A wedge of total mass M, of metal with uniform thickness 1 m and uniform mass density p (kg/m³) is shown below. The wedge has a base of length a, and a height of length b. The wedge is supported by two posts. In a previous question, you found that CM, the a coordinate of the center of mass of the wedge is located at 2. Find an expression for the normal force by post 2 on the wedge.

In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
A box of 8 kg, standing on a horizontal, frictionless surface, is connected to a 2 kg block with a thin and light wire as shown in the figure. The reel is in the form of a smooth solid disc with a mass of 2 kg and a diameter of 0.6 m. After the system is released, (a) find the tension of the wire on both sides of the reel. (b) Find the acceleration of the box. (c) Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the axle on the pulley.
A Pyramid with nonuniform density p = (p0/(y3(y+1))) (p0 is the average density) with mass M, square base a2, and height h, find the y center of mass of the Pyramid in term of h. (??????? ?????? = 1/3 * base^2 * height) This question is all that is given. please give the answer in a ratio to the height. ie 3/4h
A shaft having length equal to 10 m and diameter equal to (50 + 21) mm is simply supported at both ends. The shaft carries four masses (150 + 21) kg, (200 + 22) kg, (250 + 21) kg and (300 + 21) kg. These masses are located at a distance of 1.5 m, 2.5 m, 5.5 m and 7.5 m from the left hand side support, respectively. The modulus of elasticity, E, for the material of the shaft is 200 GN/m2 and mass density for the shaft material is 7500 kg/m3. Determine critical speed of the shaft in revolutions per minute for the following two cases: i. Effect of the mass of the shaft is neglected. ii. Effect of the mass of the shaft is considered. What is the usefulness of the answers determined in this problem?
A meterstick of uniform density is hung from a string tied at the 25-cm mark. A 0.50-kg object is hung from the zero end of the meterstick, and the meterstick is balanced horizontally.

Find the x and y-coordinates of the center of gravity of a 4.00-ft by 8.00-ft uniform sheet of plywood with the upper right quadrant removed as shown in the figure below. Hint: The mass of any segment of the plywood sheet is proportional to the area of that segment.
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.
