A Norman window has the shape of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircle. (Thus the diameter of the semicircle is equal to the width of the rectangle.) If the perimeter of the window is 24 ft, find the value of x so that the greatest possible amount of light is admitted.
A weather vane initially at rest has a moment of inertia of 0.113 kg · m2 about its axis of rotation. A 46.0 g piece of clay is thrown at the vane and sticks to it at a point 14.5 cm from the axis. The initial velocity of the clay is 11.5 m/s, directed perpendicular to the vane. Find the angular velocity of the weather vane just after it is struck.
%) A metal plate has the shape of an isosceles TRAPEZOID that is 7 feet across the top, 3 feet across the bottom, and 4 feet high. If this trapezoidal plate is immersed vertically in a liquid that weighs w lb/ft' with its upper base 10 feet below the surface of the liquid, SET UP (but DO NOT EVALUATE) AN INTEGRAL (or INTEGRALS), in terms of y, that represents the amount of FLUID FORCE that is exerted by the liquid...

To be able to find the center of gravity, the center of mass, and the centroid of a composite body. A centroid is an object's geometric center. For an object of uniform composition, its centroid is also its center of mass. Often the centroid of a complex composite body is found by, first, cutting the...
Video Example EXAMPLE 1 A dam has the shape of a trapezoid shown in the top figure. The height is 20 m and the width is 40 m at the top and 20 m at the bottom. Find the force on the dam due to hydrostatic pressure if the water level is 6 m from the top of the dam. 40 m SOLUTION We choose a vertical x-axis with origin at the surface of the water and directed downward as...
Learning Goal Part A To be able to find the center of gravity, the center of mass, and the centroid of a composite body. An object is made from a uniform piece of sheet metal. The object has dimensions of a : 1.35 ft ,b = 3.82 ft , and c = 2.45 ft. A hole with diameter d = 0700 ft is centered at (1.12, 0.675). Find 2,y, the coordinates of the body's centroid (Figure 1) Express your answers...
