A uniform beam of mass 0.250 kg and length 3.00 m rests on a smooth floor and leans against a rough vertical wall as shown in the figure below. A force F of magnitude 1.00 N is applied perpendicular to the beam three-fourths of the way up the beam. Determine the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the beam and the wall for the beam to remain in equilibrium. 75.0°
A traffic light hangs from a 7.2-m long beam (AB) that is attached to a pole by a hinge (A), as shown. A horizontal (massless) cable (CD) supports the beam, making a 37° angle. The cable is attached to the pole 3.8 m above the hinge. The mass of the beam is 12 kg, and the mass of the traffic light is 22 kg. What is the tension in the cable? Also, the hinge exerts a force— with both horizontal and vertical components— on the beam. Find the magnitude of this force.
A beam rests on a fulcrum, 2.0 meters from one end. A weight of 285 kg is suspended from this end causing the beam to balance. If the weight of 285 is suspended on the opposite end of the beam, it is necessary to suspend a 2611 kg weight on the first end in order to effect an even balance. Use g = 9.81 m/s2. Find the length of the beam.

The large quadriceps muscle in the upper leg terminates at its lower end in a tendon attached to the upper end of the tibia (see Figure a). The forces on the lower leg when the leg is extended are modeled as in Figure b, where T is the force of tension in the tendon, w is the force of gravity acting on the lower leg, and F is the force of gravity acting on the foot. Find T when the tendon is at an angle of 25.0° with the tibia, assuming that w = 29.O N, F = 12.3 N, and the leg is extended at an angle 6 of 40.0° with the vertical. Assume that the center of gravity of the lower leg is at its center and that the tendon attaches to the lower leg at a point one-fifth of the way down the leg. (Give the magnitude.)

A house painter stands 3.00 m above the ground on a 5.00-m-long ladder that leans against the wall at a point 4.70 m above the ground. The painter weighs (6.60x10^2) N and the ladder weighs (1.900x10^2) N.

A non-uniform beam has a length of 4.74 m and a mass of 63.7 kg. The beam is resting horizontally on two supports.
