Concept explainers

Center of Gravity of a system

The centre of gravity is a property that is based on the geometry of a rigid body or any particle. It is described as an equilibrium point or a hypothetical location where the total weight of the body is concentrated.

To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places a 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3 m from the bottom. What are the magnitudes of the forces on the ladder at the top and bottom?

The beam AB of length L shown in Figure 3 is subjected to a distributed load w=w(x) given by: ?(?) = ????? (?? /2?) where wo is a constant and the x-coordinate measures horizontal distance from the left end A of the beam. The beam is supported at its left end A by a pin and at its right end B by a roller, as shown. a) Find a single force F and the distance d (measured to the right of point A) at which it must act so that F alone is statically equivalent to the distributed load w=w(x) acting on the beam. Express your results in terms of wo and L. b) Find the reactions exerted by the wall at A.

Hi, I am in physics I and I'm trying to understand this word problem. It saids that a 6.0-m uniform board is supported by two sawhorses 4.0m apart. A 32kg child walks on the board to 1.4 m beyond the right support when the board start to tip. a.) Find the mass of the board b.) Then he walks back 0.40m and stands still. Find the forces exerted by the supports at this time. (use the mass found in part a). Please be detailed of how this works. Its a harder problem for me to understand. Thank you!

An individual leans forwards to pick up a box of 100 N. The weight of his upper body has a magnitude of 450 N. The back is pivoting around the base of the vertebral column. Consider the back of the individual as a rigid bar that is controlled by a muscle with an angle of 12° (See picture, d = trunk-head distance = 1 m).a) Calculate the magnitude of muscle force required to lift the box.b) Calculate the magnitude of the force at the base of the vertebral column. Hints: For (a) solve the equilibrium of moments, i.e. what force is required in the muscle to balance out the moments acting around the base of the spine.For (b), solve the equilibrium of forces acting on the spine, including the muscle force you’ve just calculated, in x and y separately. There are two extra forces not shown in the diagram: x and y contact forces acting at the base of the spine. These are whatever is needed to keep the total forces acting on the spine = 0 (so the spine isn’t accelerating off in some…
