A 686 N park ranger uses a basket and a rope-pulley system to transport an injured sea turtle up to a plateau, as shown in the figure. The sea turtle and basket together have a mass of 50.0 kg. The ranger holds firmly onto the rope and walks away from the cliff, speeding up at a steady rate of 0.300 m/ 2. He thereby causes the basket (and the turtle) to accelerate straight upwards at the same rate. Assume that the rope has negligible weight and that the pulley is ideal, having no friction in its bearing. Also assume that as the ranger trudges along, his feet do not slip on the ground. 26. The tension in the rope is equal to A. 490 N. B. 686 N. C. 475 N. D. 505 N. E. 196 N. 27. The frictional force which the ground exerts on the ranger's feet has a magnitude of C. 526 N. A. 490 N. B. 511 N. D. 196 N. E. 707 N.

A 1.5 kg block and a 2.5 kg block are attached to opposite ends of a light rope. The rope hangs over a solid, frictionless pulley that is 30 cm in diameter and has a mass of 0.75 kg. When the blocks are released, what is the acceleration of the lighter block?
Johnny Manziel has decided that he’s a terrible quarterback (he’s pretty mad about it) andwants to become a kicker, but he’s concerned about the shoe he has chosen to kick withand how it will impact the inertia of his leg. The moment of inertia of the lower leg andfoot about an axis through the knee joint is 0.20 kg·m2. What is the moment of inertia ofthe leg and foot about the knee joint if a 0.50 kg shoe is worn on the foot? Assume thatthe shoe’s mass is all concentrated in one point 45 cm from the knee joint

To get up on the roof, a person (mass 70.0 kg) places 6.00-m aluminum ladder (mass 10.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of ladder 2.00 m from the house. The ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to frictionless. The center of ladder is 2.00 m from the bottom. The person is standing 3.00 m from the bottom. Find the normal reaction and friction forces on the ladder at its base.
Check your Understanding Explain which one of the following satisfies both equilibrium conditions: (a) a tennis ball that does not spin as it travels in the air, (b) a pelican that is gliding in the air at a constant velocity at one altitude; or (c) a crankshaft in the engine of a parked car.
A beetle sits at the rim of a turntable that is at rest but is freeto rotate about a vertical axis. Suppose the beetle now begins towalk around the perimeter of the turntable. Does the beetle moveforward, backward, or does it remain in the same location relative tothe ground? Answer for two different cases, (a) the turntable is muchmore massive than the beetle and (b) the turntable is massless
The distance between two telephone poles is d = 54.0 m. When a 1.20 kg bird lands on the telephone wire midway between the poles, the wire sags h = 0.206 m. How much tension (in N) does the bird produce in the wire? Ignore the weight of the wire

The drawing below shows a person whose weight is W = 552 N doing push-ups. Assume L1 = 0.871 m and L2 = 0.391 m. Calculate the normal force exerted by the floor on each hand, assuming that the person holds this position.
Consider the woman doing push-ups in the figure. She has a mass of 49.2 kg, and the distance from her feet to her center of mass is 0.96 m, while the distance from her feet to her hands is 1.75m. a. What force in newtons should the woman in the figure exert on the floor with each hand to do a push-up? Assume that she moves up at a constant speed. b. The triceps muscle at the back of her upper arm has an effective lever arm of 1.95 cm, and she exerts force on the floor at a horizontal distance of 15.5 cm from the elbow joint. Calculate the magnitude of the force in newtons for each triceps muscle. c. How much work in joules does she do if her center of mass rises 0.27 m? d. What is her useful power output, in watts, if she does 25 pushups in one minute? For the sake of simplicity, ignore any power used by her muscles lowering her body during each pushup.
Is it possible to rest a ladder against a rough wall when the floor is frictionless?
