A homogeneous board weighing 274 N and long L = 6.23 m rests on a wall of height h = 2.87, the upper corner of which has a frictionless rolling mechanism. The plate is in equilibrium for any theta angle greater than or equal to 68.0 °, but it slides as soon as the angle is less than 68.0 °.Find the coefficient of static friction between the board and the floor.
A large bell is hung from a wooden beam so it can swing back and forth with negligible friction. The center of mass of the bell is 0.55 m below the pivot, the bell has mass 30.0 kg , and the moment of inertia of the bell about an axis at the pivot is 16.0 kg⋅m2. The clapper is a small, 1.8 kg mass attached to one end of a slender rod that has length L and negligible mass. The other end of the rod is attached to the inside of the bell so it can swing freely about the same axis as the bell. What should be the length L of the clapper rod for the bell to ring silently-that is, for the period of oscillation for the bell to equal that for the clapper? Express your answer using two significant figures.
A one-string Aeolian harp is constructed by attaching the lower end of a 1.66-m-long rigid and uniform pole with a mass of 8.00 kg to a tree at a pivot and then using a light rope to hang a 39.0-cm-long hollow steel tube with a mass of 4.00 kg from its upper end. A horizontal wire between the pole and the tree is attached to the pole at a height h above the pivot and holds the pole at a 45.0∘C angle with the vertical. The wire is uniform and has linear mass density μ=1.40 g/m. When the wind blows, the wire resonates at its fundamental frequency. The height h is chosen such that the sound emitted by the wire stimulates the fundamental standing wave in the tube, which harmonizes with the resonating wire. The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s. What is the frequency of the note produced by this instrument?
A 13.2-kg object hangs in equilibrium from a string with a total length of 6.00 m and a linear mass density of ? = 0.00500 kg/m. The string is wrapped around two light frictionless pulleys that are separated by a distance of d = 2.00 m. Two figures show a system of two pulleys and a block of mass m attached to each other with string in a triangular arrangement. The pulleys are at the top left and top right of the triangle, separated by a distance d. The block connects directly to the bottom corner of the triangle, pulled downward by gravity vector g. In figure (a), the string connecting the pulleys is completely horizontal and unmoving. In figure (b), the string connecting the pulleys is oscillating as a standing wave such that there is one and a half wavelengths between the pulleys. (a) Determine the tension in the string. N(b) At what frequency must the string between the pulleys vibrate in order to form the standing-wave pattern shown in Figure b?

Review. A string is wound around a uniform disk of radius R and mass M. The disk is released from rest with the string vertical and its top end tied to a fixed bar (Fig. P10.78). Show that (a) the tension in the string is one third of the weight of the disk, (b) the magnitude of the acceleration of the center of mass is 2g/3, and (c) the speed of the center of mass is (4gh/3)1/2 after the disk has descended through distance h.

Why is the following situation impossible? A worker in a factory pulls a cabinet across the floor using a rope as shown in Figure P12.36a. The rope make an angle = 37.0 with the floor and is tied h1 = 10.0 cm from the bottom of the cabinet. The uniform rectangular cabinet has height = 100 cm and width w = 60.0 cm, and it weighs 400 N. The cabinet slides with constant speed when a force F = 300 N is applied through the rope. The worker tires of walking backward. He fastens the rope to a point on the cabinet h2 = 65.0 cm off the floor and lays the rope over his shoulder so that he can walk forward and pull as shown in Figure P12.36b. In this way, the rope again makes an angle of = 37.0 with the horizontal and again has a tension of 300 N. Using this technique, the worker is able to slide the cabinet over a long distance on the floor without tiring. Figure P12.36 Problems 36 and 44.
In Figure P10.40, the hanging object has a mass of m1 = 0.420 kg; the sliding block has a mass of m2 = 0.850 kg; and the pulley is a hollow cylinder with a mass of M = 0.350 kg, an inner radius of R1 = 0.020 0 m, and an outer radius of R2 = 0.030 0 m. Assume the mass of the spokes is negligible. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is k = 0.250. The pulley turns without friction on its axle. The light cord does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley. The block has a velocity of vi = 0.820 m/s toward the pulley when it passes a reference point on the table. (a) Use energy methods to predict its speed after it has moved to a second point, 0.700 m away. (b) Find the angular speed of the pulley at the same moment. Figure P10.40

(d) It is impossible to determine. Figure OQ10.9
A horizontal, rigid bar of negligible weight is fixed against a vertical wall at one end and supported by a vertical string at the other end. The bar has a length of 50.0 cm and is used to support a hanging block of weight 400.0 N from a point 30.0 cm from the wall as shown in Figure P14.81. The string is made from a material with a tensile strength of 1.2 108 N/m2. Determine the largest diameter of the string for which it would still break. FIGURE P14.81
Review. One end of a light spring with force constant k = 100 N/m is attached to a vertical wall. A light string is tied to the other end of the horizontal spring. As shown in Figure P12.57, the string changes from horizontal to vertical as it passes over a pulley of mass M in the shape of a solid disk of radius R = 2.00 cm. The pulley is free to turn on a fixed, smooth axle. The vertical section of the string supports an object of mass m = 200 g. The string does not slip at its contact with the pulley. The object is pulled downward a small distance and released. (a) What is the angular frequency of oscillation of the object in terms of the mass M? (b) What is the highest possible value of the angular frequency of oscillation of the object? (c) What is the highest possible value of the angular frequency of oscillation of the object if the pulley radius is doubled to R = 4.00 cm? Figure P12.57
