91Ó°ÊÓ

Two children push on opposite sides of a door during play. Both pushes horizontally and perpendicular to the door. One child push with a force of 17.5 N at a distance of 0.600 m from the hinges, and the second child pushes at a distance of 0.450 m. What force must the second child exert to keep the door from moving? Assume friction is negligible.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The force exerted by the second child is23.3N

Step by step solution

01

Force

A force is an external factor that can change the rest or motion of a body. It has a size and a general direction.

02

Calculation of the force

The torque by the first child is,

τ1=17.5×0.600=10.5N·m

The torque applied by the second child must be the same as the first child to keep the door from moving. The force by the second child is then,

F2=τ1r2=10.50.450=23.3N

Hence, the force is23.3N.

You have just planted a sturdy \({\rm{2}}\;{\rm{m}}\)tall palm tree in your front lawn for your mother’s birthday. Your brother kicks a \({\rm{500}}\;{\rm{g}}\) ball, which hits the top of the tree at a speed of \({\rm{5}}\;{\rm{m/s}}\)and stays in contact with it for \({\rm{10}}\;{\rm{ms}}\). The ball falls to the ground near the base of the tree and the recoil of the tree is minimal. (a) What is the force on the tree? (b) The length of the sturdy section of the root is only \({\rm{20}}\;{\rm{cm}}\). Furthermore, the soil around the roots is loose and we can assume that an effective force is applied at the tip of the \({\rm{20}}\;{\rm{cm}}\) length. What is the effective force exerted by the end of the tip of the root to keep the tree from toppling? Assume the tree will be uprooted rather than bend. (c) What could you have done to ensure that the tree does not uproot easily?

Repeat the seesaw problem in Example 9.1 with the center of mass of the seesaw \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.160}}\;{\rm{m}}\) to the left of the pivot (on the side of the lighter child) and assuming a mass of \({\rm{12}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{kg}}\) for the seesaw. The other data given in the example remain unchanged. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for static equilibrium

We analyzed the biceps muscle example with the angle between forearm and upper arm set at 90o. Using the same numbers as inExample 9.4, find the force exerted by the biceps muscle when the angle is 120oand the forearm is in a downward position.

A gymnast is attempting to perform splits. From the information given in Figure \({\rm{9}}{\rm{.36}}\), calculate the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on each foot by the floor.

If the maximum force the biceps muscle can exert is 1000N, can we pick up an object that weighs1000N? Explain your answer.
