One end of a uniform 4.00-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable at an angle of = 37 with the rod. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction as shown in Figure P12.23. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is s= 0.500. Determine tile minimum distance x from point A at which an additional object, also with the same weight Fg can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.
A horizontal plank 4.00 m long and having mass 20.0 kg rests on two pivots, one at the left end and a second 1.00 m from the right end. Find the magnitude of the force exerted on the plank by the second pivot. (See Section 8.4.)
A 15.0-m uniform ladder weighing 500 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 60.0 angle with the horizontal. (a) Kind the horizontal and vertical forces the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when an 800-N firefighter has climbed 4.00 m along the ladder from the bottom. (b) If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is 9.00 m from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground?
A wooden door 2.1 m high and 0.90 m wide is hung by two hinges 1.8 m apart. The lower hinge is 15 cm above the bottom of the door. The center of mass of the door is at its geometric center, and the weight of the door is 260 N, which is supported equally by both hinges. Find the horizontal force exerted by each hinge on the door.
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?
a) What is the mechanical advantage of a wheelbarrow, such as the one in Figure 9.24, if the center of gravity of the wheelbarrow and its load has a perpendicular lever arm of 5.50 cm, while the hands have a perpendicular lever arm of 1.02 m? (b) What upward force should you exert to support the wheelbarrow and its load if their combined mass is 55.0 kg? (c) What force does the wheel exert on the ground? Figure 9.24 (a) In the case of the wheelbarrow, the output force or load is between the pivot and the input force. The pivot IS the wheel's axle. Here, the output force is greater than the input force. Thus, a wheelbarrow enables you to lift much heavier loads than you could with your body alone. (b) In the case of the shovel, the input force is between the pivot and the load, but the input lever arm is shorter than the output lever arm. The pivot is at the handle held by the right hand. Here, the output force (supporting the shovel's load) is less than the input force (from the hand nearest the load), because the Input is exerted closer to the pivot than is the output
(a) When opening a door, you push on it perpendicularly with a force of 55.0 N at a distance of 0.850m from the hinges. What torque are you exerting relative to the hinges? (b) Does it matter if you push at the same height as the hinges?
A person carries a plank of wood 2.0 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holding it up at 50 cm from the end of the plank with force F2. f the plank has a mass of 19 kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the plank, what is the force F2, in newtons? If the plank has a mass of 19 kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the plank, what is the force F1, in newtons?
A person carries a plank of wood 1.9 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holding it up at 49 cm from the end of the plank with force F2. If the plank has a mass of 18 kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the plank, what are the magnitudes of the forces F1 and F2? (The distance of 49 cm is measured from the location of F1.)
A 6-m long ladder has a mass of 1Q kg, and its center of gravity is 2.4 m from the bottom along the ladder.
