Question
A uniform, 255 N rod that is 1.90 mm long carries a 225 N weight at its right end and an unknown weight W toward the left end (Figure 1). When W is placed 60.0 cmcm from the left end of the rod, the system just balances horizontally when the fulcrum is located 75.0 cmcm from the right end.
Find W.
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
If W is now moved 20.0 cmcm to the right, how far must the fulcrum be moved to restore balance?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

- An approximate model for a ceiling fan consists of a cylindrical disk with four thin rods extending from the disk's center, as in the figure below. The disk has mass 2.30 kg and radius 0.200 m. Each rod has mass 0.850 kg and is 0.840 m long. HINT (a) Find the ceiling fan's moment of inertia about a vertical axis through the disk's center. (Enter your answer in kg. m².) kg - m² (b) Friction exerts a constant torque of magnitude 0.113 Nm on the fan as it rotates. Find the magnitude of the constant torque provided by the fan's motor if the fan starts from rest and takes 15.0 s and 16.5 full revolutions to reach its maximum speed. (Enter your answer in N. m.)

- The uniform seesaw shown below is balanced on a fulcrum located d1 = 3.5m from the left end. The bigger boy on the left end has a mass m1 =75 kg. The smaller boy on the right end has a mass of m2 = 55 kg and is a distance d2 = 4.5 m from the fulcrum. The mass of the board is mb. Draw all forces acting on the seesaw board showing their directions and locations. Where would you draw the weight of the board? Identify and show the direction of rotations caused by the torques provided by all forces about the fulcrum. If the seesaw is in static equilibrium, write down the two conditions of static equilibrium symbolically using the forces and distances in the figure. Solve for the mass of the board. Calculate the force of fulcrum on the board.arrow_forwardThe uniform solid block in the figure has mass 38.6 kg and edge lengths a = 0.543 m, b = 1.75 m, and c = 0.118 m.
