The figure a shows a horizontal uniform beam of mass mb and length L that is supported on the left by a hinge attached to a wall and on the right by a cable at angle θ with the horizontal. A package of mass mp is positioned on the beam at a distance x from the left end. The total mass is mb + mp = 61.8 kg. The figure b gives the tension T in the cable as a function of the package's position given as a fraction x/L of the beam length. The scale of the T axis is set by Ta = 500 N and Tb = 700 N. Evaluate (a) angle θ, (b) mass mb, and (c) mass mp. (a) (b) (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) 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? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units (d) Number Units (e) Number Units (f) Number Units

In a judo foot-sweep move, you sweep your opponent's left foot out from under him while pulling on his gi (uniform) toward that side. As a result, your opponent rotates around his right foot and onto the mat. The figure shows a simplified diagram of your opponent as you face him, with his left foot swept out. The rotational axis is through point O. The gravitational force F→g on him effectively acts at his center of mass, which is a horizontal distance d = 25 cm from point O. His mass is 84 kg, and his rotational inertia about point O is 65 kg⋅m2. What is the magnitude of his initial angular acceleration about point O if your pull F→a on his gi is (a) negligible and (b) horizontal with a magnitude of 300 N and applied at height h = 1.4 m? Assume free-fall acceleration to be equal to 9.81 m/s2. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
