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 medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient's artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20×104 Pa , while in the region of blockage it is 1.15×104 Pa . Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 27.5 cm/s , and the specific gravity of this patient's blood is 1.06.
Part A: What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient's artery is blocked by the plaque?

#1 A solid, homogeneous sphere with a mass of m0, a
radius of r0 and a density of ρ0 is placed in
a container of water. Initially the sphere floats and the water
level is marked on the side of the container. What happens to the
water level, when the original sphere is replaced with a new sphere
which has different physical parameters? Notation: r means the
water level rises in the container, f means falls, s means stays
the same. Combination answers like 'f or s' are possible answers in
some of the cases.

A 90g ball is tied to a string so that the center its mass hangs 50 cm below the point where the string is tied to a support rod. The ball is pulled aside to a60° angle with vertical and released. As the string approaches vertical, it encounters a peg at a distance x below the support rod. The string then bends around the peg. If the position of the peg is low enough, the ball will move in a circle wrapping the string around the peg. a.) What is the work done by nonconservative force? And the total mechanical energy for the ball as it swing and rotate around the support rod and peg. b.) What is the smallest value of x for which the ball will move in a circle wrapping the string around the peg. Then predict what will happen to the mechanical energy, gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, speed, and centripetal force when x reaches its minimum value. Set up a mathematical equation that satisfy the condition for minimum x and solve it based on the conditions provided
