A solid sphere of radius 10 cm is allowed to rotate freely about an axis. The sphere is given a sharp blow so that its center of mass starts from the position shown in the following figure with speed 15 cm/s. What is the maximum angle that the diameter makes with the vertical?
To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places a 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3 m from the bottom. What are the magnitudes of the forces on the ladder at the top and bottom?
A giant swing at an amusement park consists of a 365-kg uniform arm 10.0 m long, with two seats of negligible mass connected at the lower end of the arm (Fig. P8.53). (a) How far from the upper end is the center of mass of the arm? (b) The gravitational potential energy of the arm is the same as if all its mass were concentrated at the center of mass. If the arm is raised through a 45.0 angle, find the gravitational potential energy, where the zero level is taken to be 10.0 m below the axis, (c) The arm drops from rest from the position described in part (b). Find the gravitational potential energy of the system when it reaches the vertical orientation. (d) Find the speed of the seats at the bottom of the swing.
The Xanthar mothership locks onto an enemy cruiser with its tractor beam (Fig. P8.14); each ship is at rest in deep space with no propulsion following a devastating battle. The mothership is at x = 0 when its tractor beams are first engaged, a distance d = 215 xiles from the cruiser. Determine the x-position in xiles of the two spacecraft when the tractor beam has pulled them together. Model each spacecraft as a point particle with the mothership of mass M = 185 xons and the cruiser of mass m = 20.0 xons. Figure P8.14
A large airplane typically has three sets of wheels: one at the front and two farther back, one on each side under the wings. Consider the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner", with a mass of 198000 kg. In this particular model, the distance from the front wheels to the rear set of wheels is 23.8 m. a) If the center of mass of the airplane is along a line through the center and 3.00 m in front of the rear wheels, how much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on each set of rear wheels when the plane is at rest on the runway? b) How much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on the front set of wheels?
A bottle holder: A clever design of a bottle holder (a plank with a hole) is shown in the figure. Note that the holder is not fixed to the support; it stands freely, but only when the bottle is in. Assume that the mass of the bottle is 1 kg and that the center-of-mass of the bottle is at 3/5th of its length (h = 35 cm) from the neck support point. The bottle in its rest position is slightly tipped down (a = 15°). Assuming the mass of the stand to be negligible and I = 30 cm, find the angle 0 of the stand so that the bottle and the stand can be in equilibrium together as shown. 3h/5

In exercise physiology studies, it is sometimes important to determine the location of a person’s center of mass. This determination can be done with the arrangement as shown. A light plank rests on two scales, which read Fg1 = 380 N and Fg2 = 320 N. A distance of 1.65 m separates the scales. How far from the woman’s feet is her center of mass?
A 63kg beam extends horizontially from the side of a wall. A 13kg box hangs from the end of the beam. The beam is also supported by a cable that is connected to the side of the wall, the cable is also attached to the beam 3/4 of the way from the wall to the end of the beam, it makes a 32 degree angle with the beam. The beam does not have uniform mass distribution, the center of mass of the beam is 1/4 of the way from the wall to the end of the beam. The tension on the cable is 709.63N. What are the x and y components of the force the wall exerts on the beam?
