A very small "eyelet" is screwed into the surface of the sphere and a horizontal support rod is passed through the eyelet, allowing the sphere to pivot around this fixed axis, as shown in the figure. If the sphere is displaced slightly from equilibrium on the surface of Earth, determine the period ?T of its harmonic motion when it is released.
Review Conceptual Example 7 before starting this problem. A uniform plank of length 5.0 m and weight 225 N rests horizontally on
two supports, with 1.1 m of the plank hanging over the right support (see the drawing). To what distance x can a person who weighs
375 N walk on the overhanging part of the plank before it just begins to tip?

- You’re carrying a 3.6-m-long, 25 kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pole on a fence post and hold the other end of the pole 35 cm from its tip. How much force must you exert to keep the pole motionless in a horizontal position?arrow_forwardTo get up on the roof, a person (mass 82.0 kg) places a 6.60 m aluminum ladder (mass 11.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3 m from the bottom. What are the magnitudes (in N) of the forces on the ladder at the top and bottom? top N bottom Narrow_forwardDetermine (a) the tension in the cable and (b) the horizon- 11. Sir Lost-a-Lot dons his armor and sets out from the castle on his trusty steed (Fig. P12.11). Usually, the drawbridge is low- ered to a horizontal position so that the end of the bridge rests on the stone ledge. Unfortunately, Lost-a-Lot's squire didn't lower the drawbridge far enough and stopped it at 0 = 20.0° above the horizontal. The knight and his horse stop when their combined center of mass is d = 1.00 m from the end of the bridge. The uniform bridge is e = long and has mass 2 000 kg. The lift cable is attached to the bridge 5.00 m from the hinge at the castle end and to 4 point on the castle wall h = 12.0 m above the bridge.

- Beverage engineering. The pull tab was a major advance in the engineering design of beverage containers. The tab pivots on a central bolt in the can’s top.When you pull upward on one end of the tab, the other end presses downward on a portion of the can’s top that has been scored. If you pull upward with a 10 N force, what force magnitude acts on the scored section? (You will need to examine a can with a pull tab.)arrow_forwardA diving board of length 4.00 m is supported at a point 1.50 m from the end, and a diver weighing 500 N stands at the free end. The horizontal diving board is supported at the point 1.50 meter away from its left end. A diver stands at the free end (the right end), which is 2.50 meters away from the point where the board is supported. The diving board is of uniform cross section and weighs 400 N.

- We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque. Suppose a tree's canopy presents an area of 9.0 m2m2 to the wind centered at a height of 7.0 mm above the ground. (These are reasonable values for forest trees. *Part A If the wind blows at 6.5 m/sm/s, what is the magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy? Assume a drag coefficient of 0.50 and the density of air of 1.2 kg/m3kg/m3. Express your answer with the appropriate units. *Part B What torque does this force exert on the tree, measured about the point where the trunk meets the ground? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardA 1,467.124 N painter needs to climb d=3.058 m up a ladder (measured along its length from the point where the ladder contacting the ground), without the ladder slipping. The uniform ladder is 7.485 m long and weighs 250 N. It rests with one end on the ground and the other end against a perfectly smooth vertical wall. The ladder rises at an angle of theta=39.659 degrees above the horizontal floor. What is friction force in unit of N that the floor must exert on the ladder? Use g = 10 m/s2 if you need to .arrow_forwardA tree contractor has been hired by a homeowner to remove a damaged tree from a previous storm. The top of the tree broke off, leaving the trunk in the ground. The arborist will remove the tree by attaching a rope near the top and cutting the base close to the ground. The scenario is shown in the figure. The distances in the figure are z = 12.0 m, h y = 4.83 m and x = 11.96 m. If the arborist pulls on the rope with a force of magnitude F = 35.1 N, write the expression for the torque 7 with respect to the base P of the tree using ijk unit vector notation, 7 = txi + Tyj + T₂k where Tx, Ty, and Tz are the values of the torque components in the x-, y-, and z-directions, respectively. = 1.45 m, k P X T harrow_forward
