- Find the net torque on the wheel in Figure P10.23 about the axle through O, taking a = 10.0 cm and b = 25.0 cm. Figure P10.23arrow_forwardConsider the disk in Problem 71. The disks outer rim hasradius R = 4.20 m, and F1 = 10.5 N. Find the magnitude ofeach torque exerted around the center of the disk. FIGURE P12.71 Problems 71-75arrow_forwardA uniform beam resting on two pivots has a length L = 6.00 m and mass M = 90.0 kg. The pivot under the left end exerts a normal force n1 on the beam, and the second pivot located a distance = 4.00 m from the left end exerts a normal force n2. A woman of mass m = 55.0 kg steps onto the left end of the beam and begins walking to the right as in Figure P10.28. The goal is to find the womans position when the beam begins to tip. (a) What is the appropriate analysis model for the beam before it begins to tip? (b) Sketch a force diagram for the beam, labeling the gravitational and normal forces acting on the beam and placing the woman a distance x to the right of the first pivot, which is the origin. (c) Where is the woman when the normal force n1 is the greatest? (d) What is n1 when the beam is about to tip? (e) Use Equation 10.27 to find the value of n2 when the beam is about to tip. (f) Using the result of part (d) and Equation 10.28, with torques computed around the second pivot, find the womans position x when the beam is about to tip. (g) Check the answer to part (e) by computing torques around the first pivot point. Figure P10.28arrow_forward
- You hold a 1.80-N softball in your hand as shown in the figure. Consider your forearm and hand to be a uniform rod with a mass of 1.35 kg and the distance between the elbow joint and the ball in your hand is 2L = 30.0 cm. Your biceps exerts an upward force of 13.0 N on the forearm and is attached at a distance of d = 3.20 cm from the elbow. Using the elbow joint as the axis of rotation, determine the magnitude of the net torque acting about the elbow due to the forearm, hand, and ball.arrow_forwardJohn is performing an isometric contraction of the quadriceps to hold a 500 N weight at an angle of 45° of knee extension (i.e., 45° below the horizontal). Assume the length of the lower leg is 42.5 cm. How much force must the quadriceps produce if the moment arm for the patellar tendon is 10 mm?arrow_forwardTwo masses, mAmA = 30.0 kgkg and mBmB = 39.0 kgkg are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley (as in the figure(Figure 1)). The pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius RR = 0.315 mm and mass 4.0 kgkg . Initially, mAmA is on the ground and mBmB rests 2.5 mmabove the ground. If the system is now released, use conservation of energy to determine the speed of mBmB just before it strikes the ground. Assume the pulley is frictionless. Express your answer using three significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forward
