To Brig 12.54 kg The h 20 th Orange, NJ The plank you are going to walk has a length of 7.20 m and a mass of 12.54 kg. The plank is nos bolted down but is to be placed so that 2.56 m of the plank are actually in contact with the boat. The rest of the board overhangs the jelly fish infested waters. You have a mass of 73.8 kg. What is the minimum mass you must put on the end of the board that is still on the ship so that your can successfully walk to the end of the plank without have the board rotate you into the water?

In an emergency situation, a person with a broken forearm ties a strap from his hand to clip on his shoulder as in Figure P8.92. His 1.60-kg forearm remains in a horizontal position and the strap makes an angle of = 50.0 with the horizontal. Assume the forearm is uniform, has a length of = 0.320 m, .assume the biceps muscle is relaxed, and ignore the mass and length of the hand. Find (a) the tension in the snap and (b) the components of the reaction force exerted by the humerus on the forearm. Figure P8.92

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?
The forearm of length Larm=35.4 cm shown in the figure is positioned at an angle θ with respect to the upper arm, and a 5.30-kg ball is held in the hand. The total mass ?totalmtotal of the forearm and hand is 3.00 kg, and their center of mass is located at LCM=14.6 cm from the elbow. The biceps muscle attaches to the forearm at a distanceLbiceps=3.5 cm from the elbow. What is the magnitude of the force Fbiceps that the biceps muscle exerts on the forearm for ?=49∘? What is the magnitude of the force Fjoint that the forearm exerts on the elbow joint for ?=49∘?
In exercise physiology studies, it is sometimes important to determine the location of a person’s center of mass. This determination can be done with the arrangement as shown. A light plank rests on two scales, which read Fg1 = 380 N and Fg2 = 320 N. A distance of 1.65 m separates the scales. How far from the woman’s feet is her center of mass?
Consider a see-saw of total length 5.40m balanced at its center of mass, with a child of mass 35.00kg sitting on the left-most edge. If a second child of mass 46.00kg wants to balance the see-saw, what distance from the pivot point must the second child sit? ____m
(8c12p13) Forces F1, F2, and F3 act on the structure depicted in the figure, shown in an overhead view. We wish to put the structure in equilibrium by applying a force, at a point such as P located a distance d from F1, whose vector components are Fh and Fv. We are given that a = 1.9 m, b = 2.7 m, C = 1.05 m, F1 = 24.10 N, F2 = 12.85 N, and F3 = 4.65 N. Find Fh, find Fv, and find d.
A 1.90-m-long barbell has a 21.0 kg weight on its left end and a 32.0 kg weight on its right end. If you ignore the weight of the bar itself, how far from the left end of the barbell is the center of gravity? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Where is the center of gravity if the 9.00 kg mass of the barbell itself is taken into account? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
