�7 A 73 kg man stands on a level bridge of
length L. He is at distance L/4 from one end. The
bridge is uniform and weighs 2.7 kN. What are the
magnitudes of the vertical forces on the bridge from
its supports at (a) the end farther from him and (b) the nearer end?

�8 A crate, in the form of a cube with edge lengths of 1.2 m, contains
a piece of machinery; the center of mass of the crate and its
contents is located 0.30 m above the crate�s geometrical center. The
crate rests on a ramp that makes an angle u with the horizontal.As u
is increased from zero, an angle will be reached at which the crate
will either tip over or start to slide down the ramp. If the coefficient
of static friction ms between ramp and crate is 0.60, (a) does the crate
tip or slide and (b) at what angle u does this occur? If ms ! 0.70,
(c) does the crate tip or slide and (d) at what angle u does this occur?
(Hint:At the onset of tipping, where is the normal force located?
