It is important to work with a partner pay attention to your partner always ask if he needs help never take your eye off of him because in a second he could let go of that bench press because its too heavy and he could seriously be injured.
Answer:
50 N
4.2 N
Explanation:
i) The force needed to balance the boom is 2400 N. If the weight of the counterbalance is 2350 N, then the downward force the park attendant must apply is 50 N.
ii) When the boom is resting on the end support, the normal force is:
∑τ = Iα
-W (0.50) + F (3.0) − N (6.0) = 0
-0.50 W + 3.0 F = 6.0 N
N = (-0.50 W + 3.0 F) / 6.0
N = (-0.50 × 2350 + 3.0 × 400) / 6.0
N ≈ 4.2
