Chapter 2: Torque and Static Equilibrium
c) A uniform rod AB with length 2 m and weight 20 N is placed on two supports A and B. A
weight of 10 N is hanged 0.4 m from A. Find force X and Y on both supports.
X Y
10 N W=20 N
d) Two men are carrying a uniform horizontal ladder weighs 400 N. The first man lifts at a point
3 m from the midpoint of the ladder and the second man lifts at a point 4.5 m from the
midpoint. Determine the reaction experienced by each man
e) Calculate the force required to produce 20 Nm torque at an angle of 50º from along a 300 cm
rod?
f) Determine the torque on a bolt, if you are pulling with a force of 200 N directed perpendicular
to a wrench of length 20 cm? How does the torque change for a wrench of twice the length?
g) A hand exerts a force of 90 N on a scale at 32 cm from the joint center at the elbow. The triceps
attach to the ulna at a 90° angle, and at a distance of 3 cm from the joint center. The weight of
the forearm and the hand is 40 N with the forearm/hand center of gravity located 17 cm from
the elbow joint center. Considering these conditions, how much force is being exerted by the
triceps? Remember that you are interested in the forces acting on the forearm system.
