Chapter 5, Problem 20SP
As depicted in Fig. 5-13, two people sit in a car that weighs 8000 N. The person in front weighs 700 N, while the one in the back weighs 900 N. Call L the distance between the front and back wheels. The car’s center of gravity is a distance 0.400L behind the front wheels. How much force does each front wheel and each back wheel support if the people are seated along the centerline of the car?

A person is sitting with one leg outstretched and stationary, so that it makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal, as the drawing indicates. The weight og the leg below the knee is 44.5N, with the center of gravity located below the knee joint. The leg is being held in this position because of the force M applied by the quadriceps muscles, which is attached 0.100m below the knee joint (see the drawing). Obtain the magnitude of M.
An auto magazine reports that a certain sports car has 53% of its weight on the front wheels and 47% on its rear wheels. (That is, the total normal forces on the front and rear wheels are 0.53w and 0.47w, respectively, where w is the car’s weight). The distance between the axles is 2.46 m. How far in front of the rear axle is the car’s center of gravity?
If a walking stick with a mass of 300 g can be balanced by placing a mass M of 150 g at a distance L of 40 cm from the fulcrum, then the center of gravity of the stick is _______ cm away from the fulcrum
