In the figure, a thin horizontal bar AB of negligible weight and length L = 3.2 m is hinged to a vertical wall at A and supported at B by a thin wire BC that makes an angle θ = 40° with the horizontal. A block of weight W = 140 N can be moved anywhere along the bar; its position is defined by the distance x = 2.07 m from the wall to its center of mass. Find (a) the tension in the wire, and the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of the force on the bar from the hinge at A.

A thin, uniform bar of length L and mass M is suspended horizontally at rest. It is suddenly released and, at the same instant, it is struck a sharp blow vertically upwards at one end – the duration of the impulse is negligibly short. (a) Explain the meaning of the equation Fnet = Macom (com stands for center of mass). If we call z the vertical direction, write an equation for zCOM(t), draw a sketch of zCOM(t) vs t, and...

In the figure, a uniform plank, with a length L of 5.23 m and a weight of 280 N, rests on the ground and against a frictionless roller at the top of a wall of height h = 1.59 m. The plank remains in equilibrium for any value of θ = 70.0° or more, but slips if θ < 70.0°. Find the coefficient of static friction between the plank and the ground.

A thin string of length L = 3m is pinned at the two ends. Based on the material linear density ρ and on the traction force T, it can be assumed that √ T/ρ = 2 m/s. The string is initially straight when, at time t = 0, it is tapped in two narrow intervals (1 − 1/8, 1 + 1/8) and (2 − 1/8, 2 + 1/8) with opposite velocities +1m/s and −1m/s, respectively. i) Derive the field equation...

The thin uniform rod in the figure has length 5.0 m and can pivot about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end. It is released from rest at angle θ = 50° above the horizontal. Use the principle of conservation of energy to determine the angular speed of the rod as it passes through the horizontal position. Assume free-fall acceleration to be equal to 9.83 m/s2.
