Two workers carry a uniform 15.0 ft plank that weights 22.0 lb. A load of blocks weighing 165 lb is located 7.00 ft from the first worker. What force must each worker exert to hold up the plank and load? Let the first worker be on the RIGHT side of the plank. Make a sketch and state where the pivot point used is located. Show all work.

In the wheelbarrow of Figure shown, the load has a perpendicular lever arm of 7.50 cm, while the hands have a perpendicular lever arm of 1.02 m. What upward force must you exert to support the wheelbarrow and its load if their combined mass is 45.0 kg?
Show all work and EVERY STEP for solving the problem. DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS. That is the only way I can know how you solved the problem. Directions: A particle is said to be in static equilibrium if the resultant of all forces applied to it is zero. For the forces given, find the resultant F that must be applied to the indicated point to produce static equilibrium, Describe F by giving its magnitude and the angle in degrees,, that it makes with the positive x axis. See sketch below. Note: Numbers in graph are: Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

You’re a highway safety engineer, and you’re asked to specify bolt sizes so the traffic signal shown in the Figure below won’t fall over. The figure indicates the masses and positions of the structure’s various parts. The structure is mounted with two bolts, located symmetrically about the vertical member’s centerline, as shown. What tension force must the left-hand bolt be capable of withstanding?
An archer must exert a force of 360 N on the bowstring shown in Figure (a) such that the string makes an angle of ? = 29.0° with the vertical. Two diagrams show a bow oriented vertically, with the midpoint of the bowstring pulled to the right. In both diagrams, the top half of the bowstring starts at the top limb and extends down and to the right to the midpoint of the string, and makes an acute angle of ? with the vertical. The bottom half of the string appears to make the same angle with the vertical. In the first diagram, a force arrow points from the midpoint of the string to the right. In the second diagram, the left end of a horizontal spring with spring constant k is attached to the midpoint of the string. The right end of the spring is attached to a vertical wall. (a) Determine the tension in the bowstring. N (b) If the applied force is replaced by a stretched spring as in Figure (b) and the spring is stretched 30.5 cm from its unstretched length, what is the spring…
