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)...

. A standard gold bar weighs exactly 12.4 kg. We have two scales of unknown accuracy and precision. In particular, unknown to us, using Scale #1, measurements of the bar’s weight act like random draws from a N(12.2, 0.05) distribution while, using Scale #2, measurements of the bar’s weight act like random draws from a N(12.4, 0.2) distribution. Using each scale, we take 10 measurements and compute a 95% confidence interval for the true weight of the bar. Neither includes...

A beam of length L and mass M rests on two pivots. The first pivot is at the left end, taken as the origin, and the second pivot is at a distance , from the left end. A woman of mass m starts at the left end and walks toward the right end. When the beam is on the verge of tipping, find symbolic expressions for (a) the normal force exerted by the second pivot in terms of M, m,...
