The boom is pivoted at the bottom, and a 2000-N weight hands from its top. Find the tension in the cable and the components of the reaction force exerted on the boom by the floor. For the next two parts you can assume that the 2000-N weight is concentrated at the top end of the boom. b. Determine the total moment of inertia of the boom/weight system around the pivot point. c. The cable now breaks, and the boom pivots until the right end hits the floor. Determine the velocity of the right end at the instant before it hits the floor.arrow_forward

The center of mass for the weight of the skull is labeled W and the muscles that attach to the back of the skull are labeled M. Assume all quantities are correct to 2 significant figures. M W a) Determine the mechanical advantage of the skull muscles when d₁ 20 mm and d₂ = 26 mm. Hint: Which force on the fulcrum (rotation point) is the effort, and which is the load? Enter to 2 significant figures Mechanical Advantage: b) Improper posture and positioning of the head can lead to muscle tension headaches. If the head begins to shift forward while studying or reading, the center of mass moves further from the fulcrum or pivot point. It is a subtle change, but the figure below shows the head shifted forward. The center of mass for the weight of the skull is labeled W and the muscles that attach to the back of the skull are labeled M. Determine the new mechanical advantage of the skull muscles when d₁ = 16 mm…arrow_forward
