A uniform ladder of length L.and mass m1 rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes an angle 0 with the horizontal, (a) Find the horizontal and vertical forces the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when a firelighter 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?
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 person carries a plank of wood 2.00 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holding it up at .500 m from the end of the plank with force F2. If the plank has a mass of 20.0 kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the plank, what are the magnitudes of the forces F1 and F2?
This bridge is made of two-force members, attached at their ends. There are eight joints in total. When using the Method of Joints, we need to start analyzing the system at the properlocation. Assume that we've already found the support forces at both ends. Of the eight joints, which would be a good joint to start the analysis? There may be more than one. Select all correct.

An 80 kgkg construction worker sits down 2.0 mm from the end of a 1450 kgkg steel beam to eat his lunch, as shown in: 1) Determine the tension in the cable under this scenario. 2) Given that the cable supporting the beam is rated at 1.5×104 N , should the worker be worried? yes/no
A uniform beam 4.2 m long and weighing 2200 N carries a 3700 N weight 1.50 m from the far end, as shown in the figure below. It is supported horizontally by a hinge at the wall and a metal wire at the far end. 1) How strong does the wire have to be? That is, what is the minimum tension it must be able to support without breaking? Express your answer in newtons. 2) What are the horizontal component of the force that the hinge exerts on the beam? Express your answer in newtons. 3) What are the vertical component of the force that the hinge exerts on the beam? Express your answer in newtons.
A museum of modern art is displaying an irregular 426-N sculpture by hanging it from two thin vertical wires, A and B, that are 1.25 m apart. The center of gravity of this piece of art is 48.0 cm from its extreme right tip. Find the tension in each wire. please type neatly and complete solution
a uniform steel beam of mass 150;00 kg is held up by a steel cable that is connected to the beam a distance L=6;00 m from the wall, at an angle=33.50 as shown in figure 6. the beam is bolted to the wall with an unknwon force F exerted by the wall on the beam. an object of mass 450;00 kg resting ontop of the beam, is placed a distance d=1.50m from the wall. solve this problem fully by finding the tension in the cable, the horizontal and vertical components of the force that the wall exerts on the beam and its magnitude and its direction
A rigid beam of length 1.8 m is in equilibrium, with one end attached to a wall by a hinge, and the other end held in place by a thin, massless wire as shown in the figure on Zoom. The wire will break if tension exceeds 1300 N. What is the maximum mass of the beam that can still be supported by the wire?
A 400-N uniform rectangular sign 4.00 m wide and 3.00 m high is suspended from a horizontal, 6.00-m-long, uniform, 120-N rod as indicated in the figure below. The left end of the rod is supported by a hinge and the right end is supported by a thin cable making a 30.0° angle with the vertical.

(a) Find the (magnitude of the) tension T in the cable.=_______N (b) Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted on the left end of the rod by the hinge. (Take up and to the right to be the positive directions. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) HORIZONTAL COMPONENT= _________N VERTICAL COMPONENT= _________N
Shown is a lightweight plank supported at its right end by a 7.0-mm-diameter rope with a tensile strength of 6.0 x 107 N/m2.a. What is the maximum force that the rope can support?b. What is the greatest distance, measured from the pivot, that the center of gravity of an 800 kg piece of heavy machinery can be placed without snapping the rope?
A 12-m uniform beam is hinged to a vertical wall and held horizontally by a 5.0-m cable attached to the wall 4.0 m above the hinge, as shown in (Figure 1). The metal of this cable has a test strength of 0.900 kN, which means that it will break if the tension in it exceeds that amount. Part A: What is the heaviest beam that the cable can support with the given configuration? Part B: Find the horizontal component of the force the hinge exerts on the beam. Part C: Find the vertical component of the force the hinge exerts on the beam.
