A 300 N girl and a 400 N boy stand on a 16-m platform supported by posts A and B as shown, The platform itself weighs 200 N. What are the forces exerted by the supports on the platform? Draw a free body diagram.
Two friends are carrying a 500 N wooden slab along a 45 degrees stairway. The slab is 1.0 m long and 0.40 m high. They each apply vertical upward force (black arrows) on the bottom edges of the box in such a way that the box remains parallel to the stairs as shown in the figure. What are the magnitudes of theforces exerted by the lower and higher friend, respectively?
Consider a method for measuring the mass of a person’s arm in anatomical studies. The subject lies on her back, extends her relaxed arm to the side and two scales are placed below the arm. One is placed under the elbow and the other under the back of her hand. Construct a problem in which you calculate the mass of the arm and find its center of mass based on the scale readings and the distances of the scales from the shoulder joint. You must include a free body diagram of the arm to direct the analysis. Consider changing the position of the scale under the hand to provide more information, if needed. You may wish to consult references to obtain reasonable mass values.

- Your relative from abroad sent your family a balikbayan box. Since you know that the laws of motion will help you move the box easily, you volunteered to bring it inside your house. You have two options: (a) pulling the box from a rope that makes an angle with the surface or (b) by pushing the box with a force that makes the same angle (but pointing downwards) with the surface. Which choice will you choose? Will the angle matter?arrow_forwardThe image below depicts the Apollo 16 Lunar Module (LM) on the moon's surface.
