A 20.0-kg floodlight in a park is supported at the end of a horizontal beam of negligible mass that is hinged to a pole as shown in Figure P12.10. A cable at an angle of = 30.0 with the beam helps support the light. (a) Draw a force diagram for the beam. By computing torques about an axis at the hinge at the left-hand end of the beam, find (b) the tension in the cable, (c) the horizontal component of the force exerted by the pole on the beam, and (d) the vertical component of this force. Now solve the same problem from the force diagram from part (a) by computing torques around the junction between the cable and the beam at the right-hand end of the beam. Find (e) the vertical component of the force exerted by the pole on the beam, (f) the tension in the cable, and (g) the horizontal component of the force exerted by the pole on the beam. (h) Compare the solution to parts (b) through (d) with the solution to parts (c) through (g). Is either solution more accurate? Figure P12.10
Suppose a horse leans against a wall as in Figure 9.31. Calculate the force exerted on the wall assuming that force is horizontal while using the data in the schematic representation of the situation. Note that the force exerted on the wall is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted on the horse, keeping it in equilibrium. The total mass of the horse and rider is 500 kg. Take the data to be accurate to three digits.
Two forces F1 and F2 act along the two sides of an equilateral triangle as shown in Figure P11.5. Point O is the intersection of the altitudes of the triangle. (a) Find the magnitude of a third force F3 to be applied at B and along BC that will make the total torque zero about the point O. (b) What If? Will the total torque change if F3 is applied not at B but at any other point along BC? Figure P11.5
What is the mechanical advantage of a nail puller similar to the one shown in Figure 9.23 —where you exert a force 45 cm from the pivot and the nail is 1.8 cm on the other side? What minimum force must you exert to apply a force of 1250 N to the nail? Figure 9.23 A nail puller is a lever with a large mechanical advantage. The external forces on the nail puller are represented by solid arrows. The force that the nail puller applies to the nail ( Fo ) is not a force on the nail puller. The reaction force the nail exerts back on the puller ( Fn ) is an external force and is equal and opposite to Fo. The perpendicular lever arms of the input and output forces are li and l0
A 12.0m boom, of a crane lifting a 3000kg load is shown below. The center of mass of the boom is at its geometric center, and the mass of the boom is 1000kg . For the position shown, calculate tension T in the cable and the force at the axle A.
Unreasonable Results Suppose two children are using a uniform seesaw that is 3.00 m long and has its center of mass over the pivot. The first child has a mass of 30.0 kg and sits 1.40 m from the pivot. (a) Calculate where the second 18.0 kg child must sit to balance the seesaw. (b) What is unreasonable about the result? (c) Which premise is unreasonable, or which premises are inconsistent?
Even when the head is held erect, as in Figure 9.41, its center of mass is not directly over the principal point of support (the atlanto-occipital joint). The muscles at the back of the neck should therefore exert a force to keep the head erect. That is why your head falls forward when you fall asleep in the class. (a) Calculate the force exerted by these muscles using the information in the figure. (b) What is the force exerted by the pivot on the head?
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. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for static equilibrium in Applications of Statistics, Including Problem-Solving Strategies
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
The upper leg muscle (quadriceps) exerts a force of 1250 N, which is carried by a tendon over the kneecap (the patella) at the angles shown in Figure 9.38. Find the direction and magnitude of the force exerted by the kneecap on the upper leg bone (the femur). Figure 9.38 The knee joint works like a hinge to bend and straighten the lower leg. It permits a person to sit, stand, and pivot.
Problem 1: You have been hired to design a family-friendly see-saw. Your design will feature a uniform board (mass M, length L) that can be moved so that the pivot is a distance d from the center of the board. This will allow riders to achieve static equilibrium even if they are of different mass, as most people are. You have decided that each rider will be positioned so that his/her center of mass will be a distance xoffsetfrom the end of the board when seated as shown.You have selected a child of mass m (shown on the right), and an adult of mass n times the mass of the child (shown on the left) to test out your prototype. Part (a) Derive an expression for the torque applied by the adult rider (on the left) in terms of given quantities and variables available in the palette.

hello, can you pls help me solve this as for my understanding on our topic Torque.. I can't inderstand it. pls draw a diagram and label it, use 3 decimal places and correct units so it will be easier for me to understand. Thank you a) a force acts on an A-truss (as shown on the diagram attached). Determine the value of the individual torques and the total torque about point A. our formula in solving Torque is (t = F x l ; where F is the torsional force applied, l is the level arm or the distance between the fulcrum) pls help me understand this. thank you
