Chapter 7, Problem 4CQ
If you are using a wrench to loosen a very stubborn nut, you can make the job easier by using a “cheater pipe.” This is a piece of pipe that slides over the handle of the wrench, as shown in Figure Q7.4, making it effectively much longer. Explain why this would help you loosen the nut.

Q2. In Figure Q2, ropes AB and AC are tied at point A which is 5 m from the base of the tree,
O. The tensions in ropes AB and AC are 100 N and 120 N, respectively. The coordinates of
points B and C are given in the figure. Solve for the magnitude of moment about point o due
to the forces exerted on the tree.

Figure Q2
The chewing muscle,
the masseter, is one of the stron-
gest in the human body. It is
attached to the mandible (lower
jawbone) as shown in Figure P8.33a. The jawbone is pivoted
about a socket just in front of the auditory canal. The forces
acting on the jawbone are equivalent to those acting on the
curved bar in Figure P8.33b. F. is the force exerted by the
food being chewed against the jawbone, T is the force of ten-
sion in the masseter, and R is the force exerted by the socket
on the mandible. Find T and R for a person who bites down
on a piece of steak with a force of 50.0 N.

You use a wrench to turn a rusty nut. You place your hand at where the black dot is and apply a
force F = 110N at an angle 0 = 59 degrees. The distance from your hand to the center of nut d
