A uniform 2 meter stretcher has a mass of 5 kg. It is used by two persons to carry three masses of 40 kg, 10 kg, and 30 kg, which are located at 0.2 m, 0.5 m, and 1.5 m respectively from the left end of the stretcher. How much support force must each person exert to carry the stretcher?
Length of the stretcher is 2 m and hence it's CG is at 1m.
Let the forces required by the persons carrying them be F1 and F2.
F1 and F2 are acting upwards and all other load and weight is acting downwards.
To be in equilibrium, sum of all the forces must be zero i.e.,
Also, the stretcher must be in rotational equilibrium.
If we consider the point of action of F1 as origin, then the sum of the moments of the forces and the weights must be zero i.e.,
So,
A uniform 2 meter stretcher has a mass of 5 kg. It is used by two...
Three masses are attached to a uniform meter stick, as shown in the figure. The mass of the meter stick is 0.5 kg and the masses to the left of the fulcrum are m - 4.8 kg and my 4.8 kg. Find the mass my need to be attached to the right end of the stick to balance the system. 30 cm 40 cm 30 cm
Please help thank you! Three masses are attached to a uniform meter stick, as shown in the figure. The mass of the meter stick is 0.5 kg and the masses to the left of the fulcrum are m = 4.4 kg and m2 = 4.8 kg. Find the mass my need to be attached to the right end of the stick to balance the system - 30 cm 40 cm - 30 cm A wheel rotates without friction about a...
A uniform metal meter-stick is balanced with a 1.0 kg rock attached to the left end of the stick. If the support is located 0.25 m from the left end, what is the mass of the meter-stick? (Hint: meter-stick is 1 m long). 0.6 kg 2.0 kg 1.0 kg 3.0 kg
a uniform bar of weight 40N is 4 meter long. weights on 60N and 100N are placed on the bar at points which are 1.5 meter and 3 meter respectively from the left end. At what point on the bar must a single force be applied to support it in a horizontal position?
A uniform meter stick, mass is 0.2 kg, is able to rotate about an axis of rotation that passes through the 25 cm mark of the stick. The axis of rotation is parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the stick. There are also two small masses, each 0.5 kg, attached to the meter stick at the 0 cm mark and the 100 cm mark. 0 25 50 75 100 cm The stick is released from rest in the horizontal...
A 5 meter long plank has a mass of 4 kg. It is supported by 2 supports, the first at 1 meter from the end, and the second at 3 meters from that same end. How much upward force is supplied by the second support?
Problem 2: _This platform can be considered a uniform plank of mass 200. kg and length 3.00 m. A 50.0 kg mass is 75.0 cm from one end. It rests on supports on either side. How much force does each support exert?

4) A 1 meter-long, funny-shaped meter stick has an unknown mass but a center of gravity located at 0.75 m from the left end. When a metal wedge is placed at the middle of the bar and a .50-kg mass is hung from the left end, the bar balances perfectly on the metal wedge. a) Determine the mass of the funny-shaped meter stick (10 pts). b) Calculate the amount of upward force provided by the metal wedge (10 pts). 5)...
