You are trying to raise a bicycle wheel of mass m and radius R up over a curb of height h. To do this, you apply a horizontal force F S . What is the smallest magnitude of the force F S that will succeed in raising the wheel onto the curb when the force is applied (a) at the center of the wheel and (b) at the top of the wheel? (c) In which case is less force required?

.) The figure shows a vertical force applied tangentially to a uniform cylinder of weight F. The coefficient of static friction between the cylinder P and all surfaces is 0.500. The force P is increased in magnitude until the cylinder begins to rotate. In terms of F, find the maximum force magnitude P that can be applied without causing the cylinder to rotate. Suggestion: show that both friction forces will be at their maximum values when the cylinder is on the verge of slipping.
A bicycle wheel has a diameter of 64.9 cm and a mass of 1.86 kg. Assume that the wheel is a hoop with all of the mass concentrated on the outside radius.

N(b) What force is required if you shift to a 5.67-cm-diameter sprocket? N
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.
