1. A 3.0 meters long solid shaft makes an angle of 35 degrees with the horizontal. A vertical
force of 50 N is applied 0.60 m from the upper end. What is the magnitude of the torque
due to the vertical force about each end?
2. A Ladder of 6.0 meters in length weighs 150 N rests on horizontal ground and leans at an
angle of 65 degrees with the horizontal against a smooth vertical wall. How far up the ladder
may a 700 N person go before the ladder slips? The coefficient of friction between ladder
and ground is 0.40.
3. A Flat bar is loaded with boxes as shown in
figure at right. Box M = 50 kg, what must be
the magnitude of mass m so that the bar
becomes level? Neglect the weight of the bar.
What torque about each end of the bar?

In a relay race, each contestant runs 25.0 m while carrying an egg balanced on a spoon, turns around, and comes back to the starting point. Edith runs the first 25.0 m in 20.0 s. On the return trip she is more confident and takes only 15.0 s. What is the magnitude of her average velocity for (a) the first 25.0 m? (b) The return trip? (c) What is her average velocity for the entire round trip? (d) What is her average speed for the round trip?
Earthquake produce several types of shock waves. The most well-known is the P-waves and the S-waves. In the Earth's crust, the P-waves travel at around 6.5 km/s, while S-waves move at about 3.5 km/s. The actual speeds vary depending of the type of material they are going through. The time delay between the arrival of these two waves at seismic recording station tells geologist how far away the earthquake occured. If the time delay is 33 s, how far from the seismic station did the earthquake occur?
