A stepladder of negligible weight is constructed as shown in Figure P10.73, with AC = BC = ℓ. A painter of mass m stands on the ladder a distance d from the bottom. Assuming the floor is frictionless, find (a) the tension in the horizontal bar DE connecting the two halves of the ladder, (b) the normal forces at A and B, and (c) the components of the reaction force at the single hinge C that the left half of the ladder exerts on the right half. Suggestion: Treat the ladder as a single object, but also treat each half of the ladder separately. Figure P10.73 Problems 73 and 74.

A wooden door 2.1 m high and 0.90 m wide is hung by two hinges 1.8 m apart. The lower hinge is 15 cm above the bottom of the door. The center of mass of the door is at its geometric center, and the weight of the door is 260 N, which is supported equally by both hinges. Find the horizontal force exerted by each hinge on the door.

A homeowner is trying to move a stubborn rock from his yard. By using a a metal rod as a lever arm and a fulcrum (or pivot point) the homeowner will have a better chance of moving the rock. The homeowner places the fulcrum a distance ?=0.288 mfrom the rock, which has a mass of 465 kg, and fits one end of the rod under the rock's center of weight. If the homeowner can apply a maximum force of 671 N at the other end of the rod, what is the minimum total length ? of the rod required to move the rock? Assume that the rod is massless and nearly horizontal so that the weight of the rock and homeowner's force are both essentially vertical. The acceleration due to gravity is ?=9.81 m/s2.
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…

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!
The following problem model your leg as a system of two beams attached to each other. In this model, your leg is extended. To keep your leg in that position, a force T is exerted in the tendon which must balance the force of gravity of your lower leg and the force of gravity on your foot. Find the necessary tension on the tendon to keep the leg extended when the tendon is at angle of 25° with the tibia. Assume the lower leg has a mass of 30,6 kg and the foot, a mass of 1,27 kg. The leg is extended at an angle of 40° with the vertical and the tension of the tendon is located at a point one fifth of the way down the leg. 25.0° Quadriceps - Tendon - Tibia F
