(a) Calculate the tension in a vertical strand of spider web if a spider of mass 2.00105kg hangs motionless on it. (b) Calculate the tension in a horizontal strand of spider web if the same spider sits motionless in the middle of it much like the tightrope walker in Figure 5.26. The strand sags at an angle of 12 below the horizontal. Compare this with the tension in the vertical strand (find their ratio).
If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.
In Example 4.6, we investigated the apparent weight of a fish in an elevator. Now consider a 72.0-kg man standing on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.20 m/s in 0.800 s. It travels with this constant speed for the next 5.00 s. The elevator then undergoes a uniform acceleration in the negative y direction for 1.50 s and comes to rest. What does the spring scale register (a) before the elevator starts to move, (b) during the first 0.800 s, (c) while the elevator is traveling at constant speed, and (d) during the time interval it is slowing down?
A crate is sitting in the center of a flatbed truck. As the truck accelerates to the east, the crate moves with it, and doesnt slide on the bed of the truck. In what direction is the friction force exerted by the bed of the truck on the crate? (a) To the west, (b) To the east, (c) There is no friction force because the crate isnt sliding.
An object of mass m is dropped al t = 0 from the roof of a building of height h. While the object is falling, a wind blowing parallel to the face of the building exerts a constant horizontal force F on the object. (a) At what time t does the object strike the ground? Express t in terms of g and h. (b) Find an expression in terms of m and F for the acceleration ax of the object in the horizontal direction (taken as the positive x direction). (c) How far is the object displaced horizontally before hitting the ground? Answer in terms of m, g, F, and h. (d) Find the magnitude of the objects acceleration while it is falling, using the variables F, m, and g.
(a) What is the maximum frictional force in the knee joint of a person who supports 66.0 kg of her mass on that knee? (b) During strenuous exercise it is possible to exert forces to the joints that are easily ten times greater than the weight being supported. What is the maximum force of friction under such conditions? The frictional forces in joints are relatively small in all circumstances except when the joints deteriorate, such as from injury or arthritis. Increased frictional forces can cause further damage and pain.
