A 70 kg bicyclist is riding her 15 kg bicycle downhill on a road with a slope of 8° without pedaling or braking. The bicyclist has a frontal area of 0.45 m² and a drag coefficient of 1.1 in the upright position, and a frontal area of 0.4 m² and a drag coefficient of 0.9 in a racing position. If the downhill speed of the bicyclist (terminal velocity) can be determined when the total force acting on the "body" in the direction of movement is equal to zero, determine the percentage of down speed that she can be increased when she is in a racing position. Air temperature is 15°C and disregarding the rolling resistance and friction at the bearing.

A chair lift is to be installed from the surface down to a depth of 150 m. The inclination is 17 degrees to the horizontal. An operating velocity is to be used, and the system will be required to transport 300 persons per hour. Assuming the worst-case scenario, namely that no persons travel down while the system has a full load traveling up, determine: 1. the spacing of thr chairs 2. the traveling time per person 3. the output power of the motor required to drive the system Perfomance criteria: A force criteria: A force of 2 kN per 100 m of the length of the loaded part of the system is required to overcome friction.

Consider the following arrangement of masses: Mass 1 is connected to mass 2 by a very light string and moves over a frictionless pulley so that both masses move with the same speed and move the same distances (?2 to the right a distance ? and ?1 down a distance ?).Assume ?1 = 15 ??, ?2 = 15 ??, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between ?2 and the table is ?? = 0.73. Let the masses start with an initial speed of 1.00 m/s. What is their speed after moving 1.00 cm (? = 0.0100 ?)?
