The action of the moment of force relative to the instantaneous axis will lead to the rotation of the spool around point O clockwise, and it will roll to the right.

The moment of force relative to the instantaneous axis is zero, so in this case, the thread will unwind, leaving the spool in place.

The moment of force will lead to the rotation of the spool counterclockwise, and it will roll to the left.

The force needed to pull the cart equals the magnitude of the friction force acting on the cart from the rod.

Consider first the case where force moves the cart left (see figure above). In this case, forces and act on the rod, as shown in the figure. Since the rod is in equilibrium, for the moments of forces acting on it, we can write

For equilibrium of the body, two conditions must be met:

1. the sum of all forces acting on the body must be zero:
   
   (this equality must hold for the projections of all forces onto any line);
2. the sum of the moments of all forces acting on the body relative to any fixed axis must also be zero:
   
   As the fixed axis (see figure below), let's choose a horizontal line parallel to the wall and passing through the center of the sphere. Forces and are directed along the radii of the sphere, so their moments relative to the chosen axis are zero. From the last condition, it follows that the moment of force must also be zero, which means this force must be directed along the radius of the sphere. Let's now write equation (1) for the projections of forces onto the vertical and horizontal directions:
   
   
   where , whence we find:
   
   
   According to Newton's third law, the pressure force of the sphere on the wall is equal in magnitude to force F and directed in the opposite direction.

The cylinder does not tip over if the vertical line passing through the center of gravity of the cylinder passes through its base.

Four dynamometers are sufficient for weighing. The sum of their readings equals the weight of the bar. The metal bar can be suspended from dynamometers located, for example, at the same distance from each other.

Let and be the lengths of the parts into which the inextensible spring is divided by point A, where a mass needs to be suspended, and and be the stiffnesses of these parts of the spring. Since when suspending a weight, the extension of the whole spring is times greater than the extension of the part of this spring, the stiffness of the whole spring is times less than the stiffness of the part of the spring (see problem 14), i.e., where . When suspending a mass , a weight will act on the upper part of the spring and it will extend by The lower part of the spring will extend by while i.e., Hence

The force required to tip the cube is minimal if it is perpendicular to the diagonal plane passing through the edge about which the cube tips, and is applied to the second edge of the cube lying in this diagonal plane.

Solution: If a horizontal force is applied to the block near its base, it will start moving. If this force is applied at height from the floor, then and it will start tipping over around the edge of the base. Therefore and ; is the side of the base.

During braking, the friction force acts on the car wheels. Let's apply forces and to the center of gravity of the car, equal to and directed in different directions (see figure). This can be done, since the sum of these forces and their moments relative to any axis are zero.

Now can be considered as the braking force, and and as a couple of forces causing the car to rotate around the axis passing through the point of contact of the wheels with the road, as a result of which the front end of the car lowers.

The couple of forces will cause the plate to rotate around its center of mass.

Since the sum of the forces acting on the plate is zero, its center of mass will remain at rest.

To determine the angle , consider the moments of the forces acting on the rod and relative to point A (see figure above). Having considered the moments of the forces acting on the rod relative to point C, find the force acting in the hinge A (see problem 27; the line of action of force passes through the intersection point of the lines of action of forces and , lying on the midpoint of side BC of the equilateral triangle ABC): Its projection onto the direction of the rod . The equilibrium is unstable: for any small deviation from the found position of equilibrium, the system cannot return to it on its own, moreover, the changed ratio of the moments of forces acting on the rod will contribute to the further displacement of the system in the same direction.

Hint: By lines parallel to any of the sides, the triangle is divided into thin strips. Obviously, the center of gravity of the triangle lies on the line passing through the midpoints of these strips, i.e., on the median.

The center of mass of each rod lies at its midpoint. Connecting the midpoints of the rods, we get a triangle whose side lengths are half the side lengths of the given triangle and, consequently, proportional to the masses of the corresponding rods. The angle bisectors of the resulting triangle divide its sides into parts proportional to the other two sides.

Let the distance from the center of mass of the plate to the center of the circle be . From symmetry considerations, it is obvious that the center of mass of the plate lies on its diameter passing through the center of the hole (see figure). If we fill the hole with the material from which the plate is made, the center of the resulting solid plate will be at the center of the circle. Therefore, the equality must hold. Substituting and here, where is the surface density of the plate material, we get .

The logs will be in equilibrium if the moment of the pressure force from the upper log on each of the lower logs does not exceed the moment of the friction force of the upper log with the corresponding lower log relative to the line of contact of the log with the ground.

The cylinder will roll down at an angle of inclination of the plank .

The center of mass of the cylinder with the hole (point O) is located at a distance from the axis of the cylinder (see problem 36). When the plank is tilted, the cylinder rotates so that its center of mass is on the vertical line passing through the point of contact of the cylinder with the plank. However, if this vertical line passes from the axis of the cylinder at a distance greater than (see the following figure), equilibrium is impossible. This means that the cylinder will start rolling when the angle is such that At the same time, the cylinder will start sliding at such an angle of inclination of the plank at which hence ; , therefore rolling will occur before sliding.
