During a circus act, one performer swings upside down hanging from a trapeze holding another, also upsidedown, performer by the legs. If the upward force on the lower performer is three times her weight, how much do the bones (the femurs) in her upper legs stretch? You may assume each is equivalent to a uniform rod 35.0 cm long and 1.80 cm in radius. Her mass is 60.0 kg.

One end of a uniform 4.00-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable at an angle of = 37 with the rod. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction as shown in Figure P12.23. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is s= 0.500. Determine tile minimum distance x from point A at which an additional object, also with the same weight Fg can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.

Suppose the length L of a uniform bar is 3.20 m and its mass M =15.2 Kg. Also, m1 = 11.4 kg, m2 = 24.8 kg, m3 = 17.3 kg, and the angle θ = 32 ̊. The distance from wall to the center of mass of m1 is 1.02 m, m2 is 2.10 m, and m3 is 3.20 m. What is the tension in the wire?
During a circus act, one performer swings upside down hanging from a trapeze holding another, also upside-down, performer by the legs. If the upward force on the lower performer is three times her weight, how much (in m) do the bones (the femurs) in her upper legs stretch? You may assume each is equivalent to a uniform rod 31.0 cm long and 1.78 cm in radius. Her mass is 55.0 kg.
A uniform 50-kg scaffold of length 7.0 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below.

If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables and the mass of the bucket. m bucket = kg T (left) = N T (right) = N
A sculptor has hung up a 45.0 kg horizontal rod of length 4.85 m . One end of the rod is supported by a pivot, and the other end is held up by a wire. The wire makse a 30.0 ∘ angle with the rod. If tension greater than 1450 N would snap the wire, what is the maximum distance from the pivot that a 68.0 kg person can sit on the rod? r=________m
