Question

A board sits in equilibrium. On the left end, there is a wire that supports the board from the ceiling, and to the right, there is a sawhorse that supports the board from the ground. The sawhorse is a distance d= 1/5l from the right edge of the board. There is a block with mass ms= 4.5kg that is a distance 3/4l from the right edge of the board. Finally the board has a mass mb= 11kg.

c) Write down Newton's 2nd law. Put the equation in terms of mbmsg, T, and Fn. Where is the tension in the wire, and Fn is the normal force of the sawhorse on the board.

d) Write down Newton's 2nd Law for rotations. Put the equation in terms of lmbmsg, T, and Fn.
