A pole-vaulter is holding a 2.5 kg, 5.0 m long vaulting pole parallel to the ground. The center of gravity of the pole is at its midpoint. He grips the pole with his right-hand 10 cm from the top end of the pole and with his left hand 1.0 m from the top end of the pole. How large should the force be to keep it horizontal? (assume that he exerts only vertical forces on the pole)

1)The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) studiesthe physiological effects of large accelerations on astronauts.Some of these studies use a machine known as a centrifuge. Thismachine consists of a long arm, to one end of which is attached achamber in which the astronaut sits. The other end of the arm isconnected to an axis about which the arm and chamber can berotated. The astronaut moves on a circular path, much like a modelairplane flying in a circle on a guideline. The chamber is located15 m from the center of the circle. At what speed must the chambermove so that an astronaut is subjected to 6.9 times theacceleration due to gravity? (in m/s)

2)At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindricallyshaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seatsfacing the axis, their backs against the outer wall. At one instantthe outer wall moves at a speed of 4.0 m/s, and an 83 kg personfeels a 460 N force pressing against his back. What is the radiusof the chamber?
(in m)

3)A "swing" ride at a carnival consists of chairs that are swung ina circle by 12.0 m cables attached to a vertical rotating pole, asthe drawing shows. (? = 55.5°) Suppose the total mass of a chairand its occupant is 230 kg.
(a) Determine the tension in the cable attached to the chair.(inN)

(b) Find the speed of the chair.(in m/s)

A person carries a plank of wood 2 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holding it up at 50 cm from the end of the plank with force F2. If the plank has a mass of 20 kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the plank, what are the magnitudes of the forces F1 and F2?

A person carries a plank of wood 2.00 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holding it up at 0.500 m from the end of the plank with force F2.
