A 2.0-kg block is on a perfectly smooth ramp that makes an angle of 30 with the horizontal. (a) What is the block’s acceleration down the ramp and the force of the ramp on the block? (b) What force applied upward along and parallel to the ramp would allow the block to move with constant velocity?
Common Forces A leg is suspended in a traction system, as shown below (a) Which pulley in the figure is used to calculate the force exerted on the foot? (b) What is the tension In the rope? Here T is the tension, wleg is the weight of the leg, and w is the weight of the load that provides the tension.
A student’s backpack, full of textbooks, is hung from a spring scale attached to the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is accelerating downward at 3.8m/s2 , the scale reads 60 N. (a) What Is the mass of the backpack? (b) What does the scale read if the elevator moves upward while speeding up at a rate 3.8m/s2 ? (c) What does the scale read if the elevator moves upward at constant velocity? (d) If the elevator had no brakes and the cable supporting it were to break loose so that the elevator could fall freely, what would the spring scale read?
Consider the 65.0-kg ice skater being pushed by two others shown below. (a) Find the direction and magnitude of Ftot . the total force exerted on her by the others, given that the magnitudes F1and F2are 26.4 N and 18.6 N, respectively. (b) What is her initial acceleration if she is initially stationary and wearing steel-bladed skates that point in the direction of Ftot ? (c) What is her acceleration assuming she is already moving in the direction of Ftot ? (Remember that friction always acts in the direction opposite that of motion or attempted motion between surfaces in contact)
