Let's assume that the Tower of Pisa is a uniform hollow cylinder of radius R = 9.8 m and height h=60 m. The center of Mass is located at height `h//2`, along the cylinder's central axis. In Fig. 11-18a, the cylinder is upright. In Fig. 11-18b, it leans rightward (loward the tower's southern wall) by `theta= 5.5`, which shifts the com by a distance d. Let's assume that the ground exerts only two forces on the tower. A normal force `vecF_(NL)= 0` acts on the left (northern) wall, and a normal force we acts on the right (southern) wall. By what percent does the magnitude Far increase because of the leaning?

To solve the problem regarding the leaning of the Tower of Pisa modeled as a hollow cylinder, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup The Tower of Pisa is modeled as a uniform hollow cylinder with: - Radius \( R = 9.8 \, \text{m} \) - Height \( h = 60 \, \text{m} \) - The center of mass (CM) is located at \( \frac{h}{2} = 30 \, \text{m} \) from the base. ...
