To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.00-kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm through an angle of 60.0°. (a) What is the angular acceleration if the weight is 24.0 cm from the elbow joint, her forearm has a moment of inertia of 0.250kg-m2 and the net force she exerts is 750 N at an effective perpendicular lever arm of 2.00 cm? (b) How much work does she do?
Jane, whose mass is 50.0 kg, needs to swing across a river (having width D) filled with person-eating crocodiles to save Tarzan from danger. She must swing into a wind exerting constant horizontal force F, on a vine having length L and initially making an angle with the vertical (Fig. P7.81). Take D = 50.0 m, F = 110 N, L = 40.0 m, and = 50.0. (a) With what minimum speed must Jane begin her swing to just make it to the other side? (b) Once the rescue is complete, Tarzan and Jane must swing back across the river. With what minimum speed must they begin their swing? Assume Tarzan has a mass of 80.0 kg.
An 85 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 14 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, and we can model the situation to see why. Assume that the man has a mass of 85 kg, with a center of gravity 1.0 m above the ground. The action of the wind on his torso, which we approximate as a cylinder 50 cm wide and 90 cm long centered 1.2 m above the ground, produces a force that tries to tip him over backward. To keep from falling over, he must lean forward. a. What is the magnitude of the torque provided by the wind force? Take the pivot point at his feet. Assume that he is standing vertically.b. At what angle to the vertical must the man lean to provide a gravitational torque that is equal to this torque due to the wind force?
A metal can containing condensed mushroom soup has mass 215g,height 10.8cm, and a diameter of 6.38cm. It is placed at reston its side at the top of a 3.00m-long incline plane that is at25.0o to the horizontal and is then released to rollstraight down. It reaches the bottom of the incline after1.50s. Assuming mechanical energy conservation, calculate themoment of inertia of the can. Which pieces of data, if any,are unnecessary for calculating the solution.
A 40-kg door with a height of 2.0 m and a width of 0.80 m is hinged at the end of the door along its vertical height. What is the kinetic energy of the door if it swings at 6.3 rad/s about a vertical axis that passes through the hinge of the door?
When a 78.0 kg skateboarded passes point P, his mechanical energy is 3.68 x 10^3 J relative to the ground.When he passes point Q he is moving at 8.15 m/s. How high is the skateboarder (relative to the ground) at point Q? Assume that the skateboard rolls with negligible friction.
Two rigid bodies, A and B, both 1 kg in mass, are connected by a linear spring with a spring constant of 0.2 N/m. Initially, the spring is unstretched and the bodies are at rest. If multiple forces and moments are applied to the two bodies that result in the speed of body A increasing to 10 m/s, the speed of body B increasing to 4 m/s, and the stretch of the spring increasing by 10 m, then -20 Nm of work was done by the spring on the body A, B system.

A 75 kg road bicycle racer rides down the highway from Pikes peak. During one stretch of the ride, he descends 5 meters in 12.5 seconds, while accelerating from 35 km/hr to 55 km/hr. Assuming rotational kinetic energy and dissipative forces to be negligible, what average power is supplied by the gravitational force during this time?
A 5.00 kg block moving with a velocity of 2.00 m/s on a flat horizontal surface enters a region where the coefficient of friction has increased. The kinetic energy of the block
Your goal is to lose weight by working out on a rowing machine. Each time you pull the rowing bar (which simulates the “oars”) toward you, it moves a distance of 5 ft in a time of 2.5 s. The readout on the display indicates that the average power you are producing is 82 W. What is the magnitude of the force that you exert on the handle?
A block is connected to a spring that is suspended from the ceiling. Assuming air resistance is ignored, describe the energy transformations that occur within the system consisting of the block, the Earth, and the spring when the block is set into vertical motion.
Check Your Understanding There is a second solution to the system of equations solved in this example (because the energy equation is quadratic): v1.f=-2.5m/s , v2.f=0 . This solution is unacceptable on physical grounds; what’s with it?
