Unlimited Overhang Four identical textbooks, each of length L, are stacked near the edge of a table, as shown in Figure 9-45. The books are stacked in such a way that the distance they overhang the edge of the table, d, is maximized Find the maximum overhang distance d in terms of L In particular show that d > L that is. the top book is completely to the right of the table edge (In principle. the overhang distance d can be made as large as desired simply by increasing the number of books in the stack )

- In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?arrow_forwardA 12.0m boom, of a crane lifting a 3000kg load is shown below. The center of mass of the boom is at its geometric center, and the mass of the boom is 1000kg . For the position shown, calculate tension T in the cable and the force at the axle A.arrow_forwardO Macmillan Learning A bucket crane consists of a uniform boom of mass M=201 kg and length L = 59.75 ft that pivots at a point on a truck bed. The boom supports an elevated bucket with a worker inside at the other end of the boom, as shown in the figure. Model the bucket and the worker together as a point mass of weight 205 lb, located at the end point of the boom. Suppose that when the boom makes an angle of 68.3" with the horizontal truck bed, the bucket crane suddenly loses power, causing the bucket and boom to rotate freely toward the ground. Take the rotation axis to be at the point where the boom pivots on the truck bed. Use g = 9,81 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. For unit conversions, assume that 1m 3.28 ft and 1 lb 4.45 N. Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration a of the system just after the crane loses power. Express your answer to at least two decimal places. a= x10 TOOLS M IN rad 82arrow_forward
- O Macmillan Learning A bucket crane consists of a uniform boom of mass M = 201 kg and length L = 59.83 ft that pivots at a point on a truck bed. The boom supports an elevated bucket with a worker inside at the other end of the boom, as shown in the figure. Model the bucket and the worker together as a point mass of weight 199 lb, located at the end point of the boom. Suppose that when the boom makes an angle of 67.7° with the horizontal truck bed, the bucket crane suddenly loses power, causing the bucket and boom to rotate freely toward the ground. Take the rotation axis to be at the point where the boom pivots on the truck bed. Use g = 9.81 m/s² for the acceleration due to gravity. For unit conversions, assume that 1 m = 3.28 ft and 1 lb = 4.45 N. Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration a of the system just after the crane loses power.

- A uniform rod of length 2R and mass M is attached to a small collar C and rests on a cylindrical surface of radius R ,as shown bolow. If the collar can slide without friction along the vertical guide, find the angle for which the rod is in static equilibrium.arrow_forwardA uniform ladder of length L and mass m1 rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes an angle with the horizontal. (a) Find the horizontal and vertical forces the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when a firefighter of mass m2 has climbed a distance x along the ladder from the bottom. (b) If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is a distance d along the ladder from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground?arrow_forwardDuring a walk on a rope, a tightrope walker creates a tension of 3.94103N in a wire that are 15.0m apart. The wire has a diameter of 0.50cm when it is not stretched. When the walker is on the wire in the middle between the poles the wire makes an angle of 5.0 below the horizontal. How much does this tension stretch the steel wire when the walker is this position?arrow_forward
