Using a rope that will snap if the tension in it exceeds 387 N, you need to lower a bundle of old roofing material weighing 449 N from a point 6.1 m above the ground. Obviously if you hang the bundle on the rope, it will snap. So, you allow the bundle to accelerate downward. (a) What magnitude of the bundle’s acceleration will put the rope on the verge of snapping? (b) At that acceleration, with what speed would the bundle hit the ground?

- A bag of cement weighing 325 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires as suggested in Figure P4.23. Two of the wires make angles 1 = 60.0 and 2 = 40.0 with the horizontal. Assuming the system is in equilibrium, find the tensions T1, T2, and T3 in the wires. Figure P4.23 Problems 23 and 24.arrow_forwardYou find it takes 190 N of horizontal force to move an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of 2.4 m/s . You then load up the pickup and pump up its tires so that its total weight increases by 42%while the coefficient of rolling friction decreases by 19%. Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air resistance..arrow_forwardA transport plane takes off from a level landing field with two gliders in tow, one behind the other. The mass of each glider is 700 kg, and the total resistance (air drag plus friction with the runway) on each may be assumed constant and equal to 4300 N. The tension in the towrope between the transport plane and the first glider is not to exceed 12000 N. If a speed of 40 m/s is required for takeoff, what minimum length of runway is needed?arrow_forward
- A ball that weighs 0.5kg is suspended on a string from the top of a vertical pole fastened to the roof of a vehicle. What will the angle made by the string and the pole be if the vehicle is accelerating at a rate of 2.7 m/s^2 (Suppose there is no air resistance).arrow_forwardA 10.0 kg box rests on a horizontal board. One end of the board is slowly raised and it makes an angle with the floor. The box slides at a constant velocity when the plane makes an angle = 12.8o with the floor (Use this information to find k). Find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the box when the board is raised to an angle of = 13.9o with the floor.arrow_forwardA gymnast with mass mG = 50.0 kg suspends herself from the lowerend of a hanging rope of negligible mass.

- A chair of mass 12.0 kg is sitting on the horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force F = 45.0 N that is directed at an angle of 38.0 degrees below the horizontal and the chair slides along the floor.arrow_forwardAn 800 kg boulder is raised from a quarry 183 m deep by a long, uniform chain having a mass of 560 kg. This chain is of uniform strength, but at any point it can support a maximum tension no greater than 2.50 times its weight without breaking. What is the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry?arrow_forwardTo assess a patient who is suspected of having heart disease, the physician must examine the cardiac function when (a) the patient is at rest with a heart beating at a normal pace, and (b) when under stress, for example, after exercise. To simulate the conditions of stress, the patient exercises by walking a treadmill to increase heart beat and sustain high levels of cardiac stress. Suppose a 50 kg patient exercises on the treadmill, angled at 30◦ from the ground, exerting a constant force of 500 N up the slope of the treadmill while running a constant velocity of 4 m/s along the treadmill for 5 minutes. The coefficient of friction of the treadmill is µs = 0.45. Determine the work done by the patient.arrow_forward

The applied force F has magnitude 85 N and acts downward at an angle 0 = 10° with respect to the horizontal, as shown below. The box is initially at rest at the position x/ a).

The cars, riding on a support cable, are pulled by a second cable attached to the support tower on each car. Assume that the cables are taut and inclined at angle u = 35.What is the difference in tension between adjacent sections of pull cable if the cars are at the maximum permissible mass and are being accelerated up the incline at 0.81 m/s2?arrow_forwardA box rests on top of a flat bed truck. The box has a mass of m = 20 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the box and truck is u, = 0.81 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and truck is Hk = 0.62. 1) The truck accelerates from rest to v; = 16 m/s in t = 12 s (which is slow enough that the box will not slide).
