Chapter 9, Problem 20PE
Suppose you needed to raise a 250-kg mower a distance of 6.0 cm above the ground to change a tire. If you had a 2.0-m long lever, where would you place the fulcrum if your force was limited to 300 N?

A large wood beam weighing 800 N is supported by two posts as shown. If an unthinking man
weighing 700 N were to walk on the overhang portion of the beam, how far can he go from point
A before the beam tips over? (Assume the beam is resting on the two supports with no physical
connection.)

A uniform plank of length 2.00m and mass 30.0kg is supported by three
ropes, as indicated by the blue vectors in figure p8.27. Find the tension in
each rope when a 700-N person is d=0.500m from the left end.
You build a shelf by putting a 0.90 m board across two supports. One support is at the left end of the
board and the other is 0.10 m from the right end. The board has a mass of 1.25 kg and you place a
potted plant with a mass of 3.40 kg, 0.65 m from the left end of the board.
