Chapter 12: Q. 31 (page 331)
The 3.0-m-long, 100 kg rigid beam of FIGURE EX12.31 is supported at each end. An 80 kg student stands 2.0 m from support 1. How much upward force does each support exert on the beam?

In FIGURE CP12.88, a 200 g toy car is placed on a narrow 60-cm-diameter track with wheel grooves that keep the car going in a circle. The 1.0 kg track is free to turn on a frictionless, vertical axis. The spokes have negligible mass. After the car’s switch is turned on, it soon reaches a steady speed of 0.75 m/s relative to the track. What then is the track’s angular velocity, in rpm?

A 120-cm-wide sign hangs from a 5.0 kg, 200-cm-long pole. A cable of negligible mass supports the end of the rod as shown in Figure P12.62. What is the maximum mass of the sign if the maximum tension in the cable without breaking is 300 N?

An 800 g steel plate has the shape of the isosceles triangle shown in FIGURE P12.50. What are the x- and y-coordinates of the center of mass?
Hint: Divide the triangle into vertical strips of width dx, then relate the mass dm of a strip at position x to the values of x and dx.

Is the center of mass of the dumbbell in FIGURE Q12.1 at point a, b, or c? Explain.

A 75 g, 30-cm-long rod hangs vertically on a frictionless, horizontal axle passing through its center. A 10 g ball of clay traveling horizontally at 2.5 m/s hits and sticks to the very
bottom tip of the rod. To what maximum angle, measured from vertical, does the rod (with the attached ball of clay) rotate?
