As shown in the figure below, a stick of length
L = 0.330 m
and mass
m = 0.205 kg
is in contact with a rough floor at one end and a frictionless bowling ball (diameter
d = 21.50 cm)
at some other point such that the angle between the stick and the floor is
θ = 30°.
Determine the following.
(a) magnitude of the force exerted on the stick by the bowling ball
N
(b) horizontal component of the force exerted on the stick by the floor
N
(c) vertical component of the force exerted on the stick by the floor
N
