Two painters stand on a 10.0m long plank of mass 300 kg. The plank rests on two pillars separated by 6.00m. Danny has a mass of 92.0 kg and stands 3.00m from the left end of the plank and Jerry has a mass of 68.0 kg and stands 1.50m from Danny. Assume that the plank is not nailed to the pillars (the plank only rests on top of pillars). Danny = 92 kg Jerry = 68 kg 3m mass plank = 300 kg 1.5 m 2m 6m 2m Determine the force which the left pillar exerts on the plank.

An equal arm balance is made by placing a meter stick at its center so it looks like a seesaw. The first mass m=3 kg is hung at r= 0.25 m To the left of the center. A second mass equaling 1.4 kg is hung at 0.4 m to the right of the center. At what location with respect to the center of the meter stick must a third mass of 0.8 kg be hung for the meter stick to be in equilibrium? to the left of the center. A second mass equaling 1.4 kg is hung at 0.4 m to the right of the center. At what location with respect to the center of the meter stick must a third mass of 0.8 kg be hung for the meter stick to be in equilibrium? (All angles are 90 degrees)
Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 293 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (see figure below). If the angle between Jamal's handle and the vertical side is 25.0° and the angle between Dayo's handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0°, what are the tensions in each handle?

A hand-held shopping basket 62.0 cm long has a 1.86 kg carton of milk at one end, and a 0.722 kg box of cereal at the other end. Where should a 1.70 kg container of orange juice be placed so that the basket balances at its center?
A child of mass 25 kg sits on one side of a see-saw, 2.2 m from the see-saw's pivot. An adult of mass 75 kg sits on the opposite side of the see-saw. (a) Draw a sketch of the child and adult on the sea-saw. On your sketch you should indicate the forces exerted on the see-saw by the child and the adult and label the relevant distances. (b) Write down expressions for the torques exerted about the pivot of the see-saw by the child and adult. (c) Hence determine where the adult should sit for the see-saw to be balanced.
Alice is going on a picnic and is aware that it will be easier to carry the picnic basket if it balances at the center where the handle is attached. She has placed a 1.55-kg container of potato salad at one end and a 0.725-kg package of hot dogs at the other end of a 52.0-cm long basket. Determine where she should place a 1.85-kg container of lemonade so that the basket balances at its center.

The figure below shows a bird feeder that weighs 187.1 N. The feeder is supported by a vertical wire, which is in turn tied to two wires, each of which is attached to a horizontal support. The left wire makes a 60° angle with the support, while the right wire makes a 30° angle. What is the tension in each wire (in N)? A bird feeder is suspended from a vertical wire. The top of the wire is tied to two other wires. The left and right wires go up and to the left and up and to the right, respectively, from the connection point to a horizontal support. The left wire makes an angle of 60° with the support. The right wire makes an angle of 30° with the support. left wire Nright wire Nbottom wire N
In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tree 7.4 m away, as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 490 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.98 m, as shown. What is the force (in N) of the rope on the car? (Enter the magnitude.) 490 N 0.98 m 7.4 m
Can you draw a free-body diagram of this problem? Three children are trying to balance on a seesaw, which includes a fulcrum rock acting as a pivot at the center, and a very light board 3.2 m long as shown in the figure. Two playmates are already on either end. Boy A has a mass of 45 kg, and boy B a mass of 35 kg. Where should girl C, whose mass is 25 kg, place herself so as to balance the seesaw?
