Sir Lost-a-Lot dons his armor and sets out from the castle on his trusty steed (Fig. P12.19). Usually, the drawbridge is lowered to a horizontal position so that the end of the bridge rests on the stone ledge. Unfor- tunately, Lost-a-Lot's squire didn't lower the draw- bridge far enough and stopped it at 0 = 20.0° above the horizontal. The knight and his horse stop when their combined center of mass is d = 1.00 m from the end of the bridge. The uniform bridge is l = 8.00 m long and has mass 2 000 kg. The lift cable is attached to the bridge 5.00 m from the hinge at the castle end and to a point on the castle wall h = 12.0 m above the bridge.

A 15.0-kg floodlight in a park is supported at the end of a uniform 10.0 kg horizontal beam that is 3.00 m long and hinged to a pole that exerts a reaction force on the beam. A cable at an angle of 0 = 25.0° with the beam helps to support the light. What is the vertical component (R) of the reaction force from the pole? O 49.0 N O 53.7 N O 69.5 N O 32.9 N O 99.8 N
A 12m long post is bolted to the wall on its left end. It's right end is held horizontal by a wire that is attached to the wall, making a 35° angle with the post. If the post is 13kg what is the tension in the wire?
Consider an adult of 70.0 kg mass and 1.95 m tall sitting on the floor, with arms crossed and legs extended as illustrated in the figure. It is not very easy to stay in this pose for a long time. The figure shows a sagittal section (dashed line) and the attached table provides the x and y coordinates of the center of gravity of some segments, as well as the respective masses. The center of gravity of the head and arms crossed with the neck and trunk are aligned vertically to the paramedial line (vertical axis) at a distance of 81.0 cm from the plantar part of the foot. a) Determine the coordinates of the head - neck - trunk and crossed arms center of gravity, b) Determine the coordinates of the center of gravity of the thigh - leg - foot set, c) Calculate the coordinates of the center of gravity of this person's body . Explain why this position is not so comfortable for the person who performs it.

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 a 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. Find the normal reaction and friction forces on the ladder at its base.

We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque. Suppose a tree’s canopy presents an area of 9.0 m2 to the wind centered at a height of 7.0 m above the ground. (These are reasonable values for forest trees.) If the wind blows at 6.5 m/s: a. What is the magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy? Assume a drag coefficient of 0.50.b. What torque does this force exert on the tree, measured about the point where the trunk meets the ground?
Problem 2: A uniform beam of length L = 1.9 m and mass M = 49 kg has its lower end fixed to pivot at a point P on the floor, making an angle 0 = 15° as shown in the digram.
