Question
A woman whose weight is 418 N is poised at the right end of a diving board with a length of 8.95 m. The board has negligible weight and is bolted down at the left end while being supported 2.55 m away by a fulcrum. Find force that the fulcrum exerts in the board. Note: Express your answer in whole numbers.

A box of mass 38.4 kg sits on the bar at a distance of 2.4 m from the left end. The right end of the bar is supported by a cable with a 477.81 N of tension that is also attached to the building. The angle between the cable and the bar is 34.9°. Determine the Fv, the vertical force on the bar by the wall (in N).arrow_forward
- A uniform beam with a length of 2.50 meters and a mass of 85.0 kg rests on two ropes. A person of mass 65.0 kg is standing on the far right end of the beam. The beam is not moving.Calculate the tension in the rope on the left, in Newtons (N).Calculate the tension in the rope on the right, in Newtons (N).arrow_forwardA uniform beam has a length of 15.2 m and a mass of 37.3 kg. The beam is horizontal and resting (in equilibrium) on two supports. One of the supports is located 4.09m to the right of the beam's center of mass. The second support is located 1.96 m to the left of the beam's center of mass. How much upward force is exerted on the beam by the first support?arrow_forwardA uniform beam of length L = 11.7 meters and mass of 109.3 kg is pinned at one end and is being supported by a wire as shown. The wire is connected to the beam x = 3.3 meters from the pin. A person of mass 81.6 kg is standing all the way out on the edge of the beam. If θ = 17.3 degrees and φ = 79.4 degrees, what is the tension in the wire?arrow_forward
- A hiker, who weighs 659 N, is strolling through the woods and crosses a small horizontal bridge. The bridge is uniform, weighs 4280 N, and rests on two concrete supports, one on each end. He stops 1/5 of the way along the bridge. What is the magnitude of the force that a concrete support exerts on the bridge (a) at the near end and (b) at the far end?arrow_forwardA 4.00 meter long uniform ladder with mass 10.0 kilograms leans against a wall, making an angle of 60 degrees with the floor. A person, who has a mass of 60 kilogams, stangs exactly halfway up the ladder. The wall is frictionless. The friction between the bottom of the ladder and the floor keeps the ladder from slipping. Find the magnitude and direction of the force that acts on the bottom of the ladder.arrow_forward
