An 8.00 m long beam with a mass of 8.70 kg is suspended horizontally from a post, as shown. The left end of the beam is attached to a frictionless hinge on the vertical post that allows the beam to rotate up and down freely. The right end of the beam is supported by a wire that runs to the top of the post. The wire makes a 50° angle with the vertical post. The beam's shape is symmetric and it is made of a homogeneous material so that its center of mass is located at its geometric center. What tension in the wire is required to support the beam horizontally?
A tightrope walks across a 30-m long wire tied between two poles. The center of the wire is displaced vertically downward by 1.0 m when he is halfway across. If the tension in both halves of the wire at this point is 6294 N is the mass of the tightrope walker? Neglect the mass of the wire

A 2.0-m-long slab of concrete is supported by rollers, as shown. If the slab is pushed to the right, it will move off the supporting rollers, one by one, on the left side. How far can the slab be moved before its center of gravity is to the right of the contact point with the rightmost roller—at which point the slab begins to tip?

Calculate the angular acceleration produced if 95.0 of this torque is applied to the drive shaft, axle, and rear wheels of a car, given the following information. The car is suspended so that the wheels can turn freely. Each wheel acts like a 15.0-kg disk that has a 0.180-m radius. The walls of each tire act like a 2.00-kg annular ring that has inside radius of 0.180 m and outside radius of 0.320 m. The tread of each tire acts like a 10.0-kg hoop of radius 0.330 m. The 14.0-kg axle acts like a rod that has a 2.00-cm radius.

Logan has completed 35 full lifts with both legs. He then continues to lie on the floor with his left leg pointing straight up (bottom of foot facing up so that his left leg is perpendicular to the floor) and his right leg resting on the floor. If Logan allows his leg to fall freely until it hits the floor what is the tangential speed of his left foot just before it hits the floor. Assume his leg can be treated as a uniform rod of length 0.90 m long that pivots freely about the hip.arrow_forwardA uniform plank of length 2.00m and mass 30.0kg is supported by three ropes, as indicated by the blue vectors in figure p8.27.

- A door has a width of 1 m. The hinge attaches the door on the left. This time, Andrea pushes on the right end of the door with a force of 30 N at angle θ=90∘θ=90∘.

We can measure thebody’s moment of inertia in aparticular position while a personremains in that position on ahorizontal turntable, with the body’scenter of mass on the turntable’s rotationalaxis. The turntable with theperson on it is then accelerated fromrest by a torque that is produced byusing a rope wound around a pulleyon the shaft of the turntable. Fromthe measured tension in the rope andthe angular acceleration, we can calculatethe body’s moment of inertiaabout an axis through its center of mass.If the body’s center of mass were not placed on the rotational axis of the turntable, how would the person’s measured moment of inertia compare to the moment of inertia for rotation about the center of mass? (a) The measured moment of inertia would be too large; (b) the measured moment of inertia would be too small; (c)…arrow_forwardA softball player hits the ball with their bat. As seen from above, the bat points due southeast. The pivot point is the player’s left hand, which is 10cm from the northwest end of the bat.
