A solid sphere, made of acrylic plastic with a density of 1.1 g/cm3,1.1 g/cm3, has a radius of 5.0 cm.5.0 cm. A very small "eyelet" is screwed into the surface of the sphere and a horizontal support rod is passed through the eyelet, allowing the sphere to pivot around this fixed axis, as shown in the figure. If the sphere is displaced slightly from equilibrium on the surface of Earth, determine the period ?T of its harmonic motion when it is released.

You’re carrying a 3.6-m-long, 25 kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pole on a fence post and hold the other end of the pole 35 cm from its tip. How much force must you exert to keep the pole motionless in a horizontal position?

- To get up on the roof, a person (mass 82.0 kg) places a 6.60 m aluminum ladder (mass 11.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3 m from the bottom.

Ant-Man's mass is m₁ = 80.0 kg, but he is small enough to be treated as a point particle. The plank (m₂ = 11.7 kg) has a length of L = 2.44 m, with the left end flush against the edge of the left pillar. The separation distance between the pillars is d 1.50 m. T Suppose that Ant-Man walks far enough out from the right pillar so that the plank is just about to start rotating. What will be the magnitude of the force from each of the pillars on the plank at this time? (Hint: begin your analysis by thinking about the torques acting on the plank, and note that the forces from the two pillars are not the same.) How far out from the right pillar could Ant-Man walk before the plank starts to rotate?arrow_forward

The tab pivots on a central bolt in the can’s top.When you pull upward on one end of the tab, the other end presses downward on a portion of the can’s top that has been scored. If you pull upward with a 10 N force, what force magnitude acts on the scored section?

- You have a cylinder. You don't know what its internal structure looks like, but you plan to roll it down a ramp, as in this week's procedure. The ramp is 1 m long, and is elevated at an angle of 15°.

Wind blowing on the top of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque. Suppose a tree's canopy presents an area of 9.0 m2m2 to the wind centered at a height of 7.0 mm above the ground. (These are reasonable values for forest trees. *Part A If the wind blows at 6.5 m/sm/s, what is the magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy? Assume a drag coefficient of 0.50 and the density of air of 1.2 kg/m3kg/m3. Express your answer with the appropriate units. *Part B What torque does this force exert on the tree, measured about the point where the trunk meets the ground?

- A tree contractor has been hired by a homeowner to remove a damaged tree from a previous storm. The top of the tree broke off, leaving the trunk in the ground. The arborist will remove the tree by attaching a rope near the top and cutting the base close to the ground. The scenario is shown in the figure. The distances in the figure are z = 12.0 m, h y = 4.83 m and x = 11.96 m. If the arborist pulls on the rope with a force of magnitude F = 35.1 N, write the expression for the torque 7 with respect to the base P of the tree using ijk unit vector notation, 7 = txi + Tyj + T₂k where Tx, Ty, and Tz are the values of the torque components in the x-, y-, and z-directions, respectively. = 1.45 m, k P X T harrow_forwardA diver dives from a cliff when her center of gravity is 46 feet above the surface of the water.
