Question
You and a friend are raising a beam, but your friend's rope is too short so you lift him off the ground. At the current time, everything is static. The tension in your cord is 1045.6 N, the mass of the beam is 15 kg, and the mass of your friend is 85 kg. The length of the beam is 4.9 m, d = 3.9 m, theta = 43.5 degrees, phi = 62.5 degrees. If you choose the base of the beam as the origin, and the positive torque direction as counter-clockwise, what is the torque from your cord on the friend+beam system?

The rods are attached at a fixed 90° angle such that the endpoint of the long rod touches the middle of the short rod; see the figure below. The mass per unit length of the rods is constant. The system can move in a vertical plane (x, y) with the endpoint O of the long rod fixed, so that the system is free to oscillate in the vertical plane about the point O. Gravity acts along the vertical y direction. 0 d a) How many degrees of freedom does the system have? [Expect to use a line to answer this question.] â b) Calculate the moment of inertia of the system constituted by the rods about an axis orthog- onal to the plane (x, y) and passing through O. Assume that the widths of the rods are negligible, so that you can effectively treat them as one-dimensional objects.

- The figure shows a person wearing weight boots and doing lower leg flexion/extension exercise in a sitting position to strengthen the quadriceps muscles and a simple mechanical model of his leg. W1 is the weight of the lower leg, W0 is the weight of the boot, the magnitude of the pulling force applied to the tibia by the quadriceps muscles through the FM patellar tendon, the magnitude of the reaction force acting on the FJ tibiofemoral joint. Point O is the center of the tibiofemoral joint, point A is the point where the patellar tendon attaches to the tibia, point B is the center of gravity of the lower leg, point C is the center of gravity of the weight boot. The distances between point O and points A, B and C were measured as a=13 cm, b=27 cm and c=36 cm, respectively. The angle that the long axis of the tibia makes with the horizontal is β=34°, the angle between the line of action of the quadriceps muscle strength and the long axis of the tibia is α=18°.

A moment and force both acts as shown in the figure where M = 8t2+5 N.m and F = 60 N. Find the velocity of mass C after 2 seconds.arrow_forwardThe figure on the left, below, shows a non-uniform bent rod with a mass of 5 kg. Your job is to determine the location of the center of gravity of this rod. You design an experiment: you connect a pin and cable to the rod such that it safely stays in static equilibrium under a force P that you apply. Then, you apply forces between 0-100 N, and measure the tension force on the cable using a cable tension meter. The results of your experiment are shown in the figure, on the right. Using this experiment, calculate (approximately) the horizontal distance (x in the figure) between point A and the center of gravity G of the bent rod.
