Concept Simulation 9.1 illustrates how the forces can vary in problems of this type. A hiker, who weighs 785 N, is strolling through the woods and crosses a small horizontal bridge. The bridge is uniform, weighs 3110 N, and rests on two concrete supports, one on each end. He stops 1/5 of the way along the bridge. What is the magnitude of the force that a concrete support exerts on the bridge (a) at the near end and (b) at the far end? (a) Number i (b) Number i Units Units ✰

Q4.2. A springboard-type diving board is built from high grade aluminum. This particular board has a mass of 65 kg and is 3.85 m long. 33.8 cm wide, and 5 cm thick. (Aside: Most springboards start thick on one end, then get thinner as it moves to the other end. For this problem, assume the springboard has a constant thickness) One end of the springboard is attached to a hinge. The hinge lets the springboard move up and down, but keeps it from sliding out of place. 1.1 m away from the hinge, the springboard rests on (but is not attached to) a fulcrum. A diver with a mass of 65 kg stands on the far end of the springboard (opposite from the hinge), ready to begin their dive. Hinge Fulcrum Note: the measurements for this problem were taken from the springboards used in the 2016 Summer Olympics, 3 m Springboard event.
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 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 e when F, = n = 675 N. (For e, enter the smaller of the two possible values between 0° and 90°.) Achilles tendon Tibia 15.0° 18.0 cm 25.0 cm T = N R = N Need Help?

A fence post of mass m = 8 kg supports a fence with three lengths of barbed wire. The bottom wire is a distance d = 0.35 m from the ground and each wire is a distance 0.35 m above the previous one. Each of these three wires has the tension on it. For this problem, assume that the force exerted by these wires is purely horizontal. An additional guy wire is used to keep the pole upright with a tension of Fa = 490 N. The guy wire attaches to the post at a point h = 0.86 m above the ground and makes an angle of θ = 45 with respect to the horizontal. Write an expression for the tension in any one of the three fence wires. What is the normal force that the ground exerts upward on the post?
