A long platform is holding your physics teacher in the air above some hungry alligators. Your physics teacher has a mass of 75 kg and is located 2 m from one end. The 10.0 m platform has a mass of 10.0 kg, and its center of gravity is located 4.0 m from the same end. The platform is being held up by two students, one at either end. (12 points) a. What force is required by each student to hold the platform up?

11. you want to calculate the displacement of an object thrown over a bridge. using -10 m/s2 for acceleration due to gravity, what would be the total displacement of the object if it took 8 seconds before hitting the water?

Afixed electric space heater wired by a cable with an ampacity of 30 a should draw a maximum current of a. 30 a. b. 24 a. c. 15 a. d. 27 a.

1. consider the case in which air fills air shocks on a truck trailer. the pressure in the shocks is 2 mpa. the temperature is 300 k. the diameter of the shock piston is 10 cm and the initial length of the cylindrical cavity containing the compressed air is 40 cm. a. the truck is gradually loaded over a period of a day in a static setting. the temperature is held constant for the atmosphere and thus for the gas shock. calculate the compressibility of the air in the shock for this condition when the truck is initially being loaded. b. if the shocks were loaded in a dynamic setting by driving over bumps, what would be the compressibility? state your assumption. c. what is the initial load on the shock if the shock is in an atmospheric 100 kpa? d. if the shock is compressed using the process described in part a, and the air shock compressed air cavity length decreases to 20 cm, what is the additional load applied to the shock?
