Problem 4: You have been hired to design a family-friendly see-saw. Your design will feature a uniform board (mass M= 7 kg, length L = 3.1 m) that can be moved so that the pivot is a distance d from the center of the board. This will allow riders to achieve static equilibrium even if they are of different mass, as most people are. You have decided that each rider will be positioned so that his/her center of mass will be a distance xoffset = 16 cm from the end of the board when seated as shown. You have selected a child of mass mj = 29 kg (shown on the right), and an adult of mass m2 = 61 kg (shown on the left) to test out your prototype. Xffset Xoffset Part (a) Determine the distance d in meters. Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. d = Part (b) Determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the pivot point by the see-saw while in use in newtons. Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. FN =

I watched a lot of Looney Toons when I was a kid, and liked that the Roadrunners legs would spin for a second or two before their claws caught traction. a. With a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.2 what acceleration will the roadrunner experience while their feet are sliding accross the ground? b. How far forward will the roadrunner drift in a half second, starting from rest under this acceleration? c. After catching traction the Roadrunner accelerates away, travelling 10 m to get offscreen in one fifth of a second. What was their coefficient of static friction?

A sphere of mass 1.0 kg and radius 0.5 m is attached to the end of a massless rod of length 3.0 m. The rod rotates about an axis that is at the opposite end of the sphere (see below). The system rotates horizontally about the axis at a constant 400 rev/min. After rotating at this angular speed in a vacuum, air resistance is introduced and provides a force 0.15 N on the sphere opposite to the direction of motion. What is the power provided by air resistance to the system 100.0 s after air resistance is introduced?
