Computation - A 6-kg bowling ball rests on a uniform beam of length L and mass M, as in the figure. The beam is supported at two points separated by a distance BL where ß = 0.59 and the bowling ball is a distance d from support point 1.

For some values, a correct calculation gives dmax > L. That means the bowling ball can be placed anywhere on the beam without tipping and, in that case, the correct answer is dmax = L = 4.9 m.) dmax = m L- -BL- M Report your numerical answer below, assuming three significant figures.

A homeowner is trying to move a stubborn rock from his yard. By using a a metal rod as a lever arm and a fulcrum (or pivot point) the homeowner will have a better chance of moving the rock. The homeowner places the fulcrum a distance ?=0.288 mfrom the rock, which has a mass of 465 kg, and fits one end of the rod under the rock's center of weight. If the homeowner can apply a maximum force of 671 N at the other end of the rod, what is the minimum total length ? of the rod required to move the rock? Assume that the rod is massless and nearly horizontal so that the weight of the rock and homeowner's force are both essentially vertical. The acceleration due to gravity is ?=9.81 m/s2.
A uniform 8.0-m, 1500-kg beam is hinged to a wall and supported by a thin cable attached 2.0 m from the free end of the beam, as shown in the figure below (Figure 1).
