A horizontal beam of length 2 m and mass 8.0 kg has a mass of 5.0 kg and width 0.8 m sitting at the end of the beam (see the following figure). What is the torque due to gravity (in N. m) on the beam-block system about the support at the wall? (Enter the magnitude.) Wall support 0.8 m, 5.0 kg 2 m, 8.0 kg
To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places a 6.00 m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against the plastic rain gutter which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2.00 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3.00 m from the bottom. What are the magnitudes of the forces on the ladder at the top and bottom?
Fy Ex The plant in the picture has mass of 30 kg, and is hanging at a distance of 1.8 meters from the wall. The horizontal rod has mass of 7.8 kg. Assume that its weight is evenly distributed, therefore it can be treated as a single force at the center of mass. The rod is 2 meters long, and there is a cable at a 38° angle supporting it at the end. Using the wall as the axis of rotation, find the magnitude of the downward torque, from both the weight of the rod and the weight of the plant.
To get up on the roof, a person (mass 62.0 kg) places a 6.80 m aluminum ladder (mass 11.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The top of the ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2.00 m from the base, as measured along the ladder. The person is standing on the ladder 3.00 m from the base, as measured along the ladder. Find the normal reaction and friction forces (in N) on the ladder at its base. (Enter the magnitudes.) normal reaction force friction force
Two children of mass 19 kg and 27 kg sit balanced on a seesaw with the pivot point located at the center of the seesaw. a) If the children are separated by a distance of 3.00 m, at what distance from the pivot point is the small child sitting in order to maintain the balance?
Consider a teeter-totter that is made out of pine, shown below. A pineapple sits on one side of the teeter-totter, a distance 1.09 m from the pivot point, while an apple (non-pine) sits on the other side, a distance of 2.63 m from the pivot. If the pineapple has a mass 132 g, what must the mass of the apple be in order to balance the teeter-totter (i.e. to maintain rotational equilibrium)?

Fy Fx The plant in the picture has mass of 29 kg, and is hanging at a distance of 2.2 meters from the wall. The horizontal rod has mass of 8 kg. Assume that its weight is evenly distributed, therefore it can be treated as a single force at the center of mass. The rod is 3 meters long, and there is a cable at a 28° angle supporting it at the end. Using the wall as the axis of rotation, find the magnitude of the downward torque, from both the weight of the rod and the weight of the plant. N.m The downward torque is balanced by the upward torque from the force of tension. Find th e ma'gnitude ef the ferce of tensien
A wooden plank of length 240 cm lies on the edge of a crate with one-third of the plank's length hanging over the crate's edge. A cat with a mass of 4.0 kg walks to the very edge just before she tips the plank over. What is the mass of the plank?
Alunch tray is being held in one hand, as the figure illustrates. The mass of the tray itself is 0.237 kg, and its center of gravity is located at its geometrical center. On the tray is a 1.19-kg plate of food and a 0.241-kg cup of coffee. Obtain (a) the force 7 exerted by the thumb and (b) the force exerted by the four fingers. Both forces act perpendicular to the tray, which is being held parallel to the ground. 0.400 m 0.380 m 0.240 m 0.100 m 0.0600 m henc henc
A solid cylinder with a mass of 15 kg and a radius of 5 cm is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axle over a well as shown in the Figure below. A rope of negligible mass is wrapped around the cylinder and supports a bucket with a mass of 3 kg. Find the bucket’s acceleration as it falls down the well shaft.
In the figure, a lead brick rests horizontally on cylinders A and B. The areas of the top faces of the cylinders are related by Aa= 2.4 Ag: the Young's moduli of the cylinders are related by EA 1.6 Ea. The cylinders had identical lengths before the brick was placed on them. What fraction of the brick's mass is supported (a) by cylinder A and (b) by cylinder B? The horizontal distances between the center of mass of the brick and the centerlines of the cylinders are d,for cylinder A and dg for cylinder B. (c) What is the ratio d,/dg? com of brick
The larger ball in the picture has a mass m1 = 30 kg while the smaller ball has a mass m2 = 10 kg. (a) If the larger ball is placed 1 m away from the fulcrum, how far away from the fulcrum must the smaller ball be placed in order for the seesaw to be in equilibrium? Here the fulcrum is in the middle of the seesaw.
