The center of gravity of the nonuniform plank is 50.0 cmcm from the right end. What mass of sand should be put into the box so that the plank balances horizontally on a fulcrum placed just below its midpoint?
Sir Lancelot rides slowly out of the castle at Camelot and
onto the 12.0-m-long drawbridge that passes over the moat
(Figure 1). Unbeknownst to him, his enemies have partially
severed the vertical cable holding up the front end of the
bridge so that it will break under a tension of 5.80 x 103 N.
The bridge has mass 200 kg and its center of gravity is at its
center. Lancelot, his lance, his armor, and his horse together
have a combined mass of 600 kg.

- Ruby, with mass 55.0 kg, is trying to reach a box on a high shelf by standing on her tiptoes. In this position, half her weight is supported by the normal force exerted by the floor on the toes of each foot as shown in Figure P14.75A. This situation can be modeled mechanically by representing the force on Rubys Achilles tendon with FA and the force on her tibia as FT as shown in Figure P14.75B. What is the value of the angle and the magnitudes of the forces FA and FT? FIGURE P14.75arrow_forwardA uniform beam resting on two pivots has a length L = 6.00 m and mass M = 90.0 kg. The pivot under the left end exerts a normal force n1 on the beam, and the second pivot located a distance = 4.00 m from the left end exerts a normal force n2. A woman of mass m = 55.0 kg steps onto the left end of the beam and begins walking to the right as in Figure P10.28. The goal is to find the womans position when the beam begins to tip. (a) What is the appropriate analysis model for the beam before it begins to tip? (b) Sketch a force diagram for the beam, labeling the gravitational and normal forces acting on the beam and placing the woman a distance x to the right of the first pivot, which is the origin. (c) Where is the woman when the normal force n1 is the greatest? (d) What is n1 when the beam is about to tip? (e) Use Equation 10.27 to find the value of n2 when the beam is about to tip. (f) Using the result of part (d) and Equation 10.28, with torques computed around the second pivot, find the womans position x when the beam is about to tip.
