Using the PhET Balancing Act, discuss the possibilities of balancing two forces acting on one side of a pivot point with a single force of the other. Select the best i. This is possible with a single force at the same distance from the pivot point but on the opposite side of the pivot point as one of the forces. ii. This is possible with a single force at the same distance as the point half way between the two forces from the pivot point but on the opposite side of the pivot point. iii. This requires two forces. a

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)

What is the angular momentum of the bar about the axle?

Apulley with mass mp and a radius rp is attached to the ceiling, in a gravity field of 9.81 m/s2 and rotates with no friction about its pivot.
