A uniform beam resting on two pivots has a length L = 6.00 m and mass M = 90.0 kg. The pivot under the left end exerts a normal force n1 on the beam, and the second pivot located a distance = 4.00 m from the left end exerts a normal force n2. A woman of mass m = 55.0 kg steps onto the left end of the beam and begins walking to the right as in Figure P10.28. The goal is to find the womans position when the beam begins to tip. (a) What is the appropriate analysis model for the beam before it begins to tip? (b) Sketch a force diagram for the beam, labeling the gravitational and normal forces acting on the beam and placing the woman a distance x to the right of the first pivot, which is the origin. (c) Where is the woman when the normal force n1 is the greatest? (d) What is n1 when the beam is about to tip? (e) Use Equation 10.27 to find the value of n2 when the beam is about to tip. (f) Using the result of part (d) and Equation 10.28, with torques computed around the second pivot, find the womans position x when the beam is about to tip. (g) Check the answer to part (e) by computing torques around the first pivot point. Figure P10.28

Why is the following situation impossible? A uniform beam of mass mb = 3.00 kg and length ℓ = 1.00 m supports blocks with masses m1 = 5.00 kg and m2 = 15.0 kg at two positions as shown. The beam rests on two triangular blocks, with point P a distance d = 0.300 m to the right of the center of gravity of the beam. The position of the object of mass m2 is adjusted along the length of the beam until the normal force on the beam at O is zero.
A uniform ladder is 10 m long and weighs 200 N. , the ladder leans against a vertical, frictionless wall at height h = 8.0 m above the ground. A horizontal force is applied to the ladder at distance d = 2.0 m from its base (measured along the ladder). (a) If force magnitude F = 50 N, what is the force of the ground on the ladder, in unit-vector notation? (b) If F = 150 N, what is the force of the ground on the ladder, also in unit-vector notation? (c) Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.38; for what minimum value of the force magnitude F will the base of the ladder just barely start to move toward the wall?
