An object consists of a ball of weight W glued to the end of a uniform bar also of weight W. If you release it from rest, with the bar horizontal, what will its behavior be as it falls if air resistance is negligible? Will it (a) remain horizontal; (b) rotate about its center of gravity; (c) rotate about the ball; or (d) rotate so that the ball swings downward? Explain your reasoning.

Question 3(a) The non uniform XYZ bar which weighs 155 kg has its centre of gravity G at a distance 4 m from X. This bar rests on a homogeneous crate P. The static coefficient of friction between the bar and the crate is 0.31 while the same between the crate and the floor is 0.22. Determine the mass of the lightest crate P (in kilograms) that can be used to support this non uniform bar in the position shown in Figure 3. The height of the crate is 4.32 m and the length of the bar is 8.59 m. 4 m 3 m - 1 m - Figure 3 Question 3(b) Take an example from everyday life where you can identify the application of the concepts we learn in the "Dry friction" module. Sketch this example and discuss about the effect of friction on that particular scenario. Sketch does not have to be drawn to a scale. (Description should be 250 words or less).

please answer this question with explination. many thanks !

Please answer this question

As shown in the figure, a 1.5 kg box is held at rest against a spring with a force constant k = 755 N/m that is compressed a distance d. Equilibrium position rough patch 6.0 cm When the box is released, it slides across a surface that is frictionless, except for a rough patch that has a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.40 Hk and is 6.0 cm in length. If the speed of the box is 1.6 m/s after sliding across the rough patch, determine the initial compression d (in cm) of the spring. cm
