Textbook Question
Chapter 4.2, Problem 1bT
Draw a free-body diagram for the ruler (after it is released from rest). Draw your vectors on the diagram at right. Draw each force at the point at which it is exerted.
Label each force by identifying:
- the type of force.
- the object on which the force is exerted, and
- the object exerting the force.
The diagram you have drawn is called an external free-body diagram.
Is the point at which you placed the gravitational force in your diagram consistent with your knowledge of the net torque about the pivot? Explain.

A relief airplane is delivering a food package to a group of people stranded on a very small island. The island is too small for the plane to land on, and the only way to deliver the package is by dropping it. The airplane flies horizontally with constant speed of 483 km/hour at an altitude of 975 m . The positive x and y directions are defined in the figure. For all parts, assume that the "island" refers to the point at a distance D from the point at which the package is released, as shown in the figure. Ignore the height of this point above sea level.
