Tarzan, who weighs 820 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a 20.0 m vine that hangs from a high tree limb and initially makes an angle of 22.0 with the vertical. Assume that an x axis extends horizontally away from the cliff edge and a y axis extends upward. Immediately after Tarzan steps off the cliff, the tension in the vine is 760 N. Just then, what are (a) the force on him from the vine in unit-vector notation and the net force on him (b) in unit-vector notation and as (c) a magnitude and (d) an angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis? What are the (e) magnitude and (f) angle of Tarzan’s acceleration just then?
A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
If the vector components of the position of a particle moving in the xy plane as a function of time are x(t)=(2.5ms2)t2i and y(t)=(5.0ms3)t3j, when is the angle between the net force on the particle and the x axis equal to 45?
A block of mass m is initially at rest at the top of an inclined plane, which has a height of 4.2 m and makes an angle θ = 17° with respect to the horizontal. After sliding down the ramp, the brick is observed to be moving at v = 0.95 m/s at a distance d from the end of the inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μp = 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is μr = 0.2. 1. what is the speed of block, in meters per second, just after it leaves the inclined plane 2. find the distance, d, in meters

The diagram shows the all of the forces acting on a body of mass 3.13 kg. The three forces have magnitudes F1 = 59.2 N, F2 = 27.7 N, and F3 = 74.4 N, with directions as indicted in the diagram, where θ = 55.8 degrees and φ = 21.4 degrees. The dashed lines are parallel to the x and y axes. At t = 0, the body is moving at a speed of 5.29 m/s in the positive x direction. 1.)What are the x and y components of the acceleration in m/s2?

A 2.0 m long wooden stick weighing 9.0 kg is hung from the ceiling. 50 cm above the lower end hits a ball with a mass of 20 g at a speed of 400 m/s. By what angle does the stick deviate from the vertical axis? (The solution is 21°)
A person pulls at an angle of 0 = 34.0° on three connected crates of masses m¡ = 25.0 kg, m2 = 18.0 kg, and Pull m3 = 15.0 kg over a smooth horizontal floor, as shown in A В the figure. The crates are connected to each other by m, m, m3 identical massless, horizontal strings A and B, each of which can support a maximum tension of 45.0 N before breaking. What is the magnitude F, of the largest pulling force that can be exerted without breaking either of the strings?
In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 55 kg vaulter is moving at 2.5 m/s and is 5.1 m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter?
An electron is a subatomic particle (m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg) that is subject to electric forces. An electron moving in the +x direction accelerates from an initial velocity of +5.81 x 105 m/s to a final velocity of 2.69 x 106 m/s while traveling a distance of 0.0663 m. The electron's acceleration is due to two electric forces parallel to the x axis: F1−→F1→ = 9.79 x 10-17 N, and F2−→F2→, which points in the -x direction. Find the magnitudes of (a) the net force acting on the electron and (b) the electric force F2−→ .
