Question on attached image. In the drawing to the right, a 90.0 cm long metal bar having a mass of 0.500 kg is supported by two strings as shown. a) Determine the value of the tension in each string. b) Calculate the position of the center of mass from the left end of the torque bar.
A meter stick balances horizontally on a knife-edge at the 50.0 cm mark. With two 5.95 g coins stacked over the 32.4 cm mark, the stick is found to balance at the 46.5 cm mark. What is the mass of the meter stick? Number Type your answer here Units
A 0.34-kg meterstick balances at its center.If a necklace is suspended from one end of the stick, the balancepoint moves 9.5 cm toward that end. (a) Is the mass of the necklace more than, less than, or the same as that of the meterstick?Explain. (b) Find the mass of the necklace
Two blocks, each of mass m, are attached to the ends of a massless rod which pivots as shown in the figure (Figure 1). Initially, the rod is held in the horizontal position and then released. Calculate the magnitude of the net torque on this system when it is first released. Use the fact that l2>l1. Find the direction of the net torque on this system when it is first released.
Peter is attempting to balance a 0.070-kg meter stick on his finger. A 0.18-kg blob of plasticine sits at one end of the stick (as shown in the diagram below).a) How far from the end of the meter stick does Peter need to put his finger in order to strike a balance? (Consider rotational equilibrium with the finger location as the pivot.) b) What is the magnitude of the push from Ryan’s finger? (Consider translational equilibrium.)
Three (3) masses are attached to a uniform meter stick, as shown in figure below. The mass of the meter stick is 150.0 g and the masses to the left of the fulcrum are m1 = 50.0 g and m2 = 75.0 g. Find the mass m3 =? that balances the system when it is attached at the right end of the stick, and the normal reaction force at the fulcrum when the system is balanced.
A child stands with one foot on each of two identical bathroom weighing scales. The child leans her upper body over to her left side. The resultant reading on the right scale is 11.2kg, the reading on the left scale is 28.4kg, and the distance between the centres of the child's feet is 50.0cm. What is the horizontal distance of the child's centre of mass as measured from the position central between her feet?
A uniform meter stick pivoted at its centre, has a 100.0 g mass suspended at the 25.0 cm position. What mass would have to be suspended at the 90.0 cm position for the system to be in equilibrium? Show workings.
A bicycle mechanic is checking a road bike's chain. He applies force FF = 21 NN to a pedal at the angle shown in (Figure 1) while keeping the wheel from rotating. The pedal is 17 cmcm from the center of the crank; the gear has a diameter of 16 cmcm. What is the tension in the chain?
The two children (fig shown) are balanced on a seesaw of negligible mass. (This assumption is made to keep the example simple—more involved examples will follow.) The first child has a mass of 26.0 kg and sits 1.60 m from the pivot.(a) If the second child has a mass of 32.0 kg, how far is she from the pivot? with the center of mass of the seesaw 0.160 m to the left of the pivot (on the side of the lighter child) and assuming a mass of 12.0 kg for the seesaw. The other data given in the example remain unchanged. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for static equilibrium.
A thin, light string is wrapped around the rim of a 3.75-kgkg, solid, uniform disk (similar to a puck on ice without friction) that is 33.0 cmcm in diameter. A person pulls on the string with a constant force of 98.00 NN tangent to the disk, as shown in the figure below (Figure 1). The disk is not attached to anything and is free to move and turn. Part A Find the angular acceleration of the disk about its center of mass. Express your answer in radians per second squared. Part B Find the linear acceleration of its center of mass. Express your answer in meters per second squared. Part C If the disk is replaced by a hollow, thin-walled cylinder of the same mass and diameter, what will be the angular acceleration of the disk about its center of mass? Express your answer in radians per second squared. Part D If the disk is replaced by a hollow, thin-walled cylinder of the same mass and diameter, what will be the linear acceleration of its center of mass? Express your…
IP To determine the location of her center of mass, a physics student lies on a lightweight plank supported by two scales 2.50 m apart, as indicated in the figure (Figure 1). Assume the left scale reads 300 N, and the right scale reads 132 N. Find the student's mass. Find the distance from the student's head to her center of mass.
