Chapter 9, Problem 91P
A thin rod extends from x = 0 to x = L. It carries a nonuniform mass per unit length μ = Mxa/L1+a, where M is a constant with units of mass, and a is a non-negative dimensionless constant. Find expressions for (a) the rod’s mass and (b) the location of its center of mass. (c) Are your results what you expect when a = 0?

A small box of mass m₁ is sitting on a board of mass m₂ and length L (Figure 1). The
board rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the
board and the box is μg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the board and the box
is, as usual, less than μg.
Throughout the problem, use g for the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration. In the hints,
use f for the magnitude of the friction force between the board and the box.

Your friend is helping you so that the ladder does not collapse by exerting a force FAL at an angle ϕ relative to the horizontal. See the diagram below.The ladder has a length L and makes an angle of θ with respect to the vertical wall. You have a mass, mY, and are a horizontal distance x from the wall. The ladder has a mass of mL. Because the wall is slick, and the ice on the floor is slick, the frictional forces acting on the ladder are negligible. Find a formula for the magnitude of the force that your friend must exert to keep the ladder from falling, in terms of the following variables: x,L,mY,mL,θ,ϕ. Then use the following values to get a number for the magnitude of FAL θ = 34.4 degreesϕ = 26.144 degreesx = 1.612 metersL = 6.2 metersmY = 98.0 kgmL = 32.34 kgarrow_forwardChapter 12, Problem 031 In the figure, a nonuniform bar is suspended at rest in a horizontal position by two massless cords as shown in the figure here.
