In both cases, a massless rod is supported by fulcrum, and a 200-kg hanging mass is suspended from the left end of the rod by a cable. A downward force F keeps the rod in rest. The rod in Case A is 50 cm long, and the rod in case B is 40 cm long (each rod is marked at 10-cm intervals). The magnitude of each vertical force F exerted on the rod will be
A car accelerates from 0 to 25 m/s in 5 s. If the car’s tires have a diameter of 70 cm, how many revolutions does a tire make while accelerating?
A car is moving up the side of a circular roller coaster loop of radius 12 m. The angular velocity is [katex] 1.8 \, \text{rad/s} [/katex] and angular acceleration is [katex] -0.82 \, \text{rad/s}^2 [/katex]. The car is at the same elevation as the center of the loop. Find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration.
Two masses, my = 32 kg and mg = 38 kg, are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley. The pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius R = 0.311 m and mass 3.1 kg. Initially my is on the ground and mg rests 2.5 m above the ground. If the system is released, use conservation of energy to determine the speed of me just before it strikes the ground. Assume the pulley bearing is frictionless.
A boy is sitting at a distance [katex] d_1 [/katex] from the fulcrum, and girl is sitting at a distance [katex] d_2 [/katex] from the fulcrum, with [katex] d_1 > d_2 [/katex]. The seesaw is level, with the two ends at the same height. Derive an equation for the minimum mass of the seesaw that will keep it balanced with the two children on it.
[katex]F_2 [/katex], the force exerted by the lower worker, is more than half of the weight of the plate, and [katex] F_1 [/katex], the force exerted by the upper worker, is less than half of the weight of the plate. This means that the worker standing lower on the slope is doing more of the work to keep the plate stationary. The job is not being shared equally due to the effect of the slope

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
