In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
Ruby, with mass 55.0 kg, is trying to reach a box on a high shelf by standing on her tiptoes. In this position, half her weight is supported by the normal force exerted by the floor on the toes of each foot as shown in Figure P14.75A. This situation can be modeled mechanically by representing the force on Rubys Achilles tendon with FA and the force on her tibia as FT as shown in Figure P14.75B. What is the value of the angle and the magnitudes of the forces FA and FT? FIGURE P14.75
The keystone of an arch is the stone at the top (Fig. P14.9). It is supported by forces from its two neighbors, blocks A and B. Each block has mass m and approximate length L. What can you conclude about the force exerted by each block, FA and FB, for the keystone to remain in static equilibrium? That is, show that the equilibrium conditions are satisfied by the components of the forces FAx, FAy, FBx, and FBy. Assume the arch is symmetric. FIGURE P14.9
A 5.45-N beam of uniform density is 1.60 m long. The beam is supported at an angle of 35.0 by a cable attached to one end. There is a pin through the other end of the beam (Fig. P14.30). Use the values given in the figure to find the tension in the cable. FIGURE P14.30
A uniform ladder of length L.and mass m1 rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes an angle 0 with the horizontal, (a) Find the horizontal and vertical forces the ground exerts on the base of the ladder when a firelighter of mass m2, has climbed a distance x along the ladder from the bottom, (b) If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is a distance d along the ladder from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground?
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
Suppose a 900-kg car is on the bridge in Figure 9.34 with its center of mass halfway between the hinges and the cable attachments. (The bridge is supported by the cables and hinges only.) (a) Find the force in the cables. (b) Find the direction and magnitude of the force exerted by the hinges on the bridge.
A uniform beam of length 7.60 m and weight 4.50 102 N is carried by two workers, Sam and Joe, as shown in Figure P12.6. Determine the force that each person exerts on the beam. Figure P12.6
A stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P10.73, with AC = BC = ℓ. A painter of mass m stands on the ladder a distance d 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. Figure P10.73 Problems 73 and 74.

A 1 200-N uniform boom atϕ = 65° to the horizontal is supportedby a cable at an angle θ =25.0° to the horizontal as shownin Figure P8.34.

Find (a) thetension in the support cable and (b) the components of the reaction force exerted by the pivoton the boom.
In exercise physiologystudies, it is sometimesimportant todetermine the location ofa person’s center of gravity.This can be done withthe arrangement shownin Figure P8.21. A lightplank rests on two scalesthat read Fg1 = 380. N andFg2 = 320. N. The scales are separated by a distance of 2.00 m.How far from the woman’s feet is her center of gravity?
