A \({\rm{17}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{m}}\)high and \({\rm{11}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{m}}\)long wall under construction and its bracing are shown in Figure \({\rm{9}}{\rm{.32}}\). The wall is in stable equilibrium without the bracing but can pivot at its base. Calculate the force exerted by each of the 10 braces if a strong wind exerts a horizontal force of \({\rm{650}}\;{\rm{N}}\)on each square meter of the wall. Assume that the net force from the wind acts at a height halfway up the wall and that all braces exert equal forces parallel to their lengths. Neglect the thickness of the wall.

(a) What is the mechanical advantage of a wheelbarrow, such as the one inFigure\({\rm{9}}{\rm{.24}}\), if the center of gravity of the wheelbarrow and its load has a perpendicular lever arm of \({\rm{5}}{\rm{.50}}\;{\rm{cm}}\), while the hands have a perpendicular lever arm of \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.02}}\;{\rm{m}}\)? (b) What upward force should you exert to support the wheelbarrow and its load if their combined mass is\({\rm{55}}{\rm{.0}}\;{\rm{kg}}\)? (c) What force does the wheel exert on the ground?
