- Figure P10.74 provides artists with human proportions. Notice that the center of mass moves lower in the body as the person grows. Explain this change. What does it tell you about human proportions as a person grows? FIGURE P10.74arrow_forwardA uniform beam of length 7.60 m and weight 4.50 102 N is carried by two workers, Sam and Joe, as shown in Figure P12.6. Determine the force that each person exerts on the beam. Figure P12.6arrow_forwardYou are attending a county fair with your friend from your physics class. While walking around the fairgrounds, you discover a new game of skill. A thin rod of mass M = 0.500 kg and length = 2.00 m hangs from a friction-free pivot at its upper end as shown in Figure P11.43. The front surface of the rod is covered with Velcro. You are to throw a Velcro-covered ball of mass m = 1.0 kg at the rod in an attempt to make it swing backward and rotate all the way across the top. The ball must stick to the rod at all times after striking it. If you cause the rod to rotate over the top position, you win a stuffed animal. Your friend volunteers to try his luck. He feels that the most torque would be applied to the rod by striking it at its lowest end. While he prepares to aim at the lowest point on the rod, you calculate how fast he must throw the ball to win the stuffed animal with this technique. Figure P11.43arrow_forward
- Figure P10.31 shows a claw hammer being used to pull a nail out of a horizontal board. The mass of the hammer is 1.00 kg. A force of 150 N is exerted horizontally as shown, and the nail does not yet move relative to the board. Find (a) the force exerted by the hammer claws on the nail and (b) the force exerted by the surface on the point of contact with the hammer head. Assume the force the hammer exerts on the nail is parallel to the nail. Figure P10.31arrow_forwardTwo identical balls are attached to a strong,lightweight rod (Fig. P14.3). The rod is supported by a horizontal pin at the systems center of mass. The balls are at rest. Is thesystem in static equilibrium? If not, why not? If so, which type of equilibrium is itstable, unstable, or neutral? Hint: What would happen if you displaced the balls slightly? FIGURE P14.3arrow_forwardConsider the sketch of a portion of a roller-coaster track seen in Figure P14.5. Identify places on the track that could be considered possible locations of static equilibrium for a rollercoaster car were the car to be placed at any spot on the track.Which places are candidate locations for stable, unstable, andneutral static equilibrium?

- Two racquetballs, each having a mass of 170 g, are placed in a glass jar as shown in Figure P12.43. Their centers lie on a straight line that makes a 45 angle with the horizontal. (a) Assume the walls are frictionless and determine P1, P2, and P3. (b) Determine the magnitude of the force exerted by the left ball on the right ball. Figure P12.43arrow_forwardA bridge of length 50.0 m and mass 8.00 104 kg is supported on a smooth pier at each end as shown in Figure P12.25. A truck of mass 3.00 104 kg is located 15.0 m from one end. What are the forces on the bridge at the points of support? Figure P12.25arrow_forward
