The 17 kg shopping cart carries a 56 kg child. The shopping cart wheel base b = 680 mm and its vertical CG is symmetrically located 1020 mm above the floor surface. The child remains centered symmetrically between the cart wheels with her vertical CG located 1330 mm above the floor surface. Determine (a) location above the floor of the vertical CG of the cart + child in mm and (b) the tipping angle in degrees.

The ladder does not rub against the wall. The first step of the ladder (the distance from the end of the ladder to the first rung) and the other steps are 37 cm. dir. How many steps can a man with a mass of 70 kg climb without slipping? (g = 10 m / s2, cos53o = 0.6, sin53o = 0.8)

- A bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire on the rear wheel. A friend spins the front wheel, of radius R, and observes that drops of water fly oil tangentially in an upward direction when the drops are at the same level as the center of the wheel. She measures the height reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P10.74). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises a distance h1 above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises a distance h2 h1 above the tangent point. The height to which the drops rise decreases because the angular speed of the wheel decreases. From this information, determine the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the wheel.arrow_forwardWe can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque. Suppose a tree’s canopy presents an area of 9.0 m2 to the wind centered at a height of 7.0 m above the ground. (These are reasonable values for forest trees.) If the wind blows at 6.5 m/s: a.

- A 5.30 kg lamp is hung from an 8.00 m long horizontal beam, as shown in the figure.
