The plant in the picture has mass of 29 kg, and is hanging at a distance of 2.2 meters from the wall. The horizontal rod has mass of 8 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 3 meters long, and there is a cable at a 28° angle supporting it at the end. Using the wall as the axis of rotation, find the magnitude of the downward torque, from both the weight of the rod and the weight of the plant. N.m The downward torque is balanced by the upward torque from the force of tension. Find the magnitude of the force of tension. T = F is the contact force between the rod and the wall. Using the other horizontal force in the problem, find the horizontal component of F (the normal force) that must be present for the rod to be at equilibrium. F = %3D There is a vertical force from a component of the tension, but this is not enough to balance the donward forces. Find the vertical force that must be present for the wall to keep the rod up. Fy = N.

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.

A uniform beam resting on two pivots has a length L = 6.00 m and mass M = 90.0 kg. The pivot under the left end exerts a normal force n1 on the beam, and the second pivot located a distance = 4.00 m from the left end exerts a normal force n2. A woman of mass m = 55.0 kg steps onto the left end of the beam and begins walking to the right as in Figure P10.28. The goal is to find the womans position when the beam begins to tip. (a) What is the appropriate analysis model for the beam before it begins to tip? (b) Sketch a force diagram for the beam, labeling the gravitational and normal forces acting on the beam and placing the woman a distance x to the right of the first pivot, which is the origin. (c) Where is the woman when the normal force n1 is the greatest? (d) What is n1 when the beam is about to tip? (e) Use Equation 10.27 to find the value of n2 when the beam is about to tip. (f) Using the result of part (d) and Equation 10.28, with torques computed around the second pivot, find the womans position x when the beam is about to tip. (g) Check the answer to part (e) by computing torques around the first pivot point. Figure P10.28
