Question
An object that weighs 1180 N rests on a lever at a point 0.390 m from a support. On the same side of the support, at a distance of 3.00 m from it, an upward force with magnitude F is applied. Ignore the weight of the board itself. If the system is in equilibrium, what is F? Express your answer in Newtons.
where P = 1180 and x = 0.390.

The ladder makes a 59.0°-angle with the horizontal. A. Find the horizontal and vertical forces (in N) the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when an 810-N firefighter has climbed 4.10 m along the ladder from the bottom. B. If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is 9.40 m from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground? C. If oil is spilled on the ground, causing the coefficient of static friction to drop to half the value found in part (b), what is the maximum distance (in m) the firefighter can climb along the ladder from the bottom before the ladder slips?arrow_forward
- Directions: Assume, unless otherwise specified, that all numbers have at least 3 significant figures. F (N) Students collect data, see graph, for the force involved in stretching a rubber band. The data is well fit by the equation F = 33.65 x0.4971, 12 10 where F is in newtons and x is in meters. One end of the rubber band is attached to a stationary vertical rod and the other end to a 0.3 kg mass. The mass rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The mass is pulled back such that the rubber band is stretched by 0.8 m from its unstretched length and then released from rest. 4. x (m) 0,1 0.02 0.04 0.06 0.08 A.
