The board sandwiched between two other boards in Figure P4.77 weighs 95.5 N. If the coefficient of friction between the boards is 0.663, what must be the magnitude of the compression forces (assumed to be horizontal) acting on both sides of the center board to keep it from slipping?
A horizontal plank 4.00 m long and having mass 20.0 kg restson two supports, one at the left end of the plank and a second1.00 m from the right end of the plank. What is the magnitude of theforce exerted on the plank by the support on the right side?
A man stands a distance d = 0.275 m from the left end of a platform as shown in the figure. The platform is supported by three cables. Find the tension in each cable (in N). Assume the platform is uniform, with length L = 2.00 m and mass 35.0 kg, and the weight of the man is 690 N. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (b). What If? The man now begins to walk to the right. If each of the cables can support a maximum tension of 800 N, which cable fails first? At what location does this occur (measured in m from the left end of the platform)?
A person carries a plank of wood 2.00 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holding it up at .500 m from the end of the plank with force F2 . If the plank has a mass of 20.0 kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the plank, what are the magnitudes of the forces F1 and F2 ?
A hiker, wo weights 911 N, is strolling through the woods and crosses a small horizontal bridge. The bridge is uniform, weighs 3440 N, and rests on two concrete supports, one of each end. He stops 1/5 of the way along the bridge. What is the magnitude of the force that a concrete support exerts on the bridge (a) at the near end and (b) at the far end?
