1. How can the same force applied to a lever produce different torques? A. By applying the force at different points of the lever arm along the length of the lever or by changing the angle between the lever arm and the applied force. B. By applying the force at the same point of the lever arm along the length of the lever or by changing the angle between the lever arm and the applied force. C. By applying the force at different points of the lever arm along the length of the lever or by maintaining the same angle between the lever arm and the applied force.

Two window washers. Bob and Joe, are on a 3.00-m-long, 345-N scaffold supported by two cables attached to its ends. Bob weighs 750 N and stands 1.00 m from the left end, as shown in Figure P8.82. Two meters from the left end is the 500-N washing equipment. Joe is 0.500 m from the right end and weighs 1 000 N. Given that the scaffold is in rotational and translational equilibrium, what are the forces on each cable? Figure P8.82

Two forces are acting on an object. Which of the following statements is correct? (a) The object is in equilibrium if the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. (b) The object is in equilibrium if the net torque on the object is zero. (c) The object is in equilibrium if the forces act at the same point on the object. (d) The object is in equilibrium if the net force and the net torque on the object are both zero. (e) The object cannot be in equilibrium because more than one force acts on it.
