Exercise 6: Refrigerator A has a mass of 122kg and is 90.0cm wide. It is loaded so that the center of mass is 70.0cm from the floor as shown, but still along the vertical centerline. A) Calculate the magnitude of the force F (applied as shown) required to tip the refrigerator over. B) Refrigerator B has the same mass and external dimensions as A, but it is loaded such that it has a center of mass substantially higher from the floor (but still along the vertical centerline.) Would this refrigerator require a greater, equal, or lesser force F to start tipping over, compared to refrigerator A? Explain. C) Now suppose each refrigerator is already tipped by the (same) angle 0 when the forces are applied. Would refrigerator B require a greater, equal, or lesser force (horizontal) F to finish tipping over, assuming each force is applied at the same place above the floor?

Required information A photograph of the NASA Apollo 16 Lunar Module (abbreviated by NASA as the LM) is shown on the surface of the Moon. Such spacecraft made six Moon landings during 1969 - 72. A simplified model for one of the four landing gear assemblies of the LM is shown. Assume the weight of the LM is uniformly supported by all four landing gear assemblies, and neglect friction between the landing gear and the surface of the Moon. NOTE: This is a multi-part question.

1) A drawbridge has mass M and length L and is approximately uniform. It has a hinge at the right end, and is being pulled up via a cable (FT) that is pointed 45° up from "“to the right" and is connected at L/3 from the left end. Assume that the tension is just enough that there's no normal force at the left end of the bridge. Draw a Free Body Diagram for the bridge. Assume it is stationary and not accelerating.

Problems 1. Calculate the linear momentum of a belt drive, if the masses of both pulleys and the belt are taken into consideration. The centre of gravity of each pulley is located on the axis of rotation. 2. Figure shows a pulley with a rope running over it. A man holds one side of the rope at A while a load, equal to the weight of the man, is attached to the other end of the rope at B. What would happen to the load if the man starts climbing up the rope with the velocity a relative to the rope? Neglect the weight of the pulley.
