A person with mass m1 = 55.0 kg stands at the left end of a uniform beam with mass m2 = 91.0 kg and a length L = 2.50 m. Another person with mass m3 = 67.0 kg stands on the far right end of the beam and holds a medicine ball with mass m4 = 9.00 kg. Assume that the medicine ball is at the far right end of the beam as well. Let the origin x = 0 of the coordinate system be the left end of the original position of the beam, as shown in the figure. What is the location XCM of the center of mass of the system? XCM =

A crane is made from a long, horizontal arm with mass m = 2.41×104 kg and length L = 52.0 m. The crane arm is supported by a vertical tower positioned halfway along the arm as shown in the figure below. The arm is free to rotate horizontally about the axis of the tower. The moment of inertia of a uniform rod with mass m and length L pivoted about its centre is given by Irod = 112 mL2. L Part 1) The crane lifts a mass M = 1070 kg at the end of the arm on one side of the tower. To keep the crane balanced, a counterweight of mass Mc = 5420 kg is placed on the arm on the opposite side of the tower to mass M. How far from the tower should the counterweight be placed such that the centre of mass for the arm and both masses is directly over the tower? x = m Part 2) What is the moment of inertia of the crane about the axis of the tower? Include the contributions of the horizontal arm, the mass and the counterweight. I = kg m2 Part 3) A net torque of magnitude τ = 6660 Nm is applied to the crane. If the crane starts at rest, what is its angular velocity after t = 30.0 s ? ω = rad s−1

A person with mass 55.0 kg stands 2.00 m away from the wall on a uniform 6.00−m beam, as shown in the figure. The mass of the beam is 40.0 kg. a) Draw a free-body diagram of the beam, similar to Figure 8.18 b. There are four forces that act on the beam. Give each force a subscript letter. b) Write an expression for Στi, the net torque on the beam around the pin on its left end, similar to the first equation on p. 238. c) For each of the four forces on the beam, what is the angle θ between the force and the position vector? (The position vector goes from the pin to where the force is applied to the beam. Also, if the position vector is zero any of the forces, give τ = 0 as your answer.) d) For each force, the torque from that force is defined as τ = r→×F→ = rFsin⁡θ. Using this definition, evaluate your answer to part b), to write an equation similar to the 2 nd equation on p. 238. e) Solve the last equation for the tension in the cable.
