FyExThe plant in the picture has mass of 22 kg,and is hanging at a distance of 1.9 metersfrom the wall. The horizontal rod has mass of9.5 kg. Assume that its weight is evenlydistributed, therefore it can be treated as asingle force at the center of mass. The rod is2.6 meters long, and there is a cable at a 23°angle supporting it at the end.Using the wall as the axis of rotation, find themagnitude of the downward torque, fromboth the weight of the rod and the weight ofthe plant.T =N•m The downward torque is balanced by theupward torque from the force of tension. Findthe magnitude of the force of tension.T =F is the contact force between the rod andthe wall. Using the other horizontal force inthe problem, find the horizontal componentof F (the normal force) that must be presentfor the rod to be at equilibrium.F.There is a vertical force from a component ofthe tension, but this is not enough to balancethe donward forces. Find the vertical forcethat must be present for the wall to keep therod up.F,N

Torque on a body is given by the cross product of force acting on it and the distance between the…

The plant in the picture has mass of 22 kg, and is hanging at a distance of 1.9 meters from the wall. The horizontal rod has mass of 9.5 kg. Assume that its weight is evenly distributed, therefore it can be treated as a single force at the center of mass. The rod is 2.6 meters long, and there is a cable at a 23° angle supporting it at the end.

In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
A stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P10.73, with AC = BC = ℓ. A painter of mass m stands on the ladder a distance d from the bottom. Assuming the floor is frictionless, find (a) the tension in the horizontal bar DE connecting the two halves of the ladder, (b) the normal forces at A and B, and (c) the components of the reaction force at the single hinge C that the left half of the ladder exerts on the right half. Suggestion: Treat the ladder as a single object, but also treat each half of the ladder separately. Figure P10.73 Problems 73 and 74.
