A 77-kg woman holds a 7-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.16g. Determine the force R which the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting force L which she exerts on the package during the acceleration interval. If the elevator support cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would R and L acquire? 7kg 0.16g 77kg Answers: While accelerating, R= i LA i After the cables fail, R= i LA i

A freight train consists of two 8.00×104-kg enginesand 45 cars with average masses of 5.50×104kg . (a) What force must each engine exert backward on the track toaccelerate the train at a rate of 5.00×10–2 m/s2if the force of friction is 7.50×105 N , assuming the engines exertidentical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such amassive system. Rolling friction for trains is small, andconsequently trains are very energy-efficient transportationsystems. (b) What is the force in the coupling between the37th and 38th cars (this is the force each exerts on the other),assuming all cars have the same mass and that friction isevenly distributed among all of the cars and engines?

Prior to manned space flights, rocket sleds were used to test aircraft, missile equipment, and physiological effects on humansubjects at high speeds. They consisted of a platform that was mounted on one or two rails and propelled by severalrockets. Calculate the magnitude of force exerted by each rocket, called its thrust T , for the four-rocket propulsion system. The sled’s initial acceleration is 49 m/s2, the mass of the system is 2100 kg, and the force of frictionopposing the motion is known to be 650 N.
