Suppose you purchase a 4 x 8 piece of plywood from Home Depot. You don't have a pickup truck (nor does your friend), but you do have a roof rack with cross bars on your car. So you will have to secure the plywood to the roof rack in order to get it home. Your friend (the one who does not have a pickup truck) suggests that you tie the plywood on sideways (so that the short edge is front to back) and drive at about 13 mph. Use standard sea-level conditions = 0:0023769 slugs/ft3 and = 3:7372 107 slugs/ft*s. (a) Estimate the drag on the plywood for the case suggested by your friend. (b) Estimate the drag on the plywood if you turn the sheet so that the long edge is front to back. (c) Explain why your friend suggested the sideways configuration

One of your employees is complaining of knee pain on the R. While assessing his workstation, you noted that from a sitting position (starting position: 90 deg flexion), the employee needs to exert a lot of effort to extend his right knee to 45 deg from the starting point. The length of the limb (from the tibial tuberosity to the heel area) is measured to be 38 cm. What now is the linear distance traveled by the limb from the initial position to 45 degrees of knee extension?
A wooden plank x meters long has one end leaning on top of a vertical wall 1.5 m long and the other end resting on a horizontal ground. Neglecting friction, find x if a force (parallel on the plank) of 100 N is needed to pull a 400 N block up the plank.
2. A uniform 80.0 N ladder 4.0 m long is placed against a frictionless wall with its base situated 2.0 m from the wall.Find the forces exerted by the wall and by the ground on the ladder.
A manual chain hoist is a machine used to lift a 125 kg crate. A force of 200 N is applied to the effort chain through a distance of 3m, and the crate is lifted a distance of 0.4m. What is the Mechanical Advantage provided by the chain hoist?
A 5.0m long steel wire has a cross-sectional area of 0.55cm^2. Its proportional limit has a value of 0.0018 times its Young's modulus. Its breaking stress has a value of 0.0065 times its Young's modulus. The wire is fastened at its upper end and hangs vertically. a. How great a weight can be hung from the wire without exceeding the proportional limit? b. How much will the wire stretch under this load? c. What is the maximum weight that the wire can support?
During a bicep curl on a bicep curl machine, I'm curling a weight stack of 100 pounds (single arm...I'm jacked like that). At this very moment, the weight stack has a moment arm of 0.12m, my elbow has an angle of 63deg, my muscle force vector has an angle of 23deg, and it attaches 3cm below my elbow joint on my radius. How much force must my bicep create right at this moment to hold the weight stack in place?
A uniform wheel of 60 cm diameter and weighing 1000N rest against a rectangular block 15 cm high lying on a horizontal plane as shown in the figure. It is to be pulled over the block by a horizontal force p applied to the end of a string wound round the circumference of the wheel. Find the force P when the wheel is just about to roll over the block ?
One spring is placed inside the other, not touching each other, and compressed between a pair of parallel plates until the distance between the plates is 40 mm. Make a neat detailed sketch of the spring and plate assembly. If G = 83 GPa for both springs, calculate the following: 1. The force applied to the spring assembly. 2. The shear stress induced in each spring. 3. The total strain energy stored in the spring assembly. 4. The stiffness of each spring. 5. The equivalent stiffness of a single spring that can be substituted in place of these springs.
1. A non-uniform is 4.5m long and weighs 640N. It is balance when a 270N weight is hung 0.800m from the light end of the bar and the bar is pivoted at its center. Where is the center of gravity of the bar? 2.Two workers carry a non-uniform beam weighing 730N. The beam is 2.6m long and its center of gravity is 1.1 m from one end. If the workers hold the beam at its end, how much does each worker lift?
A 4.2‑kg brown hare walks on a horizontal beam (the beam's mass m = 2.8 kg and length a = 2.4 m). The beam is suspended with two ropes attached to the ends of the beam. What should be the distance between the hare and the left end of the beam so that the tension in the left rope is three times as big as the tension in the right rope? 1. The distance from the left end, b = If the hare is at the distance found in the previous question, calculate the tension in each rope. 2. The tension in the left rope, T1 = 3. The tension in the right rope, T2 = ------------------------------------------------------------------ A bike wheel has a radius of R = 0.62 m and a mass of m = 2.6 kg spins at 270 rpm.
