- A 2.00-m-long, 500 kg steel uniform beam extends horizontally from the point where it has been bolted to the framework of a new building under construction. A 70 kg construction worker stands at the far end of the beam. What is the magnitude of the torque about the bolt due to the worker and the weight of the beam?arrow_forwardThe fishing pole in the figure below makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. What is the torque exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the angler's hand if the fish pulls on the fishing line with a force F with arrow = 90 N at an angle 37.0° below the horizontal? The force is applied at a point L = 2.20 m from the angler's hands.arrow_forwardTwo children of mass 25 kg and 26 kg sit balanced on a seesaw with the pivot point located at the center of the seesaw. If the children are separated by a distance of 3.0 m, at what distance, in meters, from the pivot point is the smaller child sitting in order to maintain the balance?arrow_forward
- The meterstick shown is 100 cm long. It is free to pivot around its center of gravity (CG), which is at the 50 cm mark. There is a 24.0 N block hanging from the 80 cm mark. Decide where each of the other blocks should be placed, one at a time, to balance out the 24.0 N block. At what mark on the meter stick would you place a 19.0 N block to balance the 24.0 N block? mark: At what mark on the meter stick would you place a 44.0 N block to balance the 24.0 N block? mark:arrow_forwardA 13.6 kg. 3.6 m long seesaw bar (assume that the bar is uniform) is perfectly balanced upon a support that is 0.2 m to the left of its center. There is a 6.5 kg block sitting on the far right side of the seesaw. How large of a mass do we need to place on the far left of the seesaw for it to be balanced?arrow_forwardA gymnast with a mass of 54 kg stands on the end of a uniform balance beam as shown in the figure.
