1. A rod of uniform density and weight W=120N has length L=1.00 m and is supported at two points, under the 10 cm point and under the 70 cm point. The support at 10 cm exerts a force NL on the rod and the support at 70 cm exerts a force NR on the rod, both forces being in the vertical direction.

(a) Use the conditions of static equilibrium to find the values of NL and NR.

(b) In order to apply the torque condition you needed to choose an axis about which to calculate the torques. Try choosing a different axis--do you get the same results for NL and NR?

A horizontal insulating rod, of length L, has a uniform charge density of theta on its right half and of negative theta on its left half. Find the net force on a test charge of magnitude q placed to the right of the rod, on the axis of the rod, a distance x from the center of the rod (where x > L=2).

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.
