Usually, the drawbridge is lowered to a horizontal position so that the end of the bridge rests on the stone ledge. Unfortunately, Lost-a-Lot's squire didn't lower the drawbridge far enough and stopped it at e = 20.0° above the horizontal. The knight and his horse stop when their combined center of mass is d = 1.25 m from the end of the bridge. The uniform bridge is { = 7.25 m long and has mass 2 500 kg. The lift cable is attached to the bridge 5.00 m from the hinge at the castle end and to a point on the castle wall h = 12.0 m above the bridge. Lost-a-Lot's mass combined with his armor and steed is 1 070 kg. While Lost-a-Lot ponders his next move, the enemy attacks!

(ii) Determine the magnitude and direction of the force on the bar due to the hinge. (b) Show that the moment of inertia of the bar about the end that is attached to the wall is IH = 0.5 kg m2 (c) The support is removed and the bar swings down about the end attached to the hinge.

Give your result in terms of g.arrow_forwardWhen picking up an object from the ground, it is generally recommended that you "lift with your legs" - that is, raise and lower yourself by bending your knees but keeping your upper body upright. If instead, you "lift with your back" by bending at the hip so that your upper body is angled, then you put a great deal more stress on your spine and back muscles. Consider a person who is "lifting with their back" such that they are bent at the hip with their upper body is parallel to the ground (i.e., their spine is oriented horizontally). Let us calculate the tension in the back muscles and the compression on the spine in this situation. We will model the spine and upper body as a horizontal rigid rod or uniform density with a length of 50.0 cm and a mass of 40.0 kg. Assume that the person attempts to lift an object with their arms, which we will model as attached at the far end of the rod. Support of the back in this position is provided primarily by the erector spinalis muscle which we…arrow_forward
