Concept Simulation 9.1 illustrates how the forces can vary in problems of this type. A hiker, who weighs 754 N, is strolling through the woods and crosses a small horizontal bridge. The bridge is uniform, weighs 3030 N, and rests on two concrete supports, one on each end. He stops 1/4 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 Units (b) Number i Units

The drawing shows a uniform horizontal beam attached to a vertical wall by a frictionless hinge and supported from below at an angle 0 = 40° by a brace that is attached to a pin. The beam has a weight of 340 N. Three additional forces keep the beam in equilibrium. The brace applies a force P, and the hinge applies a force with a horizontal component H and a vertical component V. (a) Draw the free- body diagram showing the forces that act on the beam. Find the magnitudes of the forces (b) P, (c) H, and (d) V. Beam Hinge Pin Ꮎ Brace E
Problem: A 80 kg construction worker is sitting 2.0 m from the right end of a 1450 kg, 6.0 m long beam. What is the tension in the cable attached at an angle of 30 deg. from the beam? (A) Pictorial Representation (B) Physical Representation
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.
17 kg uniform store sign is held from a uniform horizontal beam as shown. There is a cable attached to the right edge of the beam and is secured to the wall, 250 cm above where the beam meets the wall. The sign is symmetrically suspended by two cords, the left cord being 80 cm from the wall, and the cord on the right being at the right edge of the beam, 200 cm from the wall. a. What is the tension in the left and right cords that hold the sign? b. What is the tension in the cable? c. What is the horizontal component of the force that the wall exerts on the beam?
A 20 kg dog stands on a 40 kg platform that is supported by two ropes. One rope is attached to the right edge of the platform and the other is attached 50 cm from the left edge of the platform. The dog sits 50 cm from the right edge of the platform. A 5.0 kg cat jumps up, but is wary of the dog abs stays all the way on the left edge. The platform is 2.0 m long. What is the tension in each rope?
One end of a uniform meter stick is placed against a vertical wall. The other end is held by a lightweight cord that makes an angle 0 with the stick. The coefficient of static friction between the end of the meter stick and the wall is µ, = 0. 400. A. What is the maximum value the 0 can have if the stick is to remain in equilibrium? A block of the same weight as the meter stick is suspended from the stick, as shown, at a distance x from the wall. Assume that 0 = 15.0° in this problem. What is the minimum value of x for which the stick will remain in equilibrium? When 0 = 15.0°, how large must the coefficient of static friction be so that the block can be C. attached 0. 100 [m] from the left end of the stick with out causing it to slip? B.

Problem B3. A solid cylinder is supported on an inclined plane by a chord parallel R above the radius of the cylinder. The cylinder has a to the plane at a distance of 3 radius of 2.00 m, its mass is 20.0 kg, and the inclined plane has an inclination of 20°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the cylinder and the plane is 0.20 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.30. The cylinder remains in static equilibrium. 20 Figure B3. Problem diagram B3 e) If the inclined surface is smooth and the rope breaks, is it possible for the cylinder to roll without sliding downhill? Clearly explain your reasoning.
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?
