A 133-kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.51 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 66.5-kg person stands on the platform at a distance of 1.07 m from the center and a 27.5-kg dog sits on the platform near the person, 1.39 m from the center. Find the moment of inertia of this system, consisting of the platform and its population, with respect to the axis. _____ kg*m^2

A 10.0kg uniform ladder that is 2.50m long is placed against a smooth (frictionless) vertical wall and reaches to a height of 2.10m. The angle between the floor and the ladder is 60°. An 80.0kg bucket of concrete is suspended from the top rung of the ladder, right next to the wall.
a) Draw a free-body diagram of the ladder.
b) What is the magnitude of the friction force, that the floor exerts on the ladder?
c) What is the coefficient of static friction?

2. Due to recent global economic trends, Brazilian currency has lost value compared to the US dollar. This devaluation caused an increase in the price of products in Brazil. The following table summarizes results from a consumer survey that asked about the number of products being purchased and whether the brands purchased had changed (a trend towards purchasing less expensive brands was expected)

Pick an appropriate scale and graphically add these vectors, in order: A = 30 m/s at 30o North of East, B = 20 m/s South, C = 50 m/s at 70o West of South, and D = 15 m/s at 10o East of North. Using the same scale, add them in this order: C, B, D, A. Using the same scale, add them in this order: D, C, B, A. Does the order in which you add vectors affect the sum?
