an upward force of magnitude F/2 be exerted on the
meterstick to keep the meter stick in equilibrium.

2. The figure above shows a uniform beam of length L=2.0 m and mass m=2.0 kg that hangs horizontally and
is attached to a vertical wall. A block of mass M=5.0 kg is suspended from the far end of the beam by a

.net/2.of50(z.o)-2o(i.o)=OT=/20mgFzon
cable. A support cable runs from the wall to the outer edge of the beam. Both cables are of negligible mass.
a. Draw a free body diagram of the beam
b. Calculate the tension on the support cable

c. The wall exerts a force Fw on the left end of the beam. For which of the following actions is the
magnitude of the vertical component of Fw smallest?
i. Keeping the support cable and block as shown in the diagram
ii. Moving the lower end of the support cable the center of the beam
iii. Moving the block to the center of the beam
iv. Moving both the support and the block to the center of the beam
 3. A solid disk of unknown mass and known radius of 0.5 m is used as
a pulley in a lab experiment. A small block of mass m=2 kg is
attached to a string, the other end of which is attached to the pulley
and wrapped around it several times. The block is released from rest
and takes a time of t=1.41 seconds to fall a distance of D=2.0 meters
to the floor.
a. Calculate the linear acceleration of the falling block.
b. Calculate the torque acting on the pulley EF=mq
c. Calculate the mass of the solid disk

7. A turntable with a moment of inertia of 5.4X10​-3​ kg m​2​ rotates freely with an angular speed of 33 1/3 rpm.
Riding on the rim of the turntable, 15 cm from the center, is a cute 32g mouse. If the mouse walks to the
center of the turntable, calculate the angular speed of the turntable when the mouse reaches the center.
