Part A A professor's office door is 0.87 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg ; and pivots on frictionless hinges. A "door closer" is attached to the door and the top of the door frame. When the door is open and at rest, the door closer exerts a torque of 5.5 N ·m. What is the least force that you need to apply to the door to hold it open?

Q1-Two metal disks, one with radius R3=1.20 m and mass 1.00 kg and the other with radius R3=0.60 m and mass 1.00 kg are welded together and mounted on a frictionless axis through their common center. Two light strings are wrapped around two disks, separately. Free ends of strings are connected to two blocks with the mass of m,=2.0 kg and m,=7.0 kg as shown in figure. When the system is released from at rest, one of the blocks falls and the string connected to it R unwinds without stretching or slipping and other climbs up and the string connected to it winds around the related disk. Find the angular acceleration of the metal disks after the blocks are released (laisk = MR2). m
A playground merry-go-round has a radius of 4.30 mm and a moment of inertia of 243 kg⋅m2kg⋅m2 and turns with negligible friction about a vertical axle through its center. Part A A child applies a 25.0 NN force tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round for 18.0 ss . If the merry-go-round is initially at rest, what is its angular velocity after this 18.0 ss interval? Express your answer in radians per second. Part B How much work did the child do on the merry-go-round? Express your answer in joules. Part C What is the average power supplied by the child? Express your asnwer in watts.
Problem 6 A figure skater enters into a spin with arms outstretched. This body position gives them a moment of inertia of 2.4 kg m². They're initially spinning through 1.2 revolutions per second. Then, with no external torques acting on them, they pull their arms in close to their body, reducing their moment of inertia to 0.4 kg m². What is their angular velocity after they pull their arms in? Don't forget units! cad
a. What are the conditions for static equilibrium? b. A 30.0 kg post is supported by two wires as shown. The post is 2.00 m long and a 5.00 kg wreath hangs 1.50 m from one end. Use the conditions for static equilibrium from part (a) to find the tension in each wire. Include a free body diagram as part of your answer.
