Integrate ⌠( xcos^2(x))dx

We must first use trigonometric identities to simplify cos 2 (x). We can use the formula cos(A+B) = cos(A)cos(B) - sin(A)sin(B) , where A=x and B=x , so that we get cos(2x) = cos 2 (x) - sin 2 (x) = 2cos 2 (...

A uniform plank of wood of mass 32 kg and length 4.0 m is used to cross a ditch. In the ditch is a rock, which is used to support the plank horizontally 0.80 m from one end. The other end is supported by the bank. Calculate the rock's supporting force.

We need to calculate moments about a point through which one of the forces is acting. I choose the bank support point. At this point, moments are caused by the weight of the plank acting at its centre of mas...
