10kg rigid beam that is 3mlong is supported at each end. An8kg block is placed 2m fromsupport 1. How much upward forcedoes each support provide to ensurezero acceleration and zero torque?Note, if an object is not rotating, itis not rotating about every axis.
If the biceps brachii, attaching to the radius 2.5 cm from the elbow joint, produces 250 Nof tension perpendicular to the bone, and the triceps brachii, attaching 3 cm away fromthe elbow joint, exerts 200 N of tension perpendicular to the bone, how much net torqueis present at the joint? Will there be flexion, extension, or no movement at the joint? Is thetorque concentric or eccentric?
A uniform rod of mass M and length L is initially horizontal, with its left end resting on the edge of atable, and its right end being held by your hand. Suddenly, you let go of the rod. Right after its release: (a) Find thethe torque on the rod calculated about its left end. (b) What is its angular acceleration α = ̈φ about its left end?(c) Determine the vertical acceleration of the rod’s center of mass. (d) Based on the previous part, what is the normal force exerted by the table on the rod? (It might help to know that the rotational inertia of a uniform rod, rotated about one end, is I = M L2/3, and that L = Iω.)
