- We are going to create a model for the forces acting when climbing with mass 'm' while falling on a rope. To simplify the problem, we will assume that there is no external or internal friction on the rope, and that there is no slack in the rope when the climber falls a height 'h/2' above the last belay, as shown in Figure. The rope has a length 'L' (in meters) when the fall occurs. All movement in the model is vertical (along the y-axis), and we will assume that the positive direction is downward. In part (a), the climber is in free fall until the rope starts to catch the fall. Set up the model for free fall and derive the expression for the velocity v0 that the climber has when the rope starts to slow down the fall. You can assume that the climber's speed is only a function of 'y' such that dy/dt = v(y)⟹ d²v/dt² = v * dv/dyarrow_forwardA gun is shot into a 1 KN block which is hanging from a rope of 1.8 m long.

Some distance in front of it, along a frictionless surface, is another spring with a spring constant of k2 = 244 N/m. The brick is not connected to the first spring and may slide freely. Now assume friction is present on the surface in between the ends of the springs at their equilibrium lengths, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.5.

How large would the coefficient of static friction μs need to be to keep the block from moving? Recall that to keep the block from moving, the acceleration is zero. Assuming the block has just begun to move and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.2, what is the block's acceleration in meters per square second?arrow_forward
