A person practicing a yoga pose (look at the diagram below) is in static equilibrium. The diagram shows normal forces acting on the hands and feet of this person. There are also horizontal static friction forces on the hands and feet not shown in the diagram. Assume the lower body has a magnitude of 450 N and the weight of the upper body has a magnitude of 600N.
A. Consider the system to be the entire body and choose the rotation axis through the point at which the feet makes contact with the floor. Use the torque about this axis to find the total normal force and the floor exerts on the hands.
B. Now use the vertical component of the net force on the entire body to find the normal force of the floor on the feet.
C. What are the directions of the static friction forces on the hands and feet? Find an equation (don't calculate) relating magnitudes for these friction forces.

Consider a person holding a bag like in the diagram, palm facing
upwards, forearm parallel to the floor, and upper arm making a
right angle with their forearm. Masses are added to the bag until
the subject can no longer comfortably keep the angle between their
upper arm and forearm at 90 degrees.

(1) A 4m ladder has mass m= 10 kg. We assume that its centre of mass is half-way along its length. The ladder is leaning against a wall at an angle of 30° from the vertical, as shown in the figure. Suppose that the wall is frictionless smooth and slippery), and that the coefficient of static friction between the feet of the ladder and the floor is H. =0.6. Take the acceleration due to gravity to be g=10m/s" directed vertically...

Block A of mass 10 kg sits on top of Block B of mass 15 kg. Block B is being tugged by a force F and Block A is being tugged by a force FA . FA makes an angle ? = 10degrees with the horizontal and is a 7N force. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is .01while the coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and Block B is given as .5(see diagram below). Force...

Walk. To start walking horizontally, a person must accelerate their body forward using static friction. A person can reach a speed of 2.0 m / s in a distance of 30 cm, starting from rest. Assuming constant acceleration, a) draw a force diagram for the start of the ride. (b) Apply Newton's second law to find the minimum static friction coefficient for the ride described. (c) If you want to walk faster, would you need more or less friction? Why?...

nutaud 4) Read the following and revise your free body diagram as necessary. A common confusion when drawing extended free body diagrams is how to draw the force of gravity. For a static equilibrium situation like this, you should draw a single arrow to represent the force of gravity on an extended object. The tail of this vector is placed at the center of mass of the object. It is good practice to pause at this point and think about...
