A child rests two branches against each other, as shown in the figure. There is enough friction between the branches and the ground to prevent them from slipping. The longer of the two branches is 1.6 m in length and has a mass of 4.0 kg; the shorter branch has a mass of 2.7 kg. The shorter branch makes an angle of 67° with the horizontal ground and an angle of 105° with the longer branch. Assume that the two branches are uniform and have circular ends. What must the coefficient of static friction between the two branches be so that the structure does not collapse?
You're carrying a 3.4-m-long, 24 kg pole to a construction site when you decide to stop for a rest. You place one end of the pole on a fence post and hold the other end of the pole 35 cm from its tip.
How much force must you exert to keep the pole motionless in a horizontal position?

They consume approximately 10% of their body weight in food each day, which for an adult male, can be 1000 lb. of vegetation! Their diet consists mostly of grasses, bamboo, tree bark, and fruit. They also like to dine on tree leaves. To reach them, they often stand up on their hind legs and extend their trunks (see the figure). The elephant in the figure is in equilibrium. The location of the elephant's center of mass is shown, and the axis of rotation has been chosen to correspond to the hip joint. The forces in the elephant's free-body diagram are shown, and there is a static friction force between the elephant's back feet and the ground. Use the following information and calculate the magnitude of the tension in the elephant's trunk T (m = 4540 kg, FN = rfs = 133 cm, rcg = 76.0 cm, r = 229 cm).
