Chapter 5, Problem 17SP
A force of 1000 N is applied downward at the right end of a 1.50-m long, essentially weightless horizontal crowbar. The bar is pivoted on a rock 1.25 m from the right end. What is the maximum amount of weight that can be supported on the left end before the bar moves? [Hint: Draw a diagram. Watch out for significant figures.]

A 15.7 m long board is supported from beneath at two locations. One is at the far left end of the board. The other is 1.2 m from the right end of the board. The board has a mass of 39.7 kg. What is the normal force (in newtons) applied by the right support?
A beam rests on a fulcrum, 2.3 meters from one end. A weight of 444 kg is suspended from this end causing the beam to balance. If the weight of 444 is suspended on the opposite end of the beam, it is necessary to suspend a 2733 kg weight on the first end in order to effect an even balance. Use g = 9.81 m/s2.
Find the length of the beam.

- It's exciting watching the construction and renovation happening in Uptown Columbus! On one construction site, you notice that a uniform beam of length 13.6 m and mass 47.9 kg is attached to a wall by a cable. The angle between the cable and the beam is 59.5°. The beam is free to pivot about the point where it attaches to the wall. What is the tension in the cable, if the beam is not moving? Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardA 10.0-kg monkey climbs a uniform ladder with weight w = 1.09 ✕ 102 N and length L = 3.40 m as shown in the figure below. The ladder rests against the wall at an angle of ? = 60°. The upper and lower ends of the ladder rest on frictionless surfaces, with the lower end fastened to the wall by a horizontal rope that is frayed and that, can support a maximum tension of only 80.0 N.arrow_forwardA hungry bear weighing 85.0 kg walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of food hanging at the end of the beam. The beam is uniform, has a mass of 20.0 kg, is 8.00 m long, and pivoted at the wall; the basket weighs 10.0 kg. If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 900 N, what is the maximum distance that the bear can walk before the wire breaks? ←x 60.0⁰ Goodiesarrow_forward
