During a circus act, one performer swings upside down hanging from a trapeze while holding another performer, also upside-down, by the calves. The legs (femurs) of the lower performer undergo deformation due to the upward force from the upper performer. If the upward force on the lower performer's legs is 3mg (three times her weight), how much do the bones (the femurs) in her upper legs stretch in meters? You may assume each bone is equivalent to a uniform rod 34 cm long and 1.75 cm in radius and the legs are massless, serving only to transmit the upward force on the torso. Her mass is 62 kg and Young's modulus for tension on bones is 1.6 × 1010 N/m2. ΔL =

A person who weighs 744 N steps onto a spring scale in the bathroom, and the spring compresses by 0.510 cm. What is the weight of another person who compresses the spring by 0.380 cm?
We tie an 80 cm long rubber cord to the ceiling and attach a 50 g weight o its other end. The cord gets extended by 4.0 cm. We raise the weight to the ceiling and let it down. What is the force of the string, when the weight reaches its lowest point?
A simple pendulum consists of a 2.0 kg bob attached to a light string 3.0 m in length. While hanging at rest with the string vertical, the bob is struck sharply giving it a horizontal speed of 4.5 m/s. When the string makes an angle of 30 with the vertical find a) its speed and the tension in the string. b) What is the angle of the string with the vertical when it reaches its highest point?
A steel ball 1density = 7860 kg>m32 with a diameter of 6.4 cmis tied to an aluminum wire 82 cm long and 2.5 mm in diameter.The ball is whirled about in a vertical circle with a tangential speedof 7.8 m>s at the top of the circle and 9.3 m>s at the bottom of thecircle. Find the amount of stretch in the wire a. at the bottom of the circle.
Please help with the question. Parts a and b. Thank you so much! I attached them below.
A Physic student has a 0.25 m length of string. She attached one end to the ceiling and the other end to a toy plane. If the toy plane weighs 0.5 kg, find the maximum speed of the plane and the angle that it makes with the vertical if the maximum tension in the string before it snaps is 10 N.
As of 2008, 42 people have survived a fall from a height above 10,000 feet without a parachute. Without air resistance, a person would hit the ground with a speed of 240 m/s (540 mph)However, by placing your body in a skydiving position (see photo)you can maximize your cross-sectional area and take advantage of the drag force to limit your speed. In this positionyour terminal speed will only be 54 m/s (120 mph)This is still a high rate of speed. Just imagine being in an automobile accident at 120 mph! Nevertheless, there is a higher probability of survival, depending upon what you land on. Afterall, it is not the fall that will kill you, but the impact. you strike concrete at 54 m/s, we will say nice things about you at your funeralYou can take comfort in the fact that you won't even feel Contrary to popular belief, hitting water at this speed is not much betterYour body will have to displace and compress the water as you enter it. But water, and most liquids, are difficult to…
On the way to Hilton Head, S.C. for Spring Break, your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. A tow truck weighing 4500 lbs comes along and agrees to tow your car, which weighs 1800 lbs, to the nearest town. The driver of the truck attaches his cable to your car at an angle of 22° from the horizontal. He tells you that his cable has a strength of 550 lbs. He plans to take 10 seconds to tow your car at a constant acceleration from rest, in a straight line along the flat road, until he reaches the maximum speed limit of 45 miles/hour. Can the driver carry out his plan? You assume that rolling friction behaves like kinetic friction, and the coefficient of rolling friction between your tires and the road is 0.10.
You have a summer job working downtown washing windows on skyscrapers (the pay is great and so are the medical benefits). The platform you and your partner are using to get to the windows is a meter wide and four meters long. You know from hauling the platform out of your truck countless times that it has a mass of 70 kg. It is supported by two cables, one at each end, mounted on-center to prevent the platform from tipping over as it is pulled up the side of the building at a constant speed. If you (mass of 55 kg) are standing on the platform 1 meter from one cable while your partner (mass of 87 kg) is 1.3 meters from the other cable and both of you are half a meter from the side, what is the tension in each cable? Assume the platform has a uniform mass distribution and is of negligible thickness.
Illustrated below is a 14-lb wooden pole tied on a 3-ft long rope at the bottom of a freshwater lake (γ = 62.47 lbs/ft3). The pole is 10 feet long and has a uniform cross-section of 7.5 in2. If the support is 8 feet below the free surface, determine the angle β produced.
