- A spade is modelled as a uniform rod, of mass 2kg and length 90cm, attached to a uniform square lamina, of side 20cm and mass 0.5kg. A gardener holds the spade horizontally with hands 30cm and 60cm from the end of the rod. Find the vertical forces exerted by the gardener's hands. Im stuck on this q, pls help.arrow_forwardA uniform 37.0 kg scaffold of length 5.8 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below. A 78.0 kg painter stands 1.0 m from the left end of the scaffold, and his painting equipment is 1.3 m from the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables (in N) and the mass of the equipment (in kg). (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) Tension in the left cablearrow_forwardFrom the step ladder shown in the figure, sides AC and CE are each 2.44 m long and hinged at point C. Bar BD is a tie-rod 0.762 m long, halfway up. A man weighing 845 N climbs 1.8 m along the ladder. Assuming the floor is frictionless and neglecting the mass of the ladder, find the tension (in N) in the tie-rod.arrow_forward
- Neglect the diameters of the small pulleys and establish the relationship between the velocity of A and the velocity of B for a given value of y. If b = 1.23 m, y = 0.83 m, and vA = 2.04 m/s downward, what is the velocity of B (positive if downward, negative if upward).arrow_forwardA 18.5 kg door that is 1.02 m wide opens slowly as a pull of constant magnitude 53.3 N is exerted on the doorknob. This applied force, which is always perpendicular to the door, is necessary to balance the frictional torque in the hinges. How large must an applied force of constant magnitude be in order to open the door through an angle of 90.0° in 0.474 s?arrow_forwardA person is pushing a wheelbarrow along a ramp that makes an angle ?=43.0∘ with the horizontal. The wheelbarrow and load have a combined mass of ?=24.05 kg with the center of mass at the midpoint of the length ?. What is the magnitude of the net force ?net that the person must apply in order to push the wheelbarrow up the ramp at a constant velocity, while keeping the wheelbarrow in a level, horizontal orientation? Assume that the radius of the wheel is small enough to ignore. Use ?=9.81 m/s2.arrow_forward
- One end of a uniform 3.80-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable at an angle of ? = 37° with the rod. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is ?s = 0.475. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional object, also with the same weight Fg, can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.arrow_forwardIf the sum of all torques on an object in equilibrium is zero about a certain point, then it is A) Zero about no other point, B) Zero about some other points, C) Zero about all other points, D) Any among the given depending on situations. A student measures the diameter of a cylindrical copper rod using a Vernier caliper. Which of the following techniques would increase the precision of the measurement? A)Measure the diameter along different parts of the cylinder using a ruler and then take the average value of the readings. B) Measure the diameter along different parts of the cylinder using a Vernier caliper and then take the average value of the readings. C) Measure the diameter using a Vernier caliper without zero error. D)Measure the diameter using a micrometer caliper.
