A 0.102 kg remote control 24.0 cm long rests on a table, as shown in the figure(Figure 1), with a length L overhanging its edge. To operate the power button on this remote requires a force of 0.360 N. Figure 1 of 1 > Part A How far can the remote control extend beyond the edge of the table and still not tip over when you press the power button? Assume the mass of the remote is distributed uniformly, and that the power button is 1.41 cm from the overhanging end of the remote. [5] ΑΣΦ L = O ? cm

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 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?
Why are the forces exerted on the outside world by the limbs of our bodies usually much smaller than the forces exerted by muscles inside the body?
To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places a 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3 m from the bottom. What are the magnitudes of the forces on the ladder at the top and bottom?
The Iron Cross When a gymnast weighing 750 N executes the iron cross as in Figure lN.91a, the primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (lats") and the pectoralis major (pecs"). The rings exert an upward force on the aims and support the weight of the gymnast. The force exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm is labeled Fs, while the two muscles exert a total force Fw on the arm. Estimate the magnitude of the force Fw. Note that one ring supports half the weight of the gymnast, which is 375 N as indicated in Figure P8.91b. Assume that the force Fw acts at an angle of 45 below the horizontal at a distance of 4.0 cm from the shoulder joint In your estimate, take the distance from the shoulder joint to the hand to be L = 70 cm and ignore the weight of the arm.
BIO When a gymnast performing on the rings executes the iron cross, he maintains the position at rest shown in Figure P10.85a. In this maneuver, the gymnasts feet (not shown) are off the floor. The primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (lats) and the pectoralis major (pecs). One of the rings exerts an upward fore Fh on a hand as shown in Figure P10.85b. The force Fs is exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm. The latissimus dorsi and pectoralis major muscles exert a total force Fm on the arm. (a) Using the information in the figure, find the magnitude of the force Fm. (b) Suppose an athlete in training cannot perform the iron cross but can hold a position similar to the figure in which the arms make a 45 angle with the horizontal rather than being horizontal. Why is this position easier for the athlete? Figure P10.85
A device for exercising the upper leg muscle is shown in Figure 9.39, together with a schematic representation of an equivalent lever system. Calculate the force exerted by the upper leg muscle to lift the mass at a constant speed.

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.

When you push on a heavy swinging door to go into a store, why is it harder to push the door open if you mistakenly push on the side closer to the hinges?
A person working at a drafting board may hold her head as shown in Figure 9.40, requiring muscle action to support the head. The three major acting forces are shown. Calculate the direction and magnitude of the force supplied by the upper vertebrae FV to hold the head stationary, assuming that this force acts along a line through the center of mass as do the weight and muscle force.
A typical jar that has been tightened to a reasonable degree requires 2.0 N⋅mN⋅m to open. f you grab a 8.2-cmcm-diameter jar lid with one hand so that your thumb and fingers exert equal magnitude forces on opposite sides of the lid, as in the figure, what is the magnitude of each of the forces?
