A lightweight diving board is supported by two pillars. One is at the end of the board and the other is 1.55 m away. A 75-kg person is standing on the board at such a location that the pillar at the end (pillar #1) of the board exerts a 700-N force downward. Determine the following.

(a) distance the person is standing from the end pillar (pillar #1)
  
Since this is an equilibrium problem, we expect to use the first and second conditions of equilibrium to solve the problem. See if you can write a second condition of equilibrium statement that will allow you to determine the distance the person is standing from the pillar #1 end of the board. m

(b) magnitude of the upward force exerted by the second pillar (pillar #2)

A diver of weight 450 N stands at the end of a diving board of length L = 4.1 m and negligible mass (the figure). The board is fixed to two pedestals separated by distance d = 1.8 m. Take the upward direction to be positive. Of the forces acting on the board, what are (a) the force from the left pedestal and (b) the force from the right pedestal?

A 20 kg, 10 m long aluminum painter’s plank is supported by a cable at each end. When the painter is standing somewhere on the plank, the left cable exerts a force of 400 N and the right cable exerts a force of 600 N. Determine the mass and location of the painter standing on the plank. What assumptions did you make? Main focus should be conceptually deriving the Equations and less focus on numerically solving equation.

1) The drawing below shows a sulfur dioxide molecule. It consists of two oxygen atoms and a sulfur atom. The sulfur atom is twice as massive as the oxygen atoms. The distance between the oxygen atoms and the sulfur atom is 0.143 nm, and the angle between the y axis and the direction to each oxygen atom is 60o . Using this information, find the x and y coordinates of the center of mass of the molecule. 2) Two blocks...

#1. A street light is supported by two wires and each makes a different angle from each other. The one on the left is 32 degrees and the one on the right is 43 degrees. Find the tension in each wire if the street light has a mass of 60.0 kg. #2. There are three masses: m1 = 2.0 kg, m2 = 5.0 kg and m3 = 7.0 kg. The masses are all affixed to a massless rod of length...

Two long, straight, parallel wires carry current. The first wire carries I1 = 3 A to the right and the second carries I2 = 5 A to the left. The force per length each wire exerts on the other is of magnitude 5 × 10−6 N/m. (a) Sketch the situation. On your sketch indicate the directions of the magnetic fields produced by each wire and the direction of the force exerted on each wire. Determine the distance between the wires....

(25%) Problem 6: A mass m = 0.85 kg hangs at the end of a vertical spring whose top end is fixed to the ceiling. The spring has spring constant k = 85 N/m and negligible mass. The mass undergoes simple harmonic motion when placed in vertical motion, with its position given as a function of time by y(t) = A cos(ωt – φ), with the positive y-axis pointing upward. At time t = 0 the mass is observed to...

1. Dynamics and artificial gravity. The space station has two thrusters pointed in opposite directions. They operate by expelling propellant at high speed. The effect is that there is a force of magnitude F0 on the two ends of the space station in opposite directions, which causes the entire object to start rotating. The thrusters will stop firing when the artificial gravity created on the space station (described below) reaches the required value. Upward force, magnitude F0 Downward force, magnitude...
