Billy and Bob are standing on a plank that is 9.00 m long and has mass 300.0 kg, that has supports at the 2.00 m and 5.00 m marks. Billy has mass 50.0 kg and is standing on the far left side, while Bob has mass 60.0 kg and is walking toward the far right side from 5.00 m mark. Will he make it all the way to the end without tipping the plank? If not, how far will he make it? O Yes O No; 1.33 m O No; 0.833 m O No; 3.93 m

To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places a 6.00 m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against the plastic rain gutter which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2.00 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3.00 m from the bottom. What are the magnitudes of the forces on the ladder at the top and bottom?
The meterstick shown is 100 cm long. It is free to pivot around its center of gravity (CG), which is at the 50 cm mark. There is a 24.0 N block hanging from the 80 cm mark. Decide where each of the other blocks should be placed, one at a time, to balance out the 24.0 N block. At what mark on the meter stick would you place a 19.0 N block to balance the 24.0 N block? mark: At what mark on the meter stick would you place a 44.0 N block to balance the 24.0 N block? mark:
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?
A pirate demands that his 75 kg prisoner “walk the plank”. The prisoner walks out on an 8.0 m long, 50 kg horizontal board that juts out from the side of the pirate ship. If he walks out and stands 7.5 m from the place where the board is connected to the ship’s side, what is the net torque applied to the board?
To get up on the roof, a person (mass 62.0 kg) places a 6.80 m aluminum ladder (mass 11.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The top of the ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2.00 m from the base, as measured along the ladder. The person is standing on the ladder 3.00 m from the base, as measured along the ladder. Find the normal reaction and friction forces (in N) on the ladder at its base.

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) =
Consider a teeter-totter that is made out of pine, shown below. A pineapple sits on one side of the teeter-totter, a distance 1.09 m from the pivot point, while an apple (non-pine) sits on the other side, a distance of 2.63 m from the pivot. If the pineapple has a mass 132 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]
The bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) are hinged to the humerus at the elbow. The biceps muscle connects to the bones of the forearm about 2.15 cm beyond the joint. Assume the forearm has a mass of 2.35 kg and a length of 0.445 m. When the humerus and the biceps are nearly vertical and the forearm is horizontal, if a person wishes to hold an object of mass 6.15 kg so that her forearm remains motionless, what is the force F exerted by the biceps muscle? 5 Humerus. F= Elbow. Biceps muscle Radius Ulna Hand N
You’re carrying a 3.6-m-long, 25 kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pole on a fence post and hold the other end of the pole 35 cm from its tip. How much force must you exert to keep the pole motionless in a horizontal position?
Two kids are playing on a seesaw on the school playground. The first kid (of mass 50 kg) sits 2 meters from the fulcrum. The other child (who has a mass of 70 kg) sits on the other side of the seesaw. How far away from the fulcrum does the second child need to sit in order to balance the seesaw? Assume that the seesaw itself is weightless. O 0.79 m O 1.43 m O 1.03 m O 2.24 m
The meterstick shown is 100 cm long. It is free to pivot around its center of gravity (CG), which is at the 50 cm mark. There is a 25.0 N block hanging from the 80 cm mark. Decide where each of the other blocks should be placed, one at a time, to balance out the 25.0 N block.
A wooden plank of length 240 cm lies on the edge of a crate with one-third of the plank's length hanging over the crate's edge. A cat with a mass of 4.0 kg walks to the very edge just before she tips the plank over. What is the mass of the plank?
