A 17.0-m-high and 11.0-m-long wall under construction and its bracing are shown in Figure 9.32. The wall is in stable equilibrium without the bracing but can pivot at its base. Calculate the force exerted by each of the 10 braces if a strong wind exerts a horizontal force of 650 N on each square meter of the wall. Assume that the net force from the wind acts at a height halfway up the wall and that all braces exert equal forces parallel to their lengths. Neglect the thickness of the wall.

- A father and his daughter are playing a see-saw made of a plank of length 5.1 m and of weight 118 N in a park. If the daughter weights 274 N and sits at one edge of the plank, where the father with a weight of 523 N should sits from the pivot point to balance the see-saw in m, assuming that the plank has uniform density? Keep three significant figures.arrow_forwardA painter weighing 600N stands 0.9 m from one end of a horizontal bamboo pole that is 7m long. He places his 2.5N can of paint 0.6 m to his right. If the horizontal pole is held in place by a bamboo that stands at both ends, then how much load (force) each stand support?arrow_forwardIn the figure, the rectangle is a uniform block of mass 259. It is 1 meter wide and 1.21 meters tall. The black dot at the bottom is a pivot: the force can tip the block over, but it can't make the block slide sideways. Use the torque idea to find the minimum horizontal force F that can tip the block.arrow_forward
- A uniform board that is 6m long and has a mass of 50kg is lying on the roof of a building. At one end of the board is a paint bucket weighing 50N located .5m from the end of the board. How far can the end of the board with the bucket be pushed out over the edge of the building before the board toppled off the building?arrow_forwardA meter stick weighing 20 N is balanced off its center by 30 cm using a counter weight attached at the end of the meter stick as shown. What is the mass m of the counterweight?arrow_forwardA horizontal plank 4.00 m long and having mass 20.0 kg rests on two pivots, one at the left end and a second 1.00 m from the right end. Find the magnitude of the force exerted on the plank by the second pivot. (See Section 8.4.)arrow_forward
- The following figure represents a bicep curl maneuver where the center of mass (CoM) of a 23 kg dumbbell is 0.29 m from the elbow joint (pivot). The mass of the arm is 5 kg and acts 0.17 m from the elbow joint, and the biceps tendon acts at a distance of 0.01 m from the elbow joint. What is the required magnitude of the resultant joint reaction force (JRF) at the elbow in newtons (N) for the scenario described above in a) where static equilibrium is achieved.arrow_forwardAn 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?arrow_forwardRylie, whose mass is 73.3 kg, is standing on the edge of a steel beam that overhangs a construction site. The horizontal beam is 5.98 m long and has a mass of 128 kg. The distance between the two posts is 3.71 m.arrow_forward
- A car manufacturer claims that you can drive its new vehicle across a hill with a 47° slope before the vehicle starts to tip. If the vehicle is 2.0 m wide, how high is its center of gravity?arrow_forwardA bucket crane consists of a uniform boom of mass ?=201 kg and length ?=59.89 ft that pivots at a point on the bed of a fixed truck. The truck supports an elevated bucket with a worker inside at the other end of the boom, as shown in the figure. The bucket and the worker together can be modeled as a point mass of weight 195 lb located at the end point of the boom. Suppose that when the boom makes an angle of 65.1∘ with the horizontal truck bed, the bucket crane suddenly loses power, causing the bucket and boom to rotate freely toward the ground. Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration ||?⃗ || of the system just after the crane loses power. Take the rotation axis to be at the point where the boom pivots on the truck bed. Use ?=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. For unit conversions, assume that 1 m=3.28 ft and 1 lb=4.45 N . Express your answer to at least two decimal places. ||?⃗ ||arrow_forward
