The net torque is minimal
The action of the force is instaneous
The net force vanishes
A trap door 120 cm by 120 cm is kept horizontal by a string attached to the mid-point of the side opposite to that containing the hinge. The other end of the string is tied to a point 90 cm vertically above the hinge. If the trap-door weight is 50 N, calculate the tension in the string and the reaction at the hinge. Describe an experiment to verify the law of conservation of linear momentum
A bar of length L= 2 m has linear density (mass per length) given by 1= 10+ 3x where x is the
distance from one end, measured in meters, and A is in grams/meter. You must carefully show
your work to get credit.
(a) What is the mass of the bar?
(b) How far from the x =
0 end is its center of mass?
