A physical therapist gone wild has constructed the (stationary) assembly of massless pulleys and cords seen in Fig. 12-24. One long cord wraps around all the pulleys, and shorter cords suspend pulleys from the ceiling or weights from the pulleys. Except for one, the weights (in newtons) are indicated.
(a) What is that last weight? (Hint:When a cord loops halfway around a pulley as here, it pulls on the pulley with a net force that is twice the tension in the cord.)
(b) What is the tension in the short cord labeled T?

Question: A physics Brady Bunch, whose weights in newtons are indicated in Fig.12-27, is balanced on a seesaw. What is the number of the person who causes the largest torque about the rotation axis At fulcrum fdirected (a) out of the page and (b) into the page?

The leaning Tower of Pisa is 59.1 m high and 7.44 m in diameter. The top of the tower is displaced from the vertical.Treat the tower as a uniform, circular cylinder. (a) What additional displacement, measured at the top, would bring the tower to the verge of toppling? (b) What angle would the tower then make with thevertical?
A uniform beam is long and has a mass of . In Fig. 12-74, the beam is supported in a horizontal position by a hinge and a cable, with angle. In unit-vector notation, what is the force on the beam rom the hinge?
Question: In Fig.12-34, a uniform beam of weight 500 Nand length 3.00 m is suspended horizontally. On the left it is hinged to a wall; on the right it is supported by a cable bolted to the wall at distance Dabove the beam. The least tension that will snap the cable is 1200 N. (a) What value of D corresponds to that tension? (b) To prevent the cable from snapping, should Dbe increased or decreased from that value?
