A diver of weight 420 N stands at the end of a diving board of length L = 3.7 m and negligible mass (see the figure below). The board is fixed to two pedestals separated by distance d = 1.4 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) Number Units (b) Number Units

The figure shows a ball with mass m = 0.354 kg attached to the end of a thin rod with length L = 0.597 m and negligible mass. The other end of the rod is pivoted so that the ball can move in a vertical circle. The rod is held horizontally as shown and then given enough of a downward push to cause the ball to swing down and around and just reach the vertically upward position, with zero speed there. How much work is done on the ball by the gravitational force from the initial point to (a) the lowest point, (b) the highest point, and (c) the point on the right level with the initial point? If the gravitational potential energy of the ball-Earth system is taken to be zero at the initial point, what is it when the ball reaches (d) the lowest point, (e) the highest point, and (f) the point on the right level with the initial point?

Tarzan, who weighs 870 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a 22.2 m vine that hangs from a high tree limb and initially makes an angle of 25.2∘ with the vertical. Assume that an x-axis points horizontally away from the cliff edge and a y-axis extends upward. Immediately after Tarzan steps off the cliff, the tension in the vine is 787 N. Just then, what are (a) the force from the vine on Tarzan in unit-vector notation, and (b) the net force acting on Tarzan in unit-vector notation? What are (c) the magnitude and (d) the direction (measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis) of the net force acting on Tarzan? What are (e) the magnitude and (f) the direction of Tarzan's acceleration just then? (a) Number i^ + j^ Units (b) Number i^ + j^ Units (c) Number Units (d) Number Units (e) Number Units (f) Number Units

The figure shows a thin rod, of length L = 2.30 m and negligible mass, that can pivot about one end to rotate in a vertical circle. A heavy ball of mass m = 15.0 kg is attached to the other end. The rod is pulled aside to angle θ0 = 14.0∘ and released with initial velocity v→0 = 0. As the ball descends to its lowest point, (a) how much work does the gravitational force do on it and (b) what is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the ball-Earth system? (c) If the gravitational potential energy is taken to be zero at the lowest point, what is its value just as the ball is released? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units c) Number Units
