- To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places a 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 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 of the forces on the ladder at the top and bottom?arrow_forwardBIO When a gymnast performing on the rings executes the iron cross, he maintains the position at rest shown in Figure P10.85a. In this maneuver, the gymnasts feet (not shown) are off the floor. The primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (lats) and the pectoralis major (pecs). One of the rings exerts an upward fore Fh on a hand as shown in Figure P10.85b. The force Fs is exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm. The latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major muscles exert a total force Fm on the arm. (a) Using the information in the figure, find the magnitude of the force Fm. (b) Suppose an athlete in training cannot perform the iron cross but can hold a position similar to the figure in which the arms make a 45 angle with the horizontal rather than being horizontal. Why is this position easier for the athlete? Figure P10.85arrow_forwardThe fishing pole in Figure P10.22 makes an angle of 20.0 with the horizontal. What is the torque exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the anglers hand if the fish pulls on the fishing line with a force F=100N at an angle 37.0 below the horizontal? The force is applied at a point 2.00 m from the anglers hands. Figure P10.22arrow_forward
