A 13.6 kg. 3.6 m long seesaw bar (assume that the bar is uniform) is perfectly balanced upon a support that is 0.2 m to the left of its center. There is a 6.5 kg block sitting on the far right side of the seesaw. How large of a mass do we need to place on the far left of the seesaw for it to be balanced?
A 60 kg uniform board 2.4 m long is supported by a pivot d=80 cm from the left end. How far from the left end should
a 41.6 kg child sit so that the board is balanced?
Answer:

A beam is connected to the floor by a hinge. A rope is attached to the other end of the beam. The other end of the rope is connected to the ceiling. There is box sitting on the beam (see figure).The angle between the beam and the floor is 8.60 degrees. The angle between the rope and the horizontal is 20.0 degrees. The beam is 4.00-m long and has a mass of 6.80 kg. The box sits a distance of d = 0.620 m from the upper end of the beam and has a mass of 8.00 kg. The tension in the rope is 205.7 N.What is the horizontal component of the force on the beam due to the hinge?

- We have two masses balanced on a centered beam on a fulcrum. If m1 = 10 kg, and m2 = 20 kg, what should the length of the lever arm, r2, be to keep everything balanced when r1 = 10 meters?arrow_forwardYou build a shelf by putting a 0.90 m board across two supports. One support is at the left end of the board and the other is 0.10 m from the right end. The board has a mass of 1.25 kg and you place a potted plant with a mass of 3.40 kg, 0.65 m from the left end of the board.arrow_forwardA homeowner is trying to move a stubborn rock from his yard. By using a a metal rod as a lever arm and a fulcrum (or pivot point) the homeowner will have a better chance of moving the rock. The homeowner places the fulcrum a distance ?=0.288 mfrom the rock, which has a mass of 465 kg, and fits one end of the rod under the rock's center of weight. If the homeowner can apply a maximum force of 671 N at the other end of the rod, what is the minimum total length ? of the rod required to move the rock? Assume that the rod is massless and nearly horizontal so that the weight of the rock and homeowner's force are both essentially vertical. The acceleration due to gravity is ?=9.81 m/s2.arrow_forward
