A lunch tray is being held in one hand, as the figure illustrates. The mass of the tray itself is 0.237 kg. and its center of gravity is located at its geometrical center. On the tray is a 1.19-kg plate of food and a 0.241-kg cup of coffee. Obtain (a) the force 7 exerted by the thumb and (b) the force exerted by the four fingers. Both forces act perpendicular to the tray, which is being held parallel to the ground.

It is sometimes important to determine the location of a person’s center of gravity(which coincides with the center of mass because the gravitational force is uniform at the scale of the human body). This can be done with the arrangement shown intheFigure below. A light (negligible mass) plank rests on two scales that read Fg1=380 N and Fg2=320 N. The scales are separated by a distance of 2.00 m. How far from the woman’s feet is her center of gravity?
Two masses with mass mA = 3.220 kg and mB = 22.81 kg, respectively, hang with a massless line over an inhomogeneous pulley with mass mC = 41.81 kg. The mass center of the pulley is located in the middle of the pulley. The pulley is attached with a frictionless bearing in the middle. g = 9,806 m / s². If mass A accelerates upwards by 5.75 m/s², what force then acts on the suspension of the inhomogeneous pulley?
A large airplane typically has three sets of wheels: one at the front and two farther back, one on each side under the wings. Consider the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner", with a mass of 175000 kg. In this particular model, the distance from the front wheels to the rear set of wheels is 19.5 m (b) How much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on the front set of wheels?
A 20.4 kg mass (m) is suspended by the cable assembly as shown in the figure. The cables have no mass of their own. The cable to the left (T) of the mass makes an angle of 0.00° with the horizontal, and the cable to the right (T2) makes an angle (02) of 30.1°. If the mass is at rest, what is the tension in each of the cables, T and T2? The acceleration due to gravity T, T, is g = 9.81 m/s². N T1 = m N T2 =
