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?
Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, 3.4 kg at (0.0, 4.8) m, and 4.0 kg at (3.4, 0.0) m. Where should a fourth object of 9.0 kg be placed so that the center of gravity of the four-object arrangement will be at (0.0, 0.0) m?
Consider the following distribution of objects: a 4.00-kg object with its center of gravity at (0, 0) m, a 1.20-kg object at (0, 3.00) m, and a 3.40-kg object at (4.00, 0) m. Where should a fourth object of mass 6.00 kg be placed so that the center of gravity of the four-object arrangement will be at (0, 0)?
Consider the following mass distribution: 3 kg at (4 m, −4 m), 2.8 kg at (0 m, 4.2 m), and 3.7kg at(3.7m, 0m). We need to place a fourth mass of 4.8 kg so that the center of gravity of the four-mass arrangement will be at (0, 0). a) Find the x coordinate of such a point in m. b) Find the y coordinate of such a point in m.
In order to balance a meterstick at the 27 cm mark, how much weight would you need to hang at the 10 cm mark? Assume the stick weighs 200 g and its center of mass is at 50 cm.
A uniform meter stick has a mass of 200 grams. One hundred grams is suspended at the 20 cm mark and 200 grams is hung at the 40 cm mark. Where is the center of gravity of the system?
A person is standing on a level floor. His head, upper torso, arms, and hands together weigh 472 N and have a center of gravity that is 1.14 m above the floor. His upper legs weigh 108 N and have a center of gravity that is 0.778 m above the floor. Finally, his lower legs and feet together weigh 91.1 N and have a center of gravity that is 0.251 m above the floor. Relative to the floor, find the location of the center of gravity for the entire body.

Consider the woman doing push-ups in the figure. She has a mass of 49.2 kg, and the distance from her feet to her center of mass is 0.96 m, while the distance from her feet to her hands is 1.75m. a. What force in newtons should the woman in the figure exert on the floor with each hand to do a push-up? Assume that she moves up at a constant speed. b. The triceps muscle at the back of her upper arm has an effective lever arm of 1.95 cm, and she exerts force on the floor at a horizontal distance of 15.5 cm from the elbow joint. Calculate the magnitude of the force in newtons for each triceps muscle. c. How much work in joules does she do if her center of mass rises 0.27 m? d. What is her useful power output, in watts, if she does 25 pushups in one minute? For the sake of simplicity, ignore any power used by her muscles lowering her body during each pushup.
A person’s weight is 438 N is standing on a level floor and have a center of gravity that is 1.28 m above the floor. His upper legs weigh 150 N and have a center of gravity that is 0.760 m above the floor. Finally, his lower legs and feet together weigh 87 N and have a center of gravity that is 0.280 m above the floor. Assuming his body arrangement standing is vertical. Relative to the floor, find the location of the center of gravity for his entire body.
The forearm-hand complex weights 51N, and the center of mass is 0.17 m from the elbow joint. The person is holding a large wheel of cheese that weighs 98N. The center of mass of the cheese is 0.34 m from the elbow joint. The moment arm of the elbow flexors is estimated to be 0.03m from the elbow. The relative elbow angle is (angle between the humerus and the forearm) is 60°. What force must be exerted by the elbow flexors to keep the forearm in this static position (in N)?
