At the moment before a diver jumps from a diving board, a force of 1300 N is exerted on the diver at an angle of 90.0° to the board. This force produces a torque in the clockwise direction. At the same time, the diver's weight produces a torque in the counterclockwise direction. The diver's mass is 70.0 kg, and the angle between the diver's weight and the board is 87.7°. If the net torque acting on the diver is 2985 N•m clockwise, what is the length of the diving board?

A student sits on a freely rotating stool holding two dumbbells, each of mass 3.00 kg (Fig. P10.56). When his arms are extended horizontally (Fig. P10.56a), the dumbbells are 1.00 m from the axis of rotation and the student rotates with an angular speed of 0.750 rad/s.

Figure P10.82 shows a vertical force applied tangentially to a uniform cylinder of weight Fg. The coefficient of static friction between the cylinder and all surfaces is 0.500. The force P is increased in magnitude until the cylinder begins to rotate. In terms of Fg, find the maximum force magnitude P that can be applied without causing the cylinder to rotate. Suggestion: Show that both friction forces will be at their maximum values when the cylinder is on the verge of slipping. Figure P10.82
