- You can find the center of gravity of a long ruler by resting it horizontally on your two index fingers, and then slowly drawing your fingers together. First the ruler will slip on one finger, and then on the other, but eventually the fingers meet at the CG. Why does this workarrow_forwarda) What is the mechanical advantage of a wheelbarrow, such as the one in Figure 9.24, if the center of gravity of the wheelbarrow and its load has a perpendicular lever arm of 5.50 cm, while the hands have a perpendicular lever arm of 1.02 m? (b) What upward force should you exert to support the wheelbarrow and its load if their combined mass is 55.0 kg? (c) What force does the wheel exert on the ground? Figure 9.24 (a) In the case of the wheelbarrow, the output force or load is between the pivot and the input force. The pivot IS the wheel's axle. Here, the output force is greater than the input force. Thus, a wheelbarrow enables you to lift much heavier loads than you could with your body alone. (b) In the case of the shovel, the input force is between the pivot and the load, but the input lever arm is shorter than the output lever arm. The pivot is at the handle held by the right hand. Here, the output force (supporting the shovel's load) is less than the input force (from the hand nearest the load), because the Input is exerted closer to the pivot than is the outputarrow_forward(a) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force on each foot of the horse in Figure 9.31 (two are on the ground), assuming the center of mass of the horse is midway between the feet.

- A student amuses herself byspinning her pen around her thumb(Fig. P13.26). Estimate the rotational kinetic energy of the pen.She wonders if she can count thisamusement as her aerobic activityfor the day. Estimate the amount ofenergy she consumes in spinningthe pen for 1 hour. (Compare thisamount with chewing gum, whichconsumes about 11 calorie/h.) FIGURE P13.26arrow_forwardAs shown in Figure 10.13 on page 306, toppling chimneys often break apart in midfall because the mortar between the bricks cannot withstand much shear stress. As the chimney begins to fall, shear forces must act on the topmost sections to accelerate them tangentially so that they can keep up with the rotation of the lower part of the stack. For simplicity, let us model the chimney as a uniform rod of length pivoted at the lower end. The rod starts at rest in a vertical position (with the frictionless pivot at the bottom) and falls over under the influence of gravity. What fraction of the length of the rod has a tangential acceleration greater than g sin , where is the angle the chimney makes with the vertical axis?arrow_forwardA uniform beam of length 7.60 m and weight 4.50 102 N is carried by two workers, Sam and Joe, as shown in Figure P12.6.

This can be done with the arrangement shown in the figure below.

The scale on the left is labeled Fg1, and reads a slightly larger value than the scale on the right, which is labeled Fg2. A light plank rests on two scales that read Fg1 = 380 N and Fg2 = 260 N. The scales are separated by a distance of 2.00 m. How far from the woman's feet is her center of gravity? ???? marrow_forward2. A person's arm is used for ergonomic studies.
