Problem B3. A solid cylinder is supported on an inclined plane by a chord parallel to the plane at a distance of above the radius of the cylinder. The cylinder has a 3 radius of 2.00 m, its mass is 20.0 kg, and the inclined plane has an inclination of 20°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the cylinder and the plane is 0.20 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.30. The cylinder remains in static equilibrium. d= 3 20° Figure B3. Problem diagram B3 c) Determine the tension in the rope.

A uniform ladder stands on a rough floor and rests against a frictionless wall as shown in the figure. N2 mg d b Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a normal force N, and a frictional force f, on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force N, on the ladder. The ladder has a length of L = 4.70 m, a weight of W = 68.0 N, and rests against the wall a distance d = 3.75 m above the floor. If a person with a mass of m = 90 kg is standing on the ladder, determine the following. (a) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is halfway up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.) N1 N2 = f1 %3D (b) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is three-fourths of the way up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.) N1 = N N2 = f1

A beam with length of 2 m and a mass of 10 kg supports a 50 kg box. The beam is connected to a wall by a hinge at its base and a horizontal wire. The wire is connected to the beam 1.5 m from the hinge and makes an angle θ of 35o to the beam. The goal is to find the tension in the wire and the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the hinge on the board. A. In order to find the tension in the string, which point should we select to write ?(a)Top left end of the beam(b)Point where wire is connected to the beam.(c)Middle of the beam (where mg acts).Bottom right end of the beam(d) Use the point you identified in C to calculate the tension in the string.
Chapter 12, Problem 037 GO In the figure, a uniform plank, with a length L of 6.83 m and a weight of 386 N, rests on the ground and against a frictionless roller at the top of a wall of height h = 2.78 m. The plank remains in equilibrium for any value of e = 70.0° or more, but slips if e < 70.0°. Find the coefficient of static friction between the plank and the ground.
