19) The mobile in the figure below is in equilibrium. Object B has
mass of 0.75 kg. Determine the masses of objects A, C, and D.
(Neglect the weights of the crossbars.)

16) A woman holds a 2m-long uniform 10kg pole as

shown in figure. (a) Determine the forces she must
exert with each hand (magnitude and direction).

axis of rotation. The axis is perpendicular to the page. There are
in equilibrium, the axis about which torques are calculated
four forces acting on the door, and they have the same magnitude.
(a) must be located at a pivot.
(b) must be located at the objects center of gravity.
(c) should be located at the edge of the object.
(d) can be located anywhere.
24)

Rank the torque that each force produces, largest to smallest.

a) 4, 3, 2, 1
c) 2, 4, 3, 1
e) 1, 4, 3, 2

b) 3, 2, 1 and 4 (a two-way tie)

d) 2, 3 and 4 (a two-way tie), 1

21) Five hockey pucks are sliding across frictionless ice.

The drawing shows a top view of the pucks and the three forces
that act on each one. As shown, the forces have different
magnitudes (F, 2F, or 3F), and are applied at different points on
the pucks.

25)

Only one of the five pucks can be in equilibrium.

Which puck is it?

a) 1

b) 2

c) 3

d) 4

e) 5

22) A 60-kg woman stands on the very end of a uniform board,

of length l , which is supported one-quarter of the way from one
end and is balanced (as in the figure below). What is the mass
of the board?

a) 15 kg.

b) 20 kg.

c) 30 kg.

d) 60 kg.

e) 120 kg.
