Chapter 10, Problem 26PQ
A person of mass m stands on a rope ladder that is hanging from a freely floating balloon of mass M. The balloon is initially at rest with respect to the ground. (The buoyant force on the person–balloon system is countering the force of gravity.)
a. In what direction will the balloon move if the person starts to climb the rope ladder at constant velocity
b. At what speed will the balloon move if the person starts to climb the rope ladder at constant velocity

a. A particle of mass m accelerates from rest down a rough
inclined plane, inclined at an angle 0 with respect to the
horizontal and whose coefficient of friction is u. Apply
Newton's laws in Cartesian coordinates to determine how
far the particle will travel in time t.
b. A particle of mass m is released on the side of a
semicircular track that points downward. The radius of the
semicircular track is R. Using Newton's second law in polar
coordinates, determine how long it will take the particle to
come back to the point of release
