To strengthen his arm and chest muscles, an 82-kg athlete who is 2.0 m tall is doing push-ups as shown in Fig. E11.15. His center of mass is 1.15 m from the bottom of his feet, and the centers of his palms are 30.0 cm from the top of his head. The force (in N) that the floor exerts on each of his feet and on each hand, assuming that both feet exert the same force and both palms do likewise, is Figure E11.15 2.0 m k-30.0 cm 201 402 272 O 103

The drawing shows an A-shaped ladder. Both sides of the ladder are equal in length. This ladder is standing on a frictionless horizontal surface, and only the crossbar (which has a negligible mass) of the " A " keeps the ladder from collapsing. The ladder is uniform and has a mass of 15.2Kg. Det k mine the tension in the crossbar of the ladder.

(8c12p13) Forces F1, F2, and F3 act on the structure depicted in the figure, shown in an overhead view. We wish to put the structure in equilibrium by applying a force, at a point such as P located a distance d from F1, whose vector components are Fh and Fv. We are given that a = 1.9 m, b = 2.7 m, C = 1.05 m, F1 = 24.10 N, F2 = 12.85 N, and F3 = 4.65 N. Find Fh, find Fv, and find d.
