The figure on the left, below, shows a non-uniform bent rod with a mass of 5 kg. Your job
is to determine the location of the center of gravity of this rod. You design an experiment:
you connect a pin and cable to the rod such that it safely stays in static equilibrium under
a force P that you apply. Then, you apply forces between 0-100 N, and measure the tension
force on the cable using a cable tension meter. The results of your experiment are shown
in the figure, on the right. Using this experiment, calculate (approximately) the horizontal
distance (x in the figure) between point A and the center of gravity G of the bent rod.

Please provide detailed working/explaination why the two images might be true/false regarding static equilibrium?
Since the sum of the torques must be zero you are free to choose any pivot point to find each torque.
To solve static equilibrium problems, you apply the following process.
Isolate the object that is in equilibrium
Draw a pseudo-real diagram showing forces and where they act.
Choose a good pivot point and a good coordinate system.
Generate the sum of torques and sum of forces equations.
Maths bit – using these equations to solve for the desired quantity
Assess – once you have an answer ask does this make sense?
Which of the following statements about static equilibrium are true?
or the spring system given in Figure 1, create the clement matrices as well as the global stiffness and force matrix,

- Torque Problem The diagram below shows the lower leg being held in a stationary. The torque acting to turn the leg in a clockwise direction is being generated by the weight of the leg and the weight of a barbel attached to the ankle. Using the information provided calculate the magnitude of the quadriceps force. LOWER LEG IN ANGULAR EQUILIBRIUM 15° Quadriceps muscle force 0.05m 0.14 m 50° 0.30m 90 Newtons 120 Newtons Show your calculations step by step here. Includes diagrams and short comments to explain your approach to solving the problem.arrow_forwardFree body diagram Draw the free body diagram (FBD) for this system. To draw the free body diagram, we assume that the bar is displaced a small amount in the positive direction of 0. Important: For the free body diagram, the forces also need to be labelled! You can draw the forces by clicking the application point (letters) and dragging or using the drop down with the 'draw' button. If you drew them by clicking and dragging, click the force vector to label it from the dropdown menu above. If the label on the force doesn't appear on the diagram, you haven't quite done it right and the question will keep getting graded as incorrect even if you have the correct arrows. Fs k2 Fry Fg k1 Frx Equation of Motion Since the bar undergoes rotational motion, Newton's second law is written by writing a sum of moments around the pivot point (sum of moments cause rotational motion).

Figure C1.2 shows a mechanism that is typical in the tank of a water closet. Note that flapper C is hollow and filled with trapped air. Carefully examine the configuration of the components in the mechanism. Then answer the following leading questions to gain insight into the operation of the mechanism. 1. As the handle A is rotated counterclockwise, what is the motion of flapper C? 2. When flapper C is raised, what effect is seen? 3. When flapper C is lifted, it tends to remain in an upward position for a period of time. What causes this tendency to keep the flapper lifted? 4. When will this tendency (to keep flapper C lifted) cease Plz connect me if you want to explan subject for me .... +962 79180149 Thxarrow_forward
- The figure shows a person wearing weight boots and doing lower leg flexion/extension exercise in a sitting position to strengthen the quadriceps muscles and a simple mechanical model of his leg.
