Question 5

5. Repeat the above procedure away from the wall and (hopefully) success is achieved. What changed? Pay attention to how your body moves. 

2. The planks shown below are all of the same mass and length. They are positioned on top of a wedge so
that they are free to rotate. Rank the images below from largest to smallest torque generated by the
plank's center of mass. Assume the largest is the one with the most "clockwise" torque, while the
smallest is the most counter-clockwise.

4. Perform the following task. Stand so that you are facing a wall. Position your feet so that your toes are
touching the wall where meets the floor. While maintaining this position try to go up on your toes ("tip-
toe" style). Describe what happens. Discuss rotation.
