The Harrier Jump Jet is a fixed wing military jet designed for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL). It is capable of rotating its jets from a horizontal to a vertical orientation in order to takeoff, land and conduct horizontal maneuvers. Determine the vertical thrust required to accelerate an 8600-kg Harrier upward at 0.40 m/s/s.
A rocket has lifted off from the launch pad and is beginning its ascent. During the ascent, one of the engines fails and the thrust is now less than the weight of the rocket. Then the rocket will
slow down and then begin falling back to Earth, possibly exploding on impact
continue climbing more slowly than before the engine failure
stop and hover motionless in mid-air
To determine the location of the center of mass of a car, the car is driven over a scale.

and when the rear wheels are over the scale, the scale reads 6500 N. The distance
between the front and rear wheels is 3.20 m. How far behind the front wheels is the
center of mass located?

- Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle?

- Michael Jordan has a portable basketball hoop in his driveway. He has set the basket at 8 ft (2.4 m) high so he can practice dunking the ball (he’s a bit older now, so he can’t quite jump “Air” Jordan style). He slams the ball through the hoop and then hangs on to the rim. This exerts a downward force of 600 N on the front of the rim. The front of the rim is 1.1 m in front of the front edge of the portable hoop’s base. The mass of the whole portable basketball hoop is 70 kg. The center of gravity of the portable hoop is 1.0 m behind the front edge of the base. How much torque is produced around the front of the hoop base by the 600 N force Air Jordan exerts on the front of the rim? How much torque is needed to tip the hoop? What is the largest vertical force that can be exerted on the front edge of the rim before the portable hoop begins to tip?arrow_forwardA) When kicking a ball, the angular acceleration of the kicking leg is at a maximum when the lower leg is vertical and at the instant the foot strikes the ball. Calculate the joint reaction forces at the knee and muscle force exerted by the quadriceps at the instant just before the ball is kicked. At this instant, the angular velocity (w = 9rad/s) and the angular acceleration is (a = 402rad/s²). The weight of the lower leg (including the foot) is 7 kg, and the mass moment of inertia about the centre of rotation of the knee is 0.35 kg – m?. The distance from the patellar tendon to the center of rotation of the knee joint is 3 cm, and the distance from the COM of the lower leg to the centre of rotation of the knee is 20 cm.
