A person balances a meterstick in a horizontal position on the extended index fingers of her right and left hands. She slowly brings the two fingers together. The stick remains balanced, and the two fingers always meet at the 50-cm mark regardless of their original positions. (Try it!) Explain why that occurs.
Two flywheel fo negligible mass and different radii are bounded together and rotate about common axis (see below). The smaller flywheel of radius 30 cm has a cord that has a pulling force of 50 N on it. What pulling force needs to be applied to the cord connecting the larger flywheel of radius 50 cm such that the combination does not rotate?
To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places a 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3 m from the bottom. What are the magnitudes of the forces on the ladder at the top and bottom?
Bobina and Bob are on the seesaw down at the elementary school playground and decide to see if they can move to the correct location to make the seesaw balance. Boina weighs 400. N and sits 2.00 m from the fulcrum. Where should bob sit to balance the seesaw? Bob weighs 450. N.
A uniform meter stick with a mass of 175. grams is placed on a fulcrum. A weight of grams is placed to the right of the fulcrum at a position where the meterstick balances as shown in the diagram. How far must the weight be placed from the fulcrum to balance the meterstick if the fulcrum is located at the 20.0 cm mark? (10.0 cm) I know the answer is 10, not sure how to get it.
A gymnast with a mass of 54 kg stands on the end of a uniform balance beam as shown in the figure. The beam is 5.50 m long and has a mass of 250 kg. Each support is 0.54m from the end of the beam. What is the force on the beam due to support 2?
A 10.6 m long uniform ladder that weighs 428 N is resting against a very slimy wet moss covered wall that can be considered to be frictionless, as shown in the figure below. A firefighter that weighs 785 N is 4.64 meters up the ladder. The ladder is in static equilibrium. The normal force that the ground exerts on the ladder is? (enter your answer with three significant figures)
A rider of mass 73.0-kg sits 1.40 meters left of the pivot point. A different rider sits 3.4 meters to the right of the pivot point. If the see-saw is in equilibrium, what is the rider on the right's mass? Consider the mass of the see-saw to be negligible. Give your answer in kilograms to 3 significant figures (1 decimal place).
In the image below pivot is placed at the center of mass of the stick (mass = 0.097 kg). If the block (0.022 kg) is placed at 0.766 m it will rotate the block-stick system around the pivot. Calculate the following. (Istick = 1/12 ML^2)
A weight of 55 N is located a distance of 18 cm from the fulcrum of a balance beam. How far away from the fulcrum should a 22 N weight be placed to balance the system?
The uniform seesaw shown below is balanced on a fulcrum located d1 = 3.5m from the left end. The bigger boy on the left end has a mass m1 =75 kg. The smaller boy on the right end has a mass of m2 = 55 kg and is a distance d2 = 4.5 m from the fulcrum. The mass of the board is mb. Draw all forces acting on the seesaw board showing their directions and locations. Where would you draw the weight of the board? Identify and show the direction of rotations caused by the torques provided by all forces about the fulcrum. If the seesaw is in static equilibrium, write down the two conditions of static equilibrium symbolically using the forces and distances in the figure. Solve for the mass of the board. Calculate the force of fulcrum on the board.
