Two Boy Scouts, Bobby and Jimmy, are carrying a uniform wooden tent pole 4.20 m in length and having mass m = 28.0 kg. Bobby is holding the pole 55.0 cm from the back, and Jimmy is holding the pole 45.0 cm from the front. If the pole is held horizontally by the two boys, what is the force Jimmy exerts on the beam?

A woman who weighs 5.00 x 102 Nis leaning against a smooth vertical wall, as the drawing shows. Find (a) the force FN(directed perpendicular to the wall) exerted on her shoulders by the wall and the (b) horizontal (F2) and (c) vertical components of the force (F1) exerted on her shoes by the ground. F1 and F2 are the two additional forces acting at the feet of the woman F1 F2 1.10 m 60.0 0.400m m Tip: Draw the free-body diagram with the three forces and get the Fnet = 0 along x and y, then get the net torque Tnet=0 with the pivot at the feet. You will get three equations.
As shown below, a beam of length L is in equilibrium and is attached to a cable which is pulling it against a frictionless wall. The beam is not attached to the wall and the wall is only exerting a normal force on the beam. Additionally, there is a 792 N box hanging on a wire from the end of the beam. Determine the cable tension & the beam weight. 0.86 L 45° 792 N tension= beam weight=
