A 20 kg, 5 m-long bar of uniform mass distribution is attached to the ceiling by a light string, as shown. Because the string is off-center (2 m from the right edge), the bar does not hang horizontally. To fix this, you place a small object on the right edge of the bar. What mass should this object have, to cause the bar to balance horizontally?

Two kids (m,LEFT = 50 kg, m,RIGHT = 40 kg) sit on the very ends of a 5 m-long, 30 kg seesaw. How far from the left end of the seesaw should the fulcrum be placed so the system is at equilibrium? (Remember the weight of the seesaw!)

- Textbook QuestionTwo people carry a heavy electric motor by placing it on a light board 2.00 m long. One person lifts at one end with a force of 400 N, and the other lifts the opposite end with a force of 600 N. (a) What is the weight of the motor, and where along the board is its center of gravity located?1698views1comments
- Textbook QuestionA 0.120-kg, 50.0-cm-long uniform bar has a small 0.055-kg mass glued to its left end and a small 0.110-kg mass glued to the other end. The two small masses can each be treated as point masses. You want to balance this system horizontally on a fulcrum placed just under its center of gravity. How far from the left end should the fulcrum be placed?1207views
