Chapter 12, Problem 10Q
Figure 12-23 shows a horizontal block that is suspended by two wires, A and B, which are identical except for their original lengths. The center of mass of the block is closer to wire B than to wire A. (a) Measuring torques about the block’s center of mass, state whether the magnitude of the torque due to wire A is greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the torque due to wire B. (b) Which wire exerts more force on the block? (c) If the wires are now equal in length, which one was originally shorter (before the block was suspended)?

A ladder of length L is leaning on a frictionless wall at 53 degrees to horizontal. The ladder is of uniform mass which is 20 kg. A point mass is positioned 20% of the way up the ladder which has a mass of 80 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the floor is .333. Calculate the horizontal force that the wall puts on the top of the ladder. Then, calculate the vertical normal force from the ground to the bottom of the ladder. Then, verify that the ladder will not slip. Finally, calculate how high up the ladder (in percentage) the point mass can be positioned before the ladder slips and explain why it will slip.
As part of an engineering design, a load of mass M2=10 kg is to be suspended from
the far end of a beam of mass M1=8kg. A horizontal cable supporting the beam
attaches to the beam at a distance of d=2m from a joint/hinge. The length of the
beam is L=7m. The beam makes an angle of 55 degrees with the horizontal.
