Chapter 2, Problem 2.21SP
A rope tow is used to pull skiers up a snow-covered slope that is 1000 ft long and has a slope of 17° measured from the horizontal. On a recent good skiing day it was noted that the maximum number of people on the tow never exceeded 38. Calculate the maximum tension in the rope under these conditions. Assume that the total weight of each skier is 175 lb. Assume that the slope is frictionless

A worker horizontally pulls a package for a distance of 100 m. A rope connecting the package to the worker's shoulder creates a slope of 450. The force along the rod that the worker has to use in this setting is 2 kN. Calculate the work done and the total power used by the worker if the total time taken is 25 seconds.

The log has an average diameter of 300 mm. A truck moves slowly across the bridge, which spans 2.5 m. Assume that the weight of the truck is equally distributed between the 2 legs.

- A great pianist is getting ready for his concert and plan to move his exclusive grand piano to his concert venue. The 700 kg piano needs to be loaded onto a truck bed which is about 1.5 m high.1.Initially, the movers decide to use an adjustable ramp to move the piano. The ramp can only be adjusted up to 10 m long and the inclination angle must not exceed 20° to ensure a safe loading process. Determine the range of a suitable length and angle of the ramp. 2.On a second thought, the movers are considering whether it is easier to lift the piano straight up onto the truck bed or push it up along the rough the ramp. With the aid of an appropriate free body diagram, justify the most efficient option for the movers to load the piano to the truck bed with constant speed. State clearly all the assumptions made, and the principles used in the calculations to support your answers.arrow_forwardA weight of 10 N resting on an inclined plane at 30° to the horizontal is connected by a string passing over a frictionless pulley at the upper end of the inclined plane.
