A 3.71m long stick with a uniform mass distribution is supported 1.78m from the left end of it. When I apply a 99.95N force to the right end at an angle of 4.6° to the stick, the stick will rest in the horizontal position. What is the mass of the stick and the magnitude of the force exerted by the pivot on the stick?

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.
A stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P10.73, with AC = BC = = 4.00 m. A painter of mass m = 70.0 kg stands on the ladder d = 3.00 m from the bottom. Assuming the floor is frictionless, find (a) the tension in the horizontal bar DE connecting the two halves of the ladder, (b) the normal forces at A and B, and (c) the components of the reaction force at the single hinge C that the left half of the ladder exerts on the right half. Suggestion: Treat the ladder as a single object, but also treat each half of the ladder separately.
A uniform plank of length 5 m and weight 200 N rests horizontally on two supports with 1.1 m of the plank hanging over the right support. To what distance x, can a person who weights 430 N walk on the overhanging part of the plank before it just starts to tip? What is the net torque around the pivot point (take the FR support as the pivot point)?
A spade is modelled as a uniform rod, of mass 2kg and length 90cm, attached to a uniform square lamina, of side 20cm and mass 0.5kg.

A 4 m long horizontal uniform beam of mass 24 kg is supported by a wire as shown in the figure. The wire makes an angle of 26 degrees with the beam. Attached to the beam 1.6 m from the wall is a ball with a mass of 57 kg. VWhat is the tension in the string?
A meter stick is pivoted at its 50cm mark but does not balance because of non-uniformities in its material that cause its center of gravity to be displaced from its geometrical center. However, when weights of 150g and 300g are placed at the 10cm and 75cm marks, respectively, balance is obtained. The weights are then interchanged, and balance is again obtained by shifting the pivot point to the 43cm mark. Find the mass of the meter stick and the location of its center of gravity.
A beam of length 1.7 m is attached by a pin and is being held up by a horizontal wire attached to the end of the beam. If the horizontal wire has a tension of 1852 N and ? = 53.3o, what is the magnitude of the torque exerted by the horizontal wire on the beam about the pin?
A 9 kg weight is hanging from one end of a uniform rod of 12 m length. If the rod rests horizontally on a pole at 5.25 m from that end, what is the weight of the rod?
A uniform beam resting on two pivots has a length L = 6.00 m and mass M = 90.0 kg. The pivot under the left end exerts a normal force η1 on the beam, and the second pivot located a distance ℓ = 4.00 m from the left end exerts a normal force η2. A woman of mass m = 55.0 kg steps onto the left end of the beam and begins walking to the right as shown. The goal is to find the woman’s position when the beam begins to tip. (a) What is the appropriate analysis model for the beam before it begins to tip? (b) Sketch a force diagram for the beam, labeling the gravitational and normal forcesacting on the beam and placing the woman a distance x to the right of the first pivot, which is the origin. (c) Where is the woman when the normal force η1 is the greatest? (d) What is η1 when the beam is about to tip? (e) Use as shown to find the value of η2 when the beam is about to tip.(f) Using the result of part (d) and as shown, with torques computed around the second pivot, find the woman’s position x…
