A construction worker attempts to lift a uniform beam off the floor and raise it to a vertical position. The beam is 2.50 m long and weighs 500 N. At a certain instant the worker holds the beam momentarily at rest with one end at distance d = 1.50 m above the floor, as shown in Fig. 12-75, by exerting a force

- Problem 19 A uniform ladder is 10 m long and weighs 200 N. The ladder leans against a vertical, frictionless wall at heighth 8.0 m above the ground. A horizontal force Fis applied to the ladder at distance d = 2.0m from its base (measured along the ladder). أ (a) If the force magnitude is F = 50 N, what is the necessary friction (magnitude and direction) on the floor to keep the ladder stable? (b) Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the ladder is 0.5, find the maximum magnitude of force F just before the ladder starts to move.arrow_forwardQuestion 23 of 32 The bones of the forearm (radius and ulna) are hinged to the humerus at the elbow. The biceps muscle connects to the bones of the forearm about 2.15 cm beyond the joint. Biceps muscle Assume the forearm has a mass of 2.15 kg and a length of 0.405 m.
