In the figure, a nonuniform bar is suspended at rest in a horizontal position by two massless cords as shown in the figure here. One cord makes the angle e = 40.4° with the vertical; the other makes the angle o = 49.6° with the vertical. If the length L of the bar is 3.0 m, compute the distance x from the left end of the bar to its center of mass. L com X = i

Suppose a 905-kg car is on the bridge in the figure with its center of mass halfway between the hinges and the cable attachment. (The bridge is supported by the cable and hinges only.) The mass of the bridge is 2500 kg. Find the tension, in newtons, in the cable.
A student gets his car stuck in a snow drift. Not at a loss, having studied physics, he attaches one end of a stout rope to the vehide and the other end to the trunk of a nearby tree, allowing for a small amount of slack. The student then exerts a force F on the center of the rope in the direction perpendicular to the car-tree line, as shown in the figure below. If the rope is inextensible and if the magnitude of the applied force is 504 N, what is the force on the car? (Assume equilibrium conditions.) KN 12 m Tree 0.50 m
A ladder leans against a wall 5 meters above the ground so a homeowner can clear his gutters of leaves from last fall. The bottom of the ladder just begins to slip when it is 1.7 meters from the wall. What is the coefficient of static friction between the bottom of the ladder and the ground?
The joint angle between thigh and leg is θ = 90°. The resistive forces are the weights of the leg and the foot. The distance between the axis of rotation of the knee joint and the center of mass of the leg is dLEG = 8.6 in, the distance to the center of mass of the foot is dFT = 49 cm. The angle of attachment for the hamstring muscle is λ = 108°. The insertion point of the hamstring is a distance dHAM = 2.5 cm away from the knee joint axis. The mass of the foot is mFT = 1.25 kg, the mass of the leg is mLEG = 3.9 kg. What is the magnitude of FHAM to maintain this position?
A 1.0 m long uniform iron bar is balanced on triangular support at its middle with 200 g hanging form it on a string tied 10 cm from the middle and mass m hanging form it on a string tied 40 cm from the middle of the bar. What is the mass m? cc (The triangular support and 200 g mass on a string and mass m on a string are the only things touching the bar.)
A vaulter is holding a horizontal 3.00-kg pole, 4.50 m long. His front arm lifts straight up on the pole, 0.750 m from the end, and his back arm pushes straight down on the end of the pole. How much force does his front arm exert on the pole? [?]N
In the figure, a nonuniform bar is suspended at rest in a horizontal position by two massless cords as shown in the figure here. One cord makes the angle 0 = 29.5° with the vertical; the other makes the angle p = 60.5° with the vertical. If the length L of the bar is 6.8 m, compute the distance x from the left end of the bar to its center of mass. com X = i
One end of a uniform meter stick is placed against a vertical wall. The other end is held by a lightweight cord that makes an angle 0 with the stick. The coefficient of static friction between the end of the meter stick and the wall is µ, = 0. 400. A. What is the maximum value the 0 can have if the stick is to remain in equilibrium? A block of the same weight as the meter stick is suspended from the stick, as shown, at a distance x from the wall. Assume that 0 = 15.0° in this problem. What is the minimum value of x for which the stick will remain in equilibrium? When 0 = 15.0°, how large must the coefficient of static friction be so that the block can be C. attached 0. 100 [m] from the left end of the stick with out causing it to slip? B.
