Chapter 15, Problem 81PQ
A uniform wooden board of length L and mass M is hinged at the top of a vertical wall of a container partially filled with a certain liquid (Fig. P15.81). (If there were no liquid in the container, the board would hang straight down.) Three-fifths of the length of the board is submerged in the liquid when the board is in equilibrium. Find the ratio of the densities of the liquid and the board.

Slinky dog whose middle section is a giant spring with a spring constant of 10.9 N/m. Woody, who has a mass of 0.412 kg, grabs onto the tail end of Slink and steps off the bed with no initial velocity and reaches the floor right as his velocity hits zero again. How high is the bed? What is Woody’s velocity halfway down? Enter just the magnitude of velocity.

A positive charge of 91 is located 5.11 m to the left of a negative charge 92. The
charges have different magnitudes. On the line through the charges, the net
electric field is zero at a spot 2.90 m to the right of the negative charge. On this
line there are also two spots where the potential is zero. (a) How far to the left of
the negative charge is one spot? (b) How far to the right of the negative charge is
the other?
