The fishing pole in Figure P10.22 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 anglers hand if the fish pulls on the fishing line with a force F=100N at an angle 37.0 below the horizontal? The force is applied at a point 2.00 m from the anglers hands. Figure P10.22

Alice is going on a picnic and is aware that it will be easier to carry the picnic basket if it balances at the center where the handle is attached. She has placed a 1.55-kg container of potato salad at one end and a 0.725-kg package of hot dogs at the other end of a 52.0-cm long basket. Determine where she should place a 1.85-kg container of lemonade so that the basket balances at its center.

Bob and Anna sit on opposite ends of a uniform see-saw which is 12.0 m in length. The see-saw is balanced by a fulcrum which is located 4.00 m from Bob. Bob has a mass of 85.0 kg, and the see-saw itself has a mass of 100 kg. Anna’s mass is unknown. NOTE THAT THE FULCRUM IS NOT PLACED AT THE CENTER OF MASS OF THE SEESAW!!! a) What is the net torque on the see-saw? Explain clearly and briefly how you know. b) Draw a properly labeled extended force diagram of the see-saw. c) Solve for Anna’s mass.
