A construction worker attempts to lift a uniform beam off the floor and raise it to a vertical position. The beam is 1.88 m long and weighs 490 N. At a certain instant the worker holds the beam momentarily at rest with one end a distance d = 1.02 m above the floor, as shown in the figure, by exerting a force P→ on the beam. (a) What is the magnitude of P→? (b) What is the magnitude of the (net) force of the floor on the beam? (c) What is the minimum value the coefficient of static friction between beam and floor can have in order for the beam not to slip at this instant?

Center of Gravity of a system

The centre of gravity is a property that is based on the geometry of a rigid body or any particle. It is described as an equilibrium point or a hypothetical location where the total weight of the body is concentrated.
