When tightening a bolt, you push perpendicularly on a wrench with a force of 165 N at a distance of 0.140 m from the center of the bolt. How much torque are you exerting in newton-meters (relative to the center of the bolt)?
Section 11.5 The Motion of Gyroscopes and Tops A spacecraft is in empty space. It carries on board gyroscope with a moment of inertia of Ig = 20.0 kgm2 about the axis of the gyroscope. The moment of inertia of the spacecraft around the same axis is Is = 5.00 X 105 kgm2. Neither the spacecraft nor the gyroscope is originally rotating. The gyroscope can be powered up in a negligible period of time to an angular speed of 100 rad/s. If the orientation of the spacecraft is to be changed by 30.0, for what time interval should the gyroscope be operated?
An auto magazine reports that a certain sports car has 53% of its weight on the front wheels and 47% on its rear wheels. (That is, the total normal forces on the front and rear wheels are 0.53w and 0.47w, respectively, where w is the car’s weight). The distance between the axles is 2.46 m. How far in front of the rear axle is the car’s center of gravity?
Consider the following mass distribution where the x- and y-coordinates are given in meters: 5.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, 2.9 kg at (0.0, 3.3) m, and 4.0 kg at (3.5, 0.0) m. Where should a fourth object of 9.4 kg be placed so that the center of gravity of the four-object arrangement will be at (0.0, 0.0) m? x = m y = m

A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding a pole with length ?=15.5 m, and mass ??=19.5 kg. The daredevil grips the pole with each hand a distance ?=0.575 m from the center of the pole. A bird of mass ??=525 g lands on the very end of the left‑hand side of the pole. Assuming the daredevil applies upward forces with the left and right hands in a direction perpendicular to the pole, what magnitude of force ?left and ?right must the left and right hand exert to counteract the torque of the bird?
