Chapter 5, Problem 20SP
As depicted in Fig. 5-13, two people sit in a car that weighs 8000 N. The person in front weighs 700 N, while the one in the back weighs 900 N. Call L the distance between the front and back wheels. The car’s center of gravity is a distance 0.400L behind the front wheels. How much force does each front wheel and each back wheel support if the people are seated along the centerline of the car?

A rectangular block twice as high as it is wide is resting on a board. The coefficient of static friction between board and incline is 0.63. If the board’s inclination angle is gradually increased, will the block first tip over or first begin sliding?
the center of gravity of the crate is at a height of 3.5ft and a distance 1.5ft from the forward edge as shown. the crate weighs 300lbf. what is the maximum coefficient of friction μ between the ground and the crate, to be able to slide the crate without tipping it over
When you lift an object by moving only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm with hand is 1.60 kg. If the biceps is connected to the forearm a distance of 2.1 cm from the elbow, how much force must the biceps exert to hold a 46 N ball at the end of the forearm at distance of 36.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor, in Newtons? Use g = 10.0 m/s2.
Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
