A 1.0 × 10³-kg plane is trying to make a forced landing on the deck of a 2.0 × 10³-kg barge at rest on the sur- face of a calm sea. The only frictional force to consider is between the plane's wheels and the deck; this braking force is constant and is equal to one-quarter of the plane's weight. What must the minimum length of the barge be for the plane to stop safely on deck, if the plane touches down just at the rear end of the deck with a velocity of 5.0 × 10' m/s toward the front of the barge?

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
A hiker who has broken his forearm rigs a temporary sling using a cordstretching from his shoulder to his hand. The cord holds the forearmlevel and makes an angle of 40.0° with the horizontal where it attachesto the hand. Considering the forearm and hand to be uniform, with atotal mass of 1.30 kg and a length of 0.300 m, find (a) the tension inthe cord and (b) the horizontal and vertical components of the force, f>,exerted by the humerus (the bone of the upper arm) on the radius andulna (the bones of the forearm).
A 17 kg block rests on a 32 degree inclined frictionless surface and is attached by a light string to a 34 kg hanging mass where the string passes over a massless frictionless pulley. If g = 9.8 m/s^2 what is the tension in the connecting string?
Body A has a weight/force of 441.45N and the coefficient for Body A, Body B and ramp C is 0.10. What is the smallest mass of B to make the system in equilibrium while neglecting the friction between the string and the ramp? Show the complete solution and the FBD. Answer should be: 23.92
An 85 kg man tries to pull himself up the face of a boulder using a rope hooked to a tree above it. The face of the boulder created a 50.0° angle with the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction between his shoes and the boulder is 0.350, will he make it up if he pulls with 550. N of force? Remember his shoes will try to slip backwards when considering friction.
The weight of the box is W = 90 N and the coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor is μ=0.65. Neglect the weights of the bars. What is the largest value of the force F that will not cause the box to slip?
Children playing pirates have suspended a uniform wooden plank with mass M = 13.4 kg, length ℓ = 2.40 m, and angle θ = 35.0°, as shown in the figure. Sophia, with a mass of m = 21.6 kg, is made to "walk the plank" and is d = 1.5 m from reaching the end of the plank. What is the tension acting on the rope at the end (i.e value of F3)?
A box on a 15-degree incline weighs 350N. Given that the system is in static equilibrium and us = 0.55 and uk = 0.42.a. what's the normal force (N) magnitude and what's its angle of direction with respect to the positive x-axis?b. what's the frictional force magnitude and it's angle of direction with respect to the positive x-axis?Now, a rope creates a tension T to pull the box in the direction 30 degrees upward with respect to the incline. This makes the box impending to slide.c. what's the magnitude of Td. what's the magnitude of N
A 90-m wire is suspended between two points at the same elevation that are 60 m apart. Knowing that the maximum tension is 300 N, determine (a) the sag of the wire, (b) the total mass of the wire.
When you lift an object by moving only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm is 1.10 kg . If the biceps is connected to the forearm a distance dbicepsdbicepsd_biceps = 2.50 cm from the elbow, how much force Fbiceps must the biceps exert to hold a 750 g ball at the end of the forearm at distance dball = 32.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor? Although it is uncommon, orthopedic surgeons have seen patients who have torn their biceps tendon when forces of greater than 390 N have been exerted on the tendon with the arm bent at the elbow so that the forearm is parallel to the ground. What is the minimum mass of a ball Mball such a patient might have held to cause the biceps tendon to tear?
Two telephone poles are separated by 40 m and connected by a wire. A bird of mass 0.5 kg lands on the wire midway between the poles, causing the wire to sag 2 m below horizontal. Assuming the wire has negligible mass, what is the tension in the wire?
