7.6 Below is a basketball goal with some typical (though not necessarily regulation) dimen- sions. The diameter of the hoop is 18 inches. The height of the rim is 10 ft. and the distance from the main support to point B (denoted by the distance y2) is 4.5 ft. If Dr. Nauman (205 lbs.) hangs on the rim at point B, what moment does he exert about point O? If Kevin Garnett (playing weight 253 lbs.) dunks and hangs on the side of the rim (at point A), what moment does he exert about the base of the post where it is cantilevered into the ground? y A B B ZI Aum | X | 7.6 Below is a basketball goal with some typical (though not necessarily regulation) dimen- sions.
