A man holds a 199-N ball in his hand, with the forearm horizontal (see the figure). He can support the
ball in this position because of the flexor muscle force , which is applied perpendicular to the forearm.

The drawing shows a uniform horizontal beam attached to a vertical wall by a frictionless hinge and
supported from below at an angle ​θ​ = 44​o​ by a brace that is attached to a pin. The beam has a weight
of 334 N. Three additional forces keep the beam in equilibrium. The brace applies a force
P¯ to the right end of the beam that is directed upward at the angle ​θ​ with respect to the horizontal.
The hinge applies a force to the left end of the beam that has a horizontal component
H¯ and a vertical component V¯. Find the magnitudes of these three forces.

of the rectangle is twice as long as the short side. An axis of rotation is shown perpendicular to the
plane of the rectangle at its center. A third force (not shown in the drawing) is applied to corner A,

A playground carousel is rotating counterclockwise about its center on frictionless bearings. A person
standing still on the ground grabs onto one of the bars on the carousel very close to its outer edge
and climbs aboard. Thus, this person begins with an angular speed of zero and ends up with a nonzero
angular speed, which means that he underwent a counterclockwise angular acceleration. The carousel
has a radius of 1.54 m, an initial angular speed of 3.09 rad/s, and a moment of inertia of 123 kg·m​2​.
The mass of the person is 41.6 kg. Find the final angular speed of the carousel after the person climbs
aboard.
