A uniform 120O N piece of medical apparatus that is 3.5 m long is suspended horizontally by two vertical wires at its ends. A small but dense 550N weight is placed on the apparatus 2.0 m from one end, as shown in the figure. What are the tensions, A and B, in the two wires? A 2.0 m 3.5 m A = 880 N, B = 880 N O A = 840 N, B = 910 N O A = 910 N, B = 840 N O A = 9000 N, B = 8200 N Other:
A window washer is standing on a scaffold supported by avertical rope at each end. The scaffold weighs 200 N and is3.00 m long. What is the tension in each rope when the 700-Nworker stands 1.00 m from one end?
A child of mass 25.0 kg sits on the end of a seesaw, 1.50 m from the fulcrum. Thechild's friend (mass = 15.0 kg) sits halfway between the child and the fulcrum. On theother end of the seesaw, the child's father (mass = 85.0 kg) sits 2.00 m from thefulcrum. The seesaw itself has a mass of 15.0 kg. Find the center of mass of thesystem consisting of the three people and the seesaw, relative to the location of thefulcrum.
A 1350N window washers platform, 3.5 m long is suspended by two vertical wires at its ends. A 600N person is standing 2.0m form the right end. What are the tensions on both sides in two wires?
A 120-cm-wide sign hangs from a 5.5 kg , 200-cm-long pole. A cable of negligible mass supports the end of the rod as shown in the figure. What is the maximum mass of the sign if the maximum tension in the cable without breaking is 400 N ?
Two window washers, Bob and Joe, are on a 3.00-m-long,345-N scaffold supported by two cables attached to its ends.Bob weighs 750 N and stands 1.00 m from the left end, asshown in Figure P8.82. Two meters from the left end is the500-N washing equipment. Joe is 0.500 m from the right endand weighs 1 000 N. Given that the scaffold is in rotational andtranslational equilibrium, what are the forces on each cable?
A woman doing core exercises is in a “plank position,” as shown in the diagram below. The jointwhere the spine meets the pelvis is the pivot, with the legs on one side and the upper body on theother. It is the abdominal muscles that keep the two segments from bending away from each other.The contact force at her feet is 230.0 N, and the mass of the lower segment of her body is 30.61 kg.What is the tension in her abdominal muscles that keeps her body in static equilibrium? Note:1. The object is the lower portion of the person’s body.2. The object interacts with the following things: The Earth exerts a gravitational pull (FG)verticallydownwards on this portion of their body. The feet are touching the floor, so there is a normal force(n) there. The abdominals pull (T)towards the right to balance the torques due to the other forces.This presses the pelvis into contact with the lumbar vertebrae.
A sign for a pizza restaurant hangs from a 2.60-m long rod extended out from a building. A cable, attached to the building, is attached to the rod at a point that is 2.10 m from the hidge. (See the figure.)The mass of the rod is 4.80 kg. The mass of the sign is 7.10 kg. The angle between the building and the rod is 50.0 degrees. The angle between the cable and the horizontal is 38.0 degrees. The tension in the cable is 90.27 N.What is the vertical component of the reaction force from then hinge on the rod?
The figure below shows an arm that is balancing a carton of milk in the hand. The mass of the carton of milk is 1.77 kg, and in the figure is the gravitational force on the carton. The biceps muscle applies a force Fg to the forearm directed up and to the right at an angle of 75.0° from vertical. The point where F is applied to the forearm is 8.00 cm to the left of the elbow joint and 25.0 cm to the right of the center of gravity of the milk carton. (For simplicity, ignore the weight of the forearm.) B Milk N -25.0 cm- What is the magnitude of FB (in N)? 75.0⁰ 8.00 cm i
10kg rigid beam that is 3mlong is supported at each end. An8kg block is placed 2m fromsupport 1. How much upward forcedoes each support provide to ensurezero acceleration and zero torque?Note, if an object is not rotating, itis not rotating about every axis.
A meter stick is found to balance at the 49.7-cm mark whenplaced on a fulcrum. When a 50.0-gram mass is attached atthe 10.0-cm mark, the fulcrum must be moved to the 39.2-cmmark for balance. What is the mass of the meter stick?
