Item 3 Hide Timer 01: 3 of 2 You are pushing an 80.0 N wheelbarrow as shown in (Figure 1). You lift upward on the handle of the wheelbarrow so that the only point of contact between the wheelbarrow and the ground is at the front wheel. Assume the distances are as shown in the figure, where 0.50 m is the horizontal distance from the center of the wheel to the center of gravity of the wheelbarrow. The center gravity of the dirt in the wheelbarrow is assumed to also be a horizontal distance of 0.50 m from the center of the wheel. Suppose that the maximum total upward force that you can apply to the wheelbarrow handles is 75 lb. Cons Part A If you apply this estimated force, what is the maximum weight of dirt that you can carry in the wheelbarrow? Express your answer in pounds. w = 6.42 lb Submit Previous Answers Completed Part B If the dirt has the weight you calculated in part A, what upward force does the ground apply to the wheel of the wheelbarrow?

a. What is the maximum torque applied by the cable? (Give your answer in N m.) b. What is the torque due to the weight of the bridge? (Give your answer in N m.) c. How far can Lancelot ride out along the bridge before the cable breaks? (Give your answer in m.) Note: At his maximum distance, the torque from the cable will equal the torque from both the weight of the bridge and the weight of Lancelot.
In this assignment, the radius refers to the distance between the location where the force is applied and the axis of rotation. A ruler is initially at rest when a student briefly exerts a downward force on the right end, as shown. The magnitude of the force exerted by the student is less than the weight of the ruler. Assume that the pivot point is frictionless. Answer the following questions based on this description. Part A: 1. While the hand is pushing, but before the ruler begins to move, the tangential acceleration of the ruler is 2. While the hand is pushing, but before the ruler begins to move, the centripetal acceleration of the ruler is 3. While the hand is pushing, but before the ruler begins to move, the angular acceleration of the ruler is 4. At the instant the hand has stopped pushing, the tangential acceleration of the ruler is 5. At the instant the hand has stopped pushing, the centripetal acceleration of the ruler is 6. At the instant the hand has stopped pushing, the…
