n the figure, a nonuniform bar is suspended at rest in a horizontal position by two massless cords as shown in the figure here. One cord makes the angle θ = 38.9˚ with the vertical; the other makes the angle φ = 51.1˚ with the vertical. If the length L of the bar is 2.5 m, compute the distance x from the left end of the bar to its center of mass.

(To see why, consider a person who jumps straight up: She falls straight down. When a person jumps off a diving platform, she must jump at an angle to the vertical, or she would land on the board.) While she is in the air, angular momentum is conserved. Draw a free-body diagram of the diver in the air and use it to explain why angular momentum is conserved during flight. It may be useful to include the axes of rotation for the two common types of spinning moves that divers perform: twists and flips (Fig. P13.74).arrow_forward

Let the origin of the coordinates be at the left end of the rod and the positive x-axis lie along the rod. a.
