Two window washers, Bob and Joe, are on a 3.00 m long, 295 N scaffold supported by two cables attached to its ends. Bob weighs 800 N and stands 1.00 m from the left end, as shown in the figure below. Two meters from the left end is the 500 N washing equipment. Joe is 0.500 m from the right end and weighs 910 N. Given that the scaffold is in rotational and translational equilibrium, what are the forces on each cable? KN left cable right cable KN -1.00 m- 0.500 m -3.00 m- 2.00 m

A 27.2 kg door is 209.9 cm tall and 91.5 cm wide. What is the door's rotational inertia about its hinges.
Can somebody help please ?
A 75.0-kg and 5.00-m plank is supported by two fulcrums (take the left end to be the origin x=0). When the fulcrums are at x=0 and x=2.50 m, the plank is in equilibrium. However, when the fulcrums are at x=2.00 m and x=2.50 m, the plank starts to rotate, with its left end falling to the ground. To keep the equilibrium while in this configuration, a mass 21.75 kg is placed at x=5.00 kg. Where is the center of gravity of the plank located with respect to the left end? A. 1.50 m B. 1.13 m C. 1.35 m D. 2.00 m

Two window washers, Bob and Joe, are on a 3.00-m-long, 350-N scaffold supported by two cables attached to its ends. Bob weighs 780 N and stands 1.00 m from the left end, as shown in the figure below. Two meters from the left end is the 500-N washing equipment. Joe is 0.500 m from the right end and weighs 900 N. Given that the scaffold is in rotational and translational equilibrium, what are the forces on each cable? left cable _____ kN right cable _____kN Two window washers, Bob and Joe, stand on a scaffold. The scaffold is 3.00 m long and is supported by two cables with one on each end. Bob stands 1.00 m from the left end of the scaffold. The bucket is 2.00 m from the left end of the scaffold and Joe stands 0.500 m from the right of the scaffold.
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.
A see-saw consists of a uniform board with mass 43.6kg and length l = 2.01m. It supports two friends who are at rest with masses mj= 45.4kg and m2 =46.4kg as shown in the figure.

As a swimmer pulls his arm through the water, various muscles exert forces on the upper arm. The figure below shows a force F exerted on the humerus (upper arm bone) by the pectoral muscle. The muscle is connected to the bone d = 7.10 cm from the center point O of the shoulder joint. Find the magnitude of F, if this force's torque on the arm provides half of the total torque balancing the torque produced by the water pushing against the hand. (Let Fhand = 108 and D = 33.0 cm. ) please solve thank you
