(a) Explanation Given info: The mass of the bat is 1.1 kg , the distance of the shoulder from the small end of the bat is 22.5 cm and the distance of the center of mass from the small end of the bat is 67.0 cm . The free body diagram shows the bat which is hold across his shoulder which is shown below. Figure (1) Apply Newton's second law of motion for torque about shoulder. ∑ τ = 0 F → h × 22.5 cm − m g × ( 67 cm − 22.5 cm ) Here, F → h is the force on the hand. m is the mass of the bat. g is the acceleration due to gravity. Substitute 1.1 kg for m and 9.81 m / s 2 for g in above equation to find force. [ ( F → h × 22.5 cm × 1 m 100 cm ) − ( 1 (b) To determine The magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the shoulder.

To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places a 6.00 m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against the plastic rain gutter which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2.00 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3.00 m from the bottom. What are the magnitudes of the forces on the ladder at the top and bottom?

To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places a 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house.
