To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to frictionless. The center of ladder is 2.00 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3.00 m from the bottom. Find the normal reaction and friction forces on the ladder at its base.
A large airplane typically has three sets of wheels: one at the front and two farther back, one on each side under the wings. Consider the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner", with a mass of 198000 kg. In this particular model, the distance from the front wheels to the rear set of wheels is 23.8 m. a) If the center of mass of the airplane is along a line through the center and 3.00 m in front of the rear wheels, how much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on each set of rear wheels when the plane is at rest on the runway? b) How much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on the front set of wheels?
An athlete holds a 7.5-kg shot put in his hand with his lower arm horizontal, as shown in thefigure. His lower arm has a mass of 2.8 kg and its center of gravity (or center of mass) is 12 cmfrom the elbow-joint pivot. How much force must the extensor muscle (which is FM in thefigure) in the upper arm exert on the lower arm? Choices: 500 N 2000 N 1500 N 2500 N 1000 N Show complete solution and free body diagram
A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding a pole with length ?=18.0 m,L=18.0 m, and mass ??=17.0 kg.mp=17.0 kg. The daredevil grips the pole with each hand a distance ?=0.560 md=0.560 m from the center of the pole. A bird of mass ??=515 gmb=515 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 ?leftFleft and ?rightFright must the left and right hand exert to counteract the torque of the bird?
The chewing muscle, the masseter, is one of the strongest in the human body. It isattached to the mandible (lower jawbone) as shown in Figure P8.33a. The jawbone ispivoted about a socket just in front of the auditory canal. The forces acting on the jawboneare equivalent to those acting on the curved bar in Figure P8.33b.
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 tree 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?

4. Orin and Ann, two paramedics, rush a 60.0 kg man from the scene of an accident to a waiting ambulance, carrying him on a uniform 3.00 kg stretcher held by the ends. The stretcher is 2.60 m long and the man’s center of mass is 1.00 m from Ann. How much force must Orin and Ann each exert to keep the man horizontal? a. Orin = 230 N, Ann = 388 N b. Orin = 201 N, Ann = 411 N c. Orin = 241 N, Ann = 377 N d. Orin = 141 N, Ann = 477 N e. None of the above
