To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to frictionless. The center of ladder is 2.00 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3.00 m from the bottom. Find the normal reaction and friction forces on the ladder at its base.
A crane of mass m1 = 3 000 kg supports a load of mass m2 = 10 000 kg as shown in Figure P10.36. The crane is pivoted with a frictionless pin at A and rests against a smooth support at B. Find the reaction forces at (a) point A and (b) point B. Figure P10.36
A uniform 1200 N beam that is 3.50 m long is suspended horizontally by two vertical wires at its ends. A small but dense 550 N weight is placed on the beam 2.00 m from one end, as shown in the figure. The tensions, A and B, in the two wires are: B 2.00 m - 3.50 m A A = 914 N, B = 836 N (B) A = 8190 N, B = 8960 N A = 836 N, B = 914 N A = 8960 N, B = 8190 N
A 4 m long horizontal uniform beam of mass 20 kg is supported by a wire as shown in the figure. The wire makes an angle of 23 degrees with the beam. Attached to the beam 1.2 m from the wall is a ball with a mass of 48 kg. What is the tension in the string? K 0 (m)
A 5 kg beam 2 meters long is used to support a 10 kg sign by means of a cable attached to a building. The signs hangs from the end of the 2 m long beam, and the cable makes a 40 degree angle with the beam. What is the tension in the cable?
A uniform 5.0 m long 25 kg plank is to hold two people washing windows on a downtown skyscraper. The plank is supported by a rope at each end, and each of the ropes has a breaking point of 1200 N (the maximum tension allowed before the rope breaks). If the mass of the window washer that is standing 1.0 m from the right end of the plank is 85 kg and the second window washer with a mass of 75 kg stands 2.0 m from the left end of the plank, then what are the magnitudes of the tensions in each rope? Do either of the ropes break? Include a force or free-body diagram of the situation.

A beam rests on a fulcrum, 2.3 meters from one end. A weight of 444 kg is suspended from this end causing the beam to balance. If the weight of 444 is suspended on the opposite end of the beam, it is necessary to suspend a 2733 kg weight on the first end in order to effect an even balance. Use g = 9.81 m/s2. Find the length of the beam.
A hungry bear weighing 720 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of food hanging at the end of the beam. The beam is uniform, weighs 220 N, and is 9 m long; the basket weighs 82 N. If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 958 N, what is the maximum distance x that the bear can walk before the wire breaks? 60.0° Goodies Note: final answer with zero decimal place.
