a horizontal scaffold, of length 2.00 m and uniform mass 50.0 kg, is suspended from a building by two cables. The scaffold has dozens of paint cans stacked on it at various points. The total mass of the paint cans is 75.0 kg. The tension in the cable at the right is 722 N. How far horizontally from that cable is the center of mass of the system of paint cans?

A delivery truck is carrying a 120 kg refrigerator. The refrigerator is 2.20 m tall and 85.0 cm wide. The refrigerator is facing sideways and is prevented from sliding. The center of gravity of the refrigerator is located at its geometrical center. Determine the maximum acceleration that the truck can have before the refrigerator begins to tip over.
A 24 kg rectangular 4.00 m x 3.00 m rectangular sign is suspended from a horizontal 6.00 m long rod with a 5 kg mass as indicated in the figure. The left end of the rod is supported by a hinge, and the right end is supported by a thin cable making a 30.0° angle with the vertical. Draw a free body diagram and calculate the tension T in the cable. The thin cable breaks if it is pulled by more than 200 N. Show than in the present situation the cable can not support the sign without breaking. Show the cable is able to support the load if it is attached higher up such that it makes an angle of 20.0° angle S0.0 CE CREAM SHOP with the vertical.
A 120-kg refrigerator, 2.00 m tall and 85.0 cm wide, has its center of mass at its geometrical center. You are attempting to slide it along the floor by pushing horizontally on the side of the refrigerator. The coefficient of static friction between the floor and the refrigerator is 0.300. Depending on where you push, the refrigerator may start to tip over before it starts to slide along the floor. What is the highest distance above the floor that you can push the refrigerator so that it won't tip before it begins to slide? (in meters)
an object weighing 2.4 kilograms is suspended by two cables attached to its upper corners. the two cables make the same angle with the vertical. the tension in each cable is equal to 65% of the weight of the object. ignore the weight of the cables.
Two friends are carrying a 500 N wooden slab along a 45 degrees stairway. The slab is 1.0 m long and 0.40 m high. They each apply vertical upward force (black arrows) on the bottom edges of the box in such a way that the box remains parallel to the stairs as shown in the figure. What are the magnitudes of theforces exerted by the lower and higher friend, respectively?
