In a 6.00-m-long, uniform beam is hanging from a point 1.00 mto the right of its center. The beam weighs 125 N and makes an angle of 30.0∘ with the vertical. At the right-hand end of the beam a 100.0 N weight is hung; an unknown weight whangs at the left end.
A. If the system is in equilibrium, what is w? You can ignore the thickness of the beam.
B. If the beam makes, instead, an angle of 45∘ with the vertical, what is w?

Figure shows a simplified model of the spine as a rod of length L that pivots at its lower end. In this model, the center of gravity of the 320 N weight of the upper torso is at the center of the spine. The 160 N weight of the head and arms acts at the top of the spine. The erector spinae muscles are modeled as a single muscle that acts at an 12° angle to the spine. Suppose the person shown bends over to an angle of 30° from the horizontal. a. What is the tension in the erector muscle? Hint: Align your x-axis with the axis of the spine.b. A force from the pelvic girdle acts on the base of the spine. What is the component of this force in the direction of the spine? (This large force is the cause of many back injuries).arrow_forwardThe figure shows a 4.20-kg, 1.80-m-long rod hinged to a vertical wall and supported by a thin wire.

- An 8.31-m, 267-N uniform ladder rests against a smooth (frictionless) wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.582, and the ladder makes a 52.6∘ angle with the ground. A 1092 N person is standing on the ladder a distance ?d from the bottom end of the ladder. How far up the ladder (distance ?) can the person climb before the ladder begins to slip? Hint: Among other things, you may want to look at the sum of the torques about the point where the ladder touches the floor?arrow_forwarda.
