The figure below shows a block (mass ma) on a smooth horizontal surface, connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second block (mB), which hangs vertically. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for each block, showing the force of gravity on each, the force (tension) exerted by the cord, and any normal force. (b) Apply Newton's second law to find formulas for the acceleration of the system and for the tension in the cord. Ignore friction and the masses of the pulley and cord. Problems 32 and 33. Mass m, rests on a smooth horizontal surface; mg hangs vertically.

In order to burgle a local McDonald's, the Hamburglar must climb onto the roof. To do this, a ladder of length 3.31 m and mass 21.2 kg is placed leaning against a vertical wall, as shown in the image below. There is negligible friction between the ladder and the wall, but the same is not true for the ladder and the ground: us ≠ 0 between those two surfaces. Even with that friction, the ladder will start slipping if the angle ø ladder makes relative to the ground is less than 71.0°. Assuming the ladder is uniform (so that its center of gravity is located at its geometric center), what must be the maximum static frictional force (in N) that exists between the bottom of the ladder and the ground? Explain how you solved the problem involving a ladder leaning against a wall. Be sure to state what your known and unknown quantities are, what concepts were applied, and what equations were used!

1. The piston hydraulic system can lift very heavy objects with a force significantly lower than that of direct lifting. Imagine a system in which the cross-sectional area of the piston is rectangular rather than a typical circle. The cross-sectional area of the small piston is 20 cm × 40 cm, while the cross-sectional area of the large piston is 2.5 meters × 6 meters. (a) How much force would need to be applied to the smaller piston to lift a 1300-kg car? (Ignore any height differences in the fluid) (b) Use proportional reasoning, order of magnitude, and/or related quantities sense-making techniques to determine if your answer to (a) is reasonable?

A speedboat with a mass of 529 kg (including the driver) is tethered to a fixed buoy by a strong 28.3 m cable. The boat's owner loves high speed, but does not really want to go anywhere. So the owner revs up the boat's engine, makes a lot of noise, and runs the boat in circles around the buoy with the cable supplying all the necessary centripetal force. When the tension of the cable is steady at 12300 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat? Different physics textbooks treat drag force somewhat differently and use different formulas. For the present purpose, take the water's drag force on the boat to be (450 kg/m)×v2, where v denotes the boat's speed. Ignore any drag force on the cable. What is the force of the engine?
