    Solve for Tension in A-Shaped Ladder

    Torque HELP! :bugeye: The drawing shows an A-shaped ladder. Both sides of the ladder are equal in length. This ladder is standing on a frictionless horizontal surface, and only the crossbar (which has a negligible mass) of the "A" keeps the ladder from collapsing. The ladder is uniform and has...

    How Far Can a Person Walk on an Overhanging Plank Before It Tips?

    ..and so the sum of all forces and the sum of torque should both equal zero but do I use the torque equation at all? T=R*F or T=F*L was what I did at first completely wrong??

    How Far Can a Person Walk on an Overhanging Plank Before It Tips?

    A uniform plank of length 5.8 m and weight 216 N rests horizontally on two supports, with 1.1 m of the plank hanging over the right support (see the drawing). To what distance x can a person who weighs 441 N walk on the overhanging part of the plank before it just begins to tip? This is what...

    How High Was the Basketball Dropped to Achieve a Momentum of 2.5 kgm/s?

    Oh yeah...and so I would solve for velocity first then I would use the kinematic equation,for velocity acceleration and height? (vf^2)=(vi^2)+2ah ??

    How High Was the Basketball Dropped to Achieve a Momentum of 2.5 kgm/s?

    Ok, I've done work on this problem, but I think that everything I try is wrong. I can't get any help from my book or my teacher because he made it up and wants up to try it. But I have no clue how to start. Please help me :cry: A basketball (m = 0.57 kg) is dropped from rest. Just before...
