5. A uniform rod 4-kg in mass and 5-m in length is balanced on a triangular pivot that is 2-m from the left-end of the rod. Two masses are then hung on the rod: a 12-kg block that is on the left-end of the rod; and a 4- kg block that is on the right-end of the rod. Where should and additional 5-kg mass be placed to balance out the system as shown below? 5-m long rod; 4-kg in mass 12-kg 2-m x=? 3-m 4-kg 5-kg

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?
Explain the need for tall towers on a suspension bridge to ensure stable equilibrium.
A person balances a meterstick in a horizontal position on the extended index fingers of her right and left hands. She slowly brings the two fingers together. The stick remains balanced, and the two fingers always meet at the 50-cm mark regardless of their original positions. (Try it!) Explain why that occurs.
A 20.0m -tall hollow aluminium flagpole is equivalent in strength to a solid cylinder 4.00cm in diameter. A strong wind bends the pole as much as a horizontal 900.0N force on the top would do. How far to the side does the top of the pole flex?
Suppose a 900-kg car is on the bridge in Figure 9.34 with its center of mass halfway between the hinges and the cable attachments. (The bridge is supported by the cables and hinges only.) (a) Find the force in the cables. (b) Find the direction and magnitude of the force exerted by the hinges on the bridge.
Two children of mass 20.0 kg and 30.0 kg sit balanced on a seesaw with the pivot point located at the center of the seesaw. If the children are separated by a distance of 3.00 m, at what distance from the pivot point is the small child sitting in order to maintain the balance?
A farmer making grape juice fills a glass bottle to the brim and caps it tightly. The juice expands more than the glass when it warms up, in such a way that the volume increases by 0.2 . Calculate the force exerted by the juice per square centimeter if its bulk modulus is 1.8109N/m2 , assuming the bottle does not break.
A 20.0-m tall hollow aluminum flagpole is equivalent in stiffness to a solid cylinder 4.00 cm in diameter. A strong wind bends the pole much as a horizontal force of 900 N exerted at the top would. How far to the side does the top of the pole flex?
A perfectly balanced body, weighing 327 N, is supported by a 42 cm diameter water jet with constant velocity, as shown in the figure below! To maintain this support balance with constant height, what should the jet velocity be in m/s?
A 18.0 m tall hollow aluminum flagpole is equivalent in strength to a solid cylinder of aluminum 4.50 cm in diameter. A strong wind bends the pole much as a horizontal force of 900 N exerted at the top would. How far to the side (in mm) does the top of the pole flex?
A meter stick is balanced at its center. If a 3 kg mass is suspended at x=0 m, where would you need to place a mass of 5 kg to have the system in equilibrium? Note: The meter stick goes from 0 m to 1 m; therefore its center is at the 0.5 m mark. (It is based on this lab https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/balancing-act/latest/balancing-act_en.html)
A drawer of negligible mass is at rest at the extreme left of a table of 25.0 kg and 2.00 m in length (see figure). The width of the drawer is 75.0 cm and sand is to be distributed evenly in it. The center of gravity of the nonuniform table is 50.0 cm from the far right. What mass of sand should be placed in the drawer so that the board balances horizontally on its fulcrum, which is positioned exactly below its midpoint?
