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)

#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...

Design a "bungee jump" apparatus for adults. A bungee jumper falls from a high platform with two elastic cords tied to the ankles. The jumper falls freely for a while, with the cords slack. Then the jumper falls an additional distance with the cords increasingly tense. Assume that you have cords that are 12 m long, and that the cords stretch in the jump an additional 19 m for a jumper whose mass is 120 kg, the heaviest adult you...
