8. A fisher slowly lifts a fish with a 6 m long fishing-rod, the mass of which 0.5 kg. One hand of the fisher holds grip at the end of the rod with a force 200 N, the other at a distance X from the end with a force 150 N. Find distance X and mass of the fish. Sketch the force diagram. Assume that the rod is a cylinder with uniform distribution of mass over its length.

A crane of mass m1 = 3 000 kg supports a load of mass m2 = 10 000 kg as shown in Figure P10.36. The crane is pivoted with a frictionless pin at A and rests against a smooth support at B. Find the reaction forces at (a) point A and (b) point B. Figure P10.36
Suppose just two external forces act on a stationary, rigid object and the two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Under what condition does the object start to rotate?
A worker applies a torque to a nut with a wrench 0.500 m long. Because of the cramped space, she must exert a force upward at an angle of 60.0 with respect to a line from the nut through the end of the wrench. If the force she exerts has magnitude 80.0 N, what magnitude torque does she apply to the nut?
A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding a pole with length ?=18.0 m,L=18.0 m, and mass ??=17.0 kg.mp=17.0 kg. The daredevil grips the pole with each hand a distance ?=0.560 md=0.560 m from the center of the pole. A bird of mass ??=515 gmb=515 g lands on the very end of the left‑hand side of the pole.

Children playing pirates have suspended a uniform wooden plank with mass M = 13.4 kg, length ℓ = 2.40 m, and angle θ = 35.0°, as shown in the figure. Sophia, with a mass of m = 21.6 kg, is made to "walk the plank" and is d = 1.5 m from reaching the end of the plank. What is the tension acting on the rope at the end (i.e value of F3)?
If the pole makes an angle of 25° with the horizontal, the distance between the point where the line is attached to the pole and the anglers hand is L = 2.45 m, and the fish pulls on the line such that the tension in the line is T = 166 N at an angle 35.0° below the horizontal, determine the magnitude (in N · m) of the torque exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the angler's hand.
Two masses are attached to a uniform meter stick as shown in the figure below. The masses of m1 and m2 are as given and the meter stick weighs 150 g.

Can you draw a free-body diagram of this problem? Three children are trying to balance on a seesaw, which includes a fulcrum rock acting as a pivot at the center, and a very light board 3.2 m long as shown in the figure. Two playmates are already on either end. Boy A has a mass of 45 kg, and boy B a mass of 35 kg. Where should girl C, whose mass is 25 kg, place herself so as to balance the seesaw?
The wheels,axle, and handles of a wheelbarrow weigh W=56N. The load chamber and it’s contents weigh WL=635N.the drawing shows these two forces in two different wheelbarrow designs. To support the wheelbarrow in equilibrium, the man’s hands apply a force to the handles that is directed vertically upward.consider a rotational axis at the point where the tire contacts the ground, directed perpendicular to the plane of the paper.find the magnitude of the man’s force for both designs.
