Concept explainers

Center of Gravity of a system

The centre of gravity is a property that is based on the geometry of a rigid body or any particle. It is described as an equilibrium point or a hypothetical location where the total weight of the body is concentrated.

Question

A 650-N billboard worker stands on a 4.05-m scaffold weighing 600 N and supported by vertical ropes at each end. How far would the worker stand from one of the supporting ropes to produce a tension of 660 N in that rope?

How do you do this? A hungry bear weighing 700 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam (see figure below).

The basket weighs 80.0 N. a) When the bear is at x = 1.00 m, find the tension (in N) in the wire supporting the beam and the components of the force exerted by the wall on the left end of the beam. b) If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 875 N, what is the maximum distance (in m) the bear can walk before the wire breaks?
