Mountain pull. A large mountain can slightly affect the direction of “down” as determined by a plumb line. Assume that we can model a mountain as a sphere of radius R=2.00 km and density (mass per unit volume) 2.6*103 kg/m3. Assume also that we hang a 0.50 m plumb line at a distance of 3R from the sphere’s center and such that the sphere pulls horizontally on the lower end. How far would the lower end move toward the sphere?

Three people are pulling a heavy object along the floor with forces A, B and C as shown in the figure. What is the resultant (i.e. suml of the three forces? The forces are given by (all angles are CCW from + x-axis): A = magnitude 20 N, direction 30º. B = magnitude 40 N, direction 140°. C= magnitude 30 N, direction 240º. в А х-ахis
An astronaut’s pack weighs 17.5 N when she is on the earth butonly 3.24 N when she is at the surface of a moon. What is the acceleration due to gravity on this moon?
wo forces are acting on a 1.08 kg object. One force is directed completely in the negative x direction and has a magnitude of 8.3 N, The second force has a magnitude of 7.5 N and is directed 28∘28∘ to the right of the negative y axis. Assume standard Cartesian coordinates. Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the object
A horizontal force F pushes against a block of mass m. The mass m in turn pushes against a bigger block of mass M. There isn't friction any between the larger block and the table, but there is friction in between the blocks (coef. of static friction is μs). What's the smallest force F that will hold the smaller mass m m against the larger mass M without letting the smaller mass m fall down?
A block of volume 600 × 10-6 m3 is held by a string at rest in honey as shown. ρblock = 7401 kg/m3, ρhoney = 1400 kg/m3, and g = 10.0 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the tension force on the block, in Newtons? Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. (No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.)

A 125 kg body sits at rest until 3 forces act up the body: F1 = 24.5 N @ 0o, F2 = 38.0 N @ 160o, and F3 = 44.8 N @ 235o. Determine: (a) The resultant force vector (b) The resultant acceleration vector (c) The velocity vector at 10.0s (d) The position vector at 10.0s
A 781 N sprinter can push his feet back against the starting blocks with a force of 1852 N in the horizontal direction. If the force is generated for 0.28 s, determine the horizontal velocity of the runner out of the blocks. Include magnitude and direction when reporting vectors.
The helicopter view in above figure shows two people pulling on a stubborn mule. The person on the right pulls with a force F1of magnitude 120N and direction of θ 1=60.0 0 The person on the left pulls with a force F2of magnitude 80.0N and direction of θ 2=75.0 0 . Find (a) the single force that is equivalent to the two forces shown and (b) the force that a third person would have to exert on the mule to make the resultant force equal to zero. The forces are measured in units of newtons (symbolized N).
