The Cavendish balance shown in the figure below has two large lead balls, each of mass M = 1.5 kg,and two smaller lead balls, each of mass m = 0.8 kg. The lengths of the suspended rod to which the twosmaller balls are attached and the fixed rod to which the larger balls are attached are both 40 cm asmeasured from the center of each lead ball. If the angle between the centers of the large and smallballs is  = 22 degrees with respect to the rotational axis established by the quartz fiber, find the force ofgravitational attraction between each pair of large and small balls.

In the figure, the driver of a car on a horizontal road makes an emergency stop by applying the brakes so that all four wheels lock and skid along the road. The coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road is 0.49. The separation between the front and rear axles is L = 4.2 m, and the center of mass of the car is located at distance d = 1.9 m behind the front axle and distance h = 1.2 m above the road. The car weighs 12 kN. Find the magnitude of (a) the braking acceleration of the car, (b) the normal force on each rear wheel, (c) the normal force on each front wheel, (d) the braking force on each rear wheel, and (e) the braking force on each front wheel. (Hint: Although the car is not in translational equilibrium, it is in rotational equilibrium.) L.
An 85 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 14 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, and we can model the situation to see why. Assume that the man has a mass of 85 kg, with a center of gravity 1.0 m above the ground. The action of the wind on his torso, which we approximate as a cylinder 50 cm wide and 90 cm long centered 1.2 m above the ground, produces a force that tries to tip him over backward. To keep from falling over, he must lean forward. a. What is the magnitude of the torque provided by the wind force? Take the pivot point at his feet. Assume that he is standing vertically.b. At what angle to the vertical must the man lean to provide a gravitational torque that is equal to this torque due to the wind force?
Modeled after the triatomic molecule problem that is let's consider the three atoms composing the molecule have different masses and coordinate, while the axis of rotation is still y-axis. The first atom has a mass of 7.281 kg, with x coordinate at 6.769 m and y coordinate at 9.989 m. The second atom has a mass of 61.310 kg, with x coordinate at 39.549 m and y coordinate at 25.180 m. The third atom has a mass of 49.316 kg, with x coordinate at 35.553 m and y coordinate at 31.216 m. What is the moment of inertia in the unit of kg m2 with respect to the y axis?

Objects with a uniform mass distribution and a symmetric shape have a center of mass at the center of the object. For non-uniform objects, the center of mass needs to be determined experimentally. To measure the center of mass of such an object, a pivot is placed in the middle of a board and the top of the non-uniform object is placed to the right of the pivot. When a uniform 10.0 kg mass has its center placed 60.0 cm to the left of the pivot the system balances perfectly (as shown below). The mass of the non-uniform object is measured with an electronic scale in the lab and found to beM = 39.8 kg . Top of non-uniform object 10.0 kg M 60.0 cm Part A Where is the center of mass of the non-uniform object? (report the location from the top of the object, and in cm) ΑΣΦ ? dCM = ст
