Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11.9DQ
An object consists of a ball of weight W glued to the end of a uniform bar also of weight W. If you release it from rest, with the bar horizontal, what will its behavior be as it falls if air resistance is negligible? Will it (a) remain horizontal; (b) rotate about its center of gravity: (c) rotate about the ball; or (d) rotate so that the ball swings downward? Explain your reasoning.

A non-uniform beam extends horizontally from x = 0 m to x = 6.6 m. The linear mass density of the beam, as a function of x, is given by
λ(x) = 17 - 6 (x / 6.6) (kg/m).
Calculate the gravitational torque on the beam about its left end, in N m. Use g = 10 m/s2. Make your answer a positive number.

The arm is extended outward and is motionless. The gravitational force Fg on the arm acts at point A, a distance of 0.2900 m from the shoulder joint, which is represented by point O. The shoulder pushes down and to the right on the humerus bone of the arm with a force Fs at point O, at an angle ? as shown. The deltoid muscle pulls back on the arm toward the shoulder with a tension force Ft. This tension force acts at a point 0.08000 m to the right of point O, and it is directed up and to the left, at a 12.00° angle with respect to the horizontal. An arm is extending horizontally to the right with a cutout that shows muscles in the upper arm. A horizontal dashed line extends along the bottom of the muscles and another along the top.
