To Brig 12.54 kg The h 20 th Orange, NJ The plank you are going to walk has a length of 7.20 m and a mass of 12.54 kg. The plank is nos bolted down but is to be placed so that 2.56 m of the plank are actually in contact with the boat. The rest of the board overhangs the jelly fish infested waters. You have a mass of 73.8 kg. What is the minimum mass you must put on the end of the board that is still on the ship so that your can successfully walk to the end of the plank without have the board rotate you into the water?

8. A uniform beam, length = 12 m, wt = 800 N, is hinged at the wall and makes an angle of 30° to the horizontal. A wire connected to the beam 2 meters from its end makes an angle of 45° to the beam. a) What is the tension in the wire? b) What is the vertical component of the force of the hinge and c) What is the horizontal component of the force of the hinge? 45 30
Two children of mass 21 kg and 26 kg sit balanced on a seesaw with the pivot point located at the center of the seesaw. If the children are separated by a distance of 2 m, at what distance from the pivot point is the small child sitting in order to maintain the balance? m
a. A 1200-N uniform boom of length 2.00 m is supported by a cable, as shown in the figure. The boom is pivoted at the bottom, and a 2000-N weight hands from its top. Find the tension in the cable and the components of the reaction force exerted on the boom by the floor. For the next two parts you can assume that the 2000-N weight is concentrated at the top end of the boom. b. Determine the total moment of inertia of the boom/weight system around the pivot point. c. The cable now breaks, and the boom pivots until the right end hits the floor. Determine the velocity of the right end at the instant before it hits the floor.
A uniform 8.00 m, 1500 kg beam is hinged to a wall and supported by a thin cable attached 2.00 m from the free end of the beam. The beam is fixed to the wall at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. The angle between the cable and the beam is 40 degrees. What are the unknowns? -direction of tension in the cable -direction of the hinge force -magnitude of rhe tension in the cable -magnitude of the hinge force
A uniform drawbridge must be held at a 38o angle above the horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weights 55000 N and is 15.0 m long. A cable is connected 3.5 m from the hinge where the bridge pivots (measured along the bridge) and pulls horizontally on the bridge to hold it in place. What is the tension in the cable? Find the magnitude and direction of the force the hinge exerts on the bridge. If the cable suddenly breaks, what is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the drawbridge just after the cable breaks? What is the angular speed of the drawbridge as it becomes horizontal? What is the velocity of the drawbridge, just before it “hits” (i.e. goes horizontal)?
A certain rod stretches 0.90 cm when outward forces with magnitude F are applied to each end. The same forces are applied to another rod of the same material but with three times the diameter and three times the length. At what length will the second rod stretch? 0.10 cm. 0.30 cm. 0.90 cm. 2.73 cm. 8.14 cm.
A rigid beam of length 1.8 m is in equilibrium, with one end attached to a wall by a hinge, and the other end held in place by a thin, massless wire as shown in the figure on Zoom. The wire will break if tension exceeds 1300 N. What is the maximum mass of the beam that can still be supported by the wire?
