Two masses are attached to a uniform meter stick as shown in the figure below. The masses of m1 and m2 are as given and the meter stick weighs 150 g. A force F with unknown magnitude is applied on one end of the stick at an angle of 30° to balance the system. Please show the full solution.
Her foot pivots as a single structure about a single pivot in her ankle. When she stands on tiptoe, her foot pivots about her ankle. As shown in the foot diagram and the free-body diagram below, the forces on one foot are an upward force on her toes from the floor, a downward force on her ankle from the lower leg bone (called the Tibia), and an upward force on the heel of her foot from her Achilles Tendon. Suppose a 61.3 kg woman stands on one foot, on tiptoe, with the sole of her foot making a 25.0 degree angle with the floor, and with the distances are as shown in the figure.
A tractor is now drafted in to move the blo ck. The weight of the tractor is equally distributed over all four wheels and it pulls on the blo ck via a rope with tension T. The back wheels have a diameter of 1.6m and the front wheelshave a diameter of 80cm. The tractor motor generates a torque of τ on each of its back wheels that have radii Rb and masses mb. The front wheels of the tractor are smaller than the back wheels and have radii Rf and masses mf. Both sets of wheels can b e treated as uniform solid disks with moment ofinertia I = 1/2mR2. The mass of the tractor body, without the wheels, is M. If the wheels don't slip, show that the tractor can accelerate the block with an acceleration of (see image)

Q3/ A shaft has three eccentric of mass 1 kg each. The central plane of the eccentrics is 50 mm apart. The distances of the centers from the axis of rotation are 20, 30 and 20 mm and their angular positions are 120 apart. If the shaft is balanced by adding two niasses at a radius of 70 mm and at a distance 100 mm from the central plane of the middle eccentric, find the amount of the masses and their angular positions.
