Can you help? I am stuck! Two simple pendulums of equal length l = 0.45 m are suspended from the same point. The pendulum bobs are small solid steel spheres. The first bob is drawn back to make a 35° angle with the vertical, while the other one is left hanging at rest. If the first bob has a mass of 0.25 kg and the second has a mass of 0.54 kg, how high will the second bob rise above its initial position when struck elastically by the first bob after it is released?

In the figure, the blocks have masses mA = 3.0 kg and mB = 5.0 kg. Between the wall and block B there is static friction, of coefficient 0.80 and the spring of block A, with elastic constant 580 N/m is stretched by x = 2.60 cm (elastic force points in the +y direction).The force F has a value of 100 N at time t = 0, but gradually reducing according to the expression F = 100 − 16t N (subject at F > 0).After how long will B slip?
a nonuniform bar is suspended at rest in a horizontal position by two massless cords. One cord makes the angle u=36.9° with the vertical; the other makes the angle f =53.1° with the vertical. If the length L of the bar is 6.10 m, compute the distance x from the left end of the bar to its center of mass.

A fisherman has caught a fish on his pole, and to keep the pole steady he has to apply an upward force of F2 = 215 N at an angle of 55.5° with respect to the pole (see figure). The length of his pole is 3.1 m, and he is holding it a distance 0.25 m from the end, where he is applying a downward force F1. F2 = 215 Nθ = 55.5°L = 3.1 md = 0.25 m a) With how much force, F1, in newtons, does he have to push straight downward on the end of his pole to keep the pole from moving? You may assume the pole is massless. b)What is the mass of the fish on the end of the pole, in kilograms?
A three-legged structure is shown below. It is attached to the ground at points B = (3.72 , 0, 0) and C = (−3.72, 0, 0) and connected to the ceiling at point A = (−4.50 , 4.03 , 5.00). The three legs connect at point D = (0, 3.15, 4.00) where two forces, F and P, act. Force F is given by F=10.0 i−12.5 j+25.2 k N; P has magnitude 50.0 N and direction angles α=110.0∘ β=29.5∘, and γ=69.3∘ for the x, y, and z axes, respectively. (This is if you need it) Find the Cartesian components of force P acting in the x, y, and z directions given P=50.0 N, α=110.0∘, β= 29.5∘, and γ=69.3∘. Recall that α is the angle between the vector and the x axis, β is the angle between the vector and the y axis, and γ is the angle between the vector and the z axis. the first part is equal -17.1 i N, 43.5 j N and 17.7 k N Question i need is to find the angle delta between F and P (The first part has already been solved but might be neccessary)

You pull on a string with a horizontal force of magnitude Fyb = 44 N that is attached to a block of mass mb = 6.1 kg, then to the axle of a solid cylinder of mass mc = 4.7 kg and radius r = 0.4 m, then to a spring of spring constant k = 135 N/m. This is all done on an inclined plane where there is friction ( μs = 0.61 and μk = 0.34 ), and the incline angle is θ = 30 degrees. Everything starts at rest, and the spring is unstretched. The block slides down the plane, the cylinder rolls down the plane (without slipping), and the spring stretches. How far have you pulled the block and cylinder when everything stops? The velocity when it has traveled 44 cm down the plane is 2.030 m/s.
