(I) A tower crane (Fig. 9–48a) must always be carefully balanced so that there is no net torque tending to tip it. A particular crane at a building site is about to lift a 2800-kg air-conditioning unit. The crane's dimensions are shown in Fig. 9-48b. (a) Where must the crane's 9500-kg counterweight be placed when the load is lifted from the ground? (The counterweight is usually moved auto- matically via sensors and motors to precisely compensate for the load.) (b) Determine the maximum load that can be lifted with this counterweight when it is placed at its full extent. Ignore the mass of the beam. (a) Counterweight M = 9500 kg +3.4 m- 7.7 m m = 2800 kg FIGURE 9-48 (b) Problem 3.

(5) We typically place our arms out for when we are crossing a narrow beam/rope. Is it because: (a) The larger leg muscles are unable to be used so we use the arms for leverage to bring our line of gravity back inside base of support; (b) To make our body area wider so the base of support is wider and line of gravity falls within it; (c) To make our body area wider so center of gravity naturally becomes lower and the body is more stable; (d) To utilize force summation to use larger muscles to bring us back into balance
The uniform 19.0 kg beam below is 6.4 m long and is perfectly balanced about a point 1.4 m from the left end. What is the mass of the block? (Hint: when calculating the torque due to the weight of the beam, consider all of its mass to be located at its center of mass.)

A wheelbarrow with w weight of 150N is used to lift a load with a weight of 900 N. The length from the wheel axle to the center of gravity (COG) of the load is 2 ft, and the distance to the (COG) of the wheelbarrow is 1.5 ft. The length from the wheel axle to the hands is 5 ft. The wheelbarrow is also tilted at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Calculate the motive force required to hold the wheel barrow

3) To strengthen his arm and chest muscles, a 6-slug athlete who is 6'6" tall is doing push-ups as shown in the figure below. His centre of mass is 3'9" from the bottom of his feet, and the centres of his palms are one foot from the top of his head. Find the force that the floor exerts on each of his feet and on each hand, assuming that both feet exert the same force and both palms do likewise. Begin with a free-body diagram of the athlete. 6'6" K–1'-
