The "Giant Swing" at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with horizontal arms attached at its upper end. Each arm supports a seat suspended from a cable 5.00 m long, and the upper end of the cable is fastened to the arm at a point 3.00 m from the central shaft as seen below. а. Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the cable supporting a seat makes an angle of 30.0 with the vertical. b. Does the angle depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution? 3.00 m 130.0° 5.00 m

Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. In the system shown, a 150 N collar-pulley assembly slides on a horizontal shaft with coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.10 between the collar and the shaft, and is acted upon by a force P with a magnitude of P = 253.5 N at an angle θ = 30.35° as shown. Knowing that the assembly is initially at rest, what is the time when the velocity reaches to 3 m/s? Also, at this instant, find the tension in the cord and the velocity of block A.
In the very Dutch sport of ducth-dude-on-a-pole, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 70kg vaulter is moving at 3.5m/s and is 5.0m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter (in magnitude)?
Show that when A+B=C then A2+B2+2ABcos , where is the angle between vectors A and B .
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.
In the figure, a body with a mass of 2 kg moves under the influence of two constant forces F1 = 5N and F2 = 4N in the xy plane. At time t = 0, the object is at point 0 and its speed is V = 2i + j (m / s). What is the acceleration of the particle and its position after 2 seconds in terms of the unit vector?
Hungarian Adrian Annus won the gold medal for thehammer throw at the 2004 Olympics in Athens with a winningdistance of 83.19 meters.* The event consists of swinging a16-pound weight attached to a wire 190 centimeters long ina circle and then releasing it. Assuming his release is at a 45°angle to the ground, the hammer will travel a distance ofv02/gmeters, where g = 9.8 meters/second2and v0 is the linearspeed of the hammer when released. At what rate (rpm) washe swinging the hammer upon release?
In the winter sport of bobsledding, athletes push their sled along a horizontal ice surface and then hop on the sled as it starts to careen down the steeply sloped track. In one event, the sled reaches a top speed of 9.2 m/sm/s before starting down the initial part of the track, which is sloped downward at an angle of 9.0 ∘∘.
Two unequal masses are hung on the end of a rope passing through a smooth reel. If the kinetic coefficient of friction is µk, what angle ∆ of the inclined plane allows the masses to move at constant speed?
We place a 2.0 m long rod in a vertical position and let it fall. At what speed does the upper end of the rod fly against the horizontal floor, if its lower end doesnt move anywhere? (The solution is 7.7 m / s)
A puck of mass m=180g on a horizontal, frictionless table is connected to a string that passes through a small hole in the table, as shown in the following figure (attached) The puck is set into circular motion of radius R=50cm with a speed vi = 2.2 m/s. If the string is then pulled from the bottom as shown, so that the radius of the circular path is decreased to r=20cm, what is the final speed, vf, of the puck?
A 60 kg block rests on a rough plane inclined at 30 deg with the horizontal. The coefficient of sliding friction between block and plane is 0.15. What force P parallel to the plane is required to keep the block moving up the plane at constant speed? Show solution and choose from the choices below: 370 N 88 N 218 N 294 N
A man is attempting to lift a crate with a double-pulley system, as shown. A single rope is routed from the ceiling, through the two pulleys, and to where the man pulls on it. The crate has mass m2 = 68 kg, and the man has m1 = 75 kg. He pulls downward on the rope with a force of magnitude F = 599 N. The pulleys are both massless and frictionless, and the rope is ideal. What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the tension force, T?What is the acceleration, in meters per squared second, of the crate?
