The rods diverge from a central hub, separated from each other by 120°, and all turn in the same plane. A ball is attached to the end of each rod. Each ball has cross-sectional area 4.20 cm? and is so shaped that it has a drag coefficient of 0.620. The drag force on each ball is R = Dp A v2 where D is the drag coefficient, p the density of the fluid, A the cross-sectional area, and v the speed of the object moving through the fluid. (a) Calculate the power input required to spin the beater at 1000 rev/min in water. w (b) The beater is taken out of the water and held in air. If the input power remains the same (it wouldn't, but if it did), what would be the new rotation speed? rev/min
An object can rotate but not exhibit no angular acceleration and no linear or translational acceleration. Such an object is in both translational and rotational equilibrium. What are the conditions for the object to be in static equilibrium? A vaulter holds a 29.4 -N pole in equilibrium by exerting an upward force U with her leading hand and a downward force D with her trailing hand as shown. Point C is the center of gravity of the pole where the 29.4 N acts. Determine: The magnitude of U The magnitude of D

A solid uniform 45-kg ball of diameter 32.0 cm is supported against a vertical, frictionless wall with a string of length 30.0 cm as shown below. Find the tension in the string.
We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque. Suppose a tree’s canopy presents an area of 9.0 m2 to the wind centered at a height of 7.0 m above the ground. (These are reasonable values for forest trees.) If the wind blows at 6.5 m/s: a. What is the magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy? Assume a drag coefficient of 0.50.b. What torque does this force exert on the tree, measured about the point where the trunk meets the ground?
A 13.6 kg. 3.6 m long seesaw bar (assume that the bar is uniform) is perfectly balanced upon a support that is 0.2 m to the left of its center. There is a 6.5 kg block sitting on the far right side of the seesaw. How large of a mass do we need to place on the far left of the seesaw for it to be balanced?
When a person stands on tiptoe (a strenuous position), the position of the foot is as shown in Figure a. The total gravitational force on the body, F, is supported by the force g' n exerted by the floor on the toes of one foot. A mechanical model of the situation is shown in Figure b, where T is the force exerted by the Achilles tendon on the foot and R is the force exerted by the tibia on the foot. Find the values of T, R, and 0 when F = n = 780 N. (For 0, enter the smaller of the two possible values between 0° and 90°.) -Achilles tendon Tibia 15.0° 18.0 cm 25.0 cm b T = R =
