Now imagine a set up as shown below: a) The 10 kg mass is placed on a plank at 1.5 m from the fulcrum. (Note: Take each marking on the plank is 0.25 m apart). What would the spring scale read if the plank is in static equilibrium? (The plank is of negligible mass). SHOW WORK b) What would be the spring scale reading in part a) if the mass of the plank is 5 kg? (Note: Take each marking on the ruler is 0.25 m apart). SHOW WORK.

The weight of the uniform bar AB is W. The stiffness of the ideal spring attached to B is k, and the spring is unstretched when =80. If W=kL, the bar has three equilibrium positions in the range 0, only one of which is stable. Determine the angle at the stable equilibrium position.
Find the vertical force P that will hold the linkage in the position =40. The spring of stiffness k=3kN/m is unstretched when =0. The length of each link is L=200mm. Neglect the weights of the links.
The block of weight W is pulled by the force P inclined at the angle to the horizontal. Find the smallest force P and the corresponding angle that would cause impending sliding of the block. The angle of static friction between the block and the ground is s.
The figure shows the FBD of a portion of the space truss shown in Fig. P5.25. Use this FBD to find the force in member BD.
Solve Sample Problem 7.16 if the contact pressure under the polisher varies parabolically from p0 at r=0 to zero at r=R; that is, p=p0(1r2/R2).
The center of gravity of the nonhomogeneous bar AB is located at G. Find the angle at which the bar will be in equilibrium if it is free to slide on the frictionless cylindrical surface.
The figure shows a schematic for a hydraulic jack. Lever AC is hinged at A. The upper valve at D is closed; the lower valve at D is open. The density of hydraulic ‡uid is 833 kg/m3. Make an estimate for the force required at C to hold the system in equilibrium. You may assume the lever is approximately horizontal, and you may neglect the weight of the platform on which the car is sitting. Be sure to include the assumptions you must make in order to obtain this estimate.
Draw the free-body diagram for the frame shown in Fig. 3. The frame is in equilibrium case.
A 30kg mass is tied to a uniform rod whose mass and length are 80-kg and 8-m, as shown below. The rod is attached to the floor via a hinge and makes an angle of 70° relative to the ground; a massless string is also attached to the rod at the ¼ point of the rod and makes an angle of 20° relative to the horizontal. What tension must be provided by the rope so that the system remains in stationary? If at some point the string breaks, what will be the angular acceleration of the system the instant that the string breaks?
A light spring of force constant k = 160 N/m rests vertically on the bottom of alarge beaker of water (see figure (a)).A 5.00-kg block of wood (density = 650 kg/m3) is connected to the spring, and the block–spring system is allowed to come to static equilibrium (see figure (b)).What is the elongation ΔL of the spring?Include a free-body diagram for the block.(Hint: Begin your derivation with equilibrium: “ΣF = 0”. The derivation is a little complex, so don’t give up, and don’t be tempted to calculate the numerical answer in pieces.)
In a Proell governor, each ball weighs 2.5 kg; length of each of the main four arms in 20cms, the extended arm is 8 cm long. The pin joints of the main arm are 4 cm from the axis of the governor. For the sleeve to be on its bottom stop the distance between the top and bottom hinge points of the main arms is 30 cm and then the extended arm is vertical. Find the weight of central load when the sleeve just leaves the bottom stop at 150 rpm. What will be the speed of the governor after the sleeve has been raised to 4 cm?
