a. Draw an Extended Free Body Diagram (FBD) of the fridge.b. Solve for the contact force from the ground on the fridge, \( \vec{F}_{gf} \), in terms of the geometric parameters shown in the diagram, the mass of the fridge (\( m \)), and \( g \).c. Solve for the contact force from you on the fridge, \( \vec{F}_{yf} \), in terms of the geometric parameters shown in the diagram, the mass of the fridge (\( m \)), and \( g \). Your answer can also have \( \vec{F}_{gf} \) in it if you solved for it in part b in terms of the known quantities as then \( \vec{F}_{gf} \) becomes a known quantity. **Transcription for Educational Website:**---**Problem Description:**You are holding a fridge of width, \( b \), and length, \( d \), at an angle so that it does not topple over by exerting a force, \( \vec{F}_{yf} \), at a height, \( h \), as indicated in the diagram below. For simplicity, assume that the fridge is a uniform object so that the weight from the Earth on the fridge acts through its center. You can also assume that the ground is so slick that there is negligible friction between the fridge and the ground.**Diagram Explanation:**- **Fridge Dimensions:** - Width (\( b \)) - Length (\( d \))- **Visual Elements:** - The fridge is depicted as a rectangle tilted at an angle \( \theta \) with respect to the ground. - The center of the fridge is marked. - Dotted lines indicate half of the width (\( b/2 \)) and half of the length (\( d/2 \)) from the center to the edges. - A right triangle is formed within the fridge to represent the trigonometric relationships, featuring the angle \( \theta \).- **Force Exertion:** - The force \( \vec{F}_{yf} \) is exerted at a point on the fridge at height \( h \) from the ground. - **Cartesian Basis:** - Shown at the top-right corner of the diagram with the unit vectors: - \( \hat{i} \) (horizontal axis) - \( \hat{j} \) (vertical axis) - \( \hat{k} \) (perpendicular to the page, not used in 2D analysis)**Additional Notes:**- This setup is used to analyze the balance and stability conditions under applied forces, considering negligible friction.---

Consider a teeter-totter that is made out of pine, shown below. A pineapple sits on one side of the teeter-totter, a distance 1.09 m from the pivot point, while an apple (non-pine) sits on the other side, a distance of 2.63 m from the pivot. If the pineapple has a mass 132 g, what must the mass of the apple be in order to balance the teeter-totter (i.e. to maintain rotational equilibrium)?

Pat builds a track for his model car out of wood. The track is 3 cm wide (along the z coordinate), 1 m high (along the y coordinate), and 2.7 m long (along the x coordinate starting from x = 0). The runway is cut such that it forms part of the left-hand side of a parabola, see figure below. Locate the horizontal position of the center of gravity of this track in m.
A thin washer of internal radius 5 cm and external radius of 12 cm carries a load of 15mC distributed evenly on its surface located on the Y axis. A small 7.5g sphere with a load of 3mC is placed exactly in the center. A small push is given along the axis of the washer (the x-axis) to remove it from rest. How fast will the sphere be moving when it is 2m from the center of the washer? (hint, ignore gravity and energy is conserved)

You have a summer internship at NASA and are working on plans for a new space station to be launched into orbit around the Earth. The design of the space station is shown. i It is to be constructed in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 52,000 kg. The structures other than the ring shown in the figure have negligible mass compared to the ring. Members of the crew will walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 140 m. The thickness of the ring is very small compared to the radius, so we can model the ring as a hoop. At rest when constructed, the ring is to be set rotating about its axis so that the people standing inside on this deck experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. The rotation is achieved by firing two small rockets attached tangentially to opposite points on the rim of the ring. Your supervisor asks you to determine the following: (a) the time interval during which the rockets must be fired if each…
Ryan is attempting to curl a 25-kg dumbbell. He manages to get his forearm to a horizontal position, temporarily holding the dumbbell stationary. The forearm is 30 cm in length and has a mass of 4.0 kg. [Consider the forearm to have uniform mass distribution.] The distal biceps tendon is attached to the radius (one of the two bones of the forearm) 5.5 cm from the elbow. Ryan applies maximum force in an attempt to complete the curl, but his tendon ruptures (i.e., tension goes to zero). What is the total moment of inertia about the elbow (after the rupture)?
