An auto magazine reports that a certain sports car has 53% of its weight on the front wheels and 47% on its rear wheels. (That is, the total normal forces on the front and rear wheels are 0.53w and 0.47w, respectively, where w is the car’s weight). The distance between the axles is 2.46 m. How far in front of the rear axle is the car’s center of gravity?
A 68 kg man is in the prone position while during pushups. His feet and hands are 95 cm and 42 cm away respectively from his center of mass. What is the normal force exerted by on each (a) hand and (b) foot?
A meter stick is pivoted at its 50cm mark but does not balance because of non-uniformities in its material that cause its center of gravity to be displaced from its geometrical center. However, when weights of 150g and 300g are placed at the 10cm and 75cm marks, respectively, balance is obtained. The weights are then interchanged, and balance is again obtained by shifting the pivot point to the 43cm mark. Find the mass of the meter stick and the location of its center of gravity.
