Calculate the maximum acceleration of a car that is heading up a 4.00slope (one that makes an angle of 4.00with the horizontal) under the following road conditions. Assume that only half the weight of the car is supported by the two drive wheels and that the coefficient of static friction is involved—that is, the tires are not allowed to slip during the acceleration. (Ignore rolling.) (a) On wet concrete. (b) On wet concrete. (C) On ice, assuming that s=0.100 , the same as for shoes on ice.
Show that, as explained in the text, a force F exerted on a flexible medium at its center and perpendicular to its length (such as on the tightrope wire in Figure 5.26) gives rise to a tension of magnitude T=F/2sin() .
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? FIGURE P5.76

In comparing two unequal forces on a rigid body, is it possible to have the larger force produce lesstorque than the smaller force?a. Yes b. No
The person in Figure P4.49 weighs 170. lb. Eachcrutch makes an angle of 22.0° with the vertical (as seen from thefront). Half of the person’s weight is supported by the crutches,the other half by the vertical forces exerted by the ground on his feet. Assuming he is atrest and the force exerted bythe ground on the crutchesacts along the crutches, determine(a) the smallest possiblecoefficient of friction betweencrutches and ground and(b) the magnitude of the compressionforce supported byeach crutch.

Two masses mA =9.3kg and mB=6.1kg are on inclines and are connected together by a string as shown in the figure. The angles theta subscript A=700 and theta subscript B = 360 . In the absence of the friction, the force F is required to pull the masses at a constant velocity up the fixed inclines. The force F is now removed. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the two blocks? Take g =9.81 m/s2, and express your answer using two decimal places.

Hi! Please ndicate the given, diagram, FBD, and the solution with no shortcuts, Thanks! 5) A body system has three forces which are all at rest and in equilibrium. F1 is measured at 170 N whilst F3 is equal to340 N. The direction of each force is shown in the figure below. To balance the force within the body system, computefor the magnitude of F2 and its direction.
