Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

How do you do this? A hungry bear weighing 700 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam (see figure below). The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 6.00 m long, and it is supported by a wire at an angle of ? = 60.0°. The basket weighs 80.0 N. a) When the bear is at x = 1.00 m, find the tension (in N) in the wire supporting the beam and the components of the force exerted by the wall on the left end of the beam. b) If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 875 N, what is the maximum distance (in m) the bear can walk before the wire breaks?

The coefficient of static friction between the foot of the ladder and the ground is 0.40. A man weighing 740 N climbs slowly up the ladder. (a) What is the maximum friction force, in Newtons, that the ground can exert on the ladder at its lower end?

A painter wishes to know whether or not he can safely stand on a ladder. The ladder has a mass M1 = 10 kg which is uniformly distributed throughout its length L = 7.1 m. The ladder is propped up at an angle theta = 49o. The coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder is mus = 0.49, and the wall against which the ladder is resting is frictionless. Calculate the maximum mass of the painter for which the ladder will remain stable when he climbs a distance d = 5.5 m up the ladder. If the painter does not stand on the ladder, what is the minimum angle theta for which the ladder will remain stable?
