(a) When opening a door, you push on it perpendicularly with a force of 55.0 N at a distance of 0.850 m from the hinges. What torque are you exerting relative to the hinges? (b) Does it matter if you push at the same height as the hinges? There is only one pair of hinges.
A vaulter is holding a horizontal 3.00-kg pole, 4.50 m long. His front arm lifts straight up on the pole, 0.750 m from the end, and his back arm pushes straight down on the end of the pole. How much force does his front arm exert on the pole? [?]N
Two children push on opposite sides of a door during play. Both push horizontally and perpendicular to the door. One child pushes with a force of 165 N at a distance of 0.400 m from the hinges, and the second pushes at a distance of 0.450 m. What force must the second exert to keep the door from moving? Assume friction is negligible. Answer in N
A 40 kg, 5.0-m-long beam is supported by, but not attached to, the two posts A and B in the figure. A 20 kg boy starts walking along the beam and stops 1.2 m from the right end of the beam.
