Parachutists whose chutes have failed to open have been known to survive if they land in deep snow. Assume that a 75-kg parachutist hits the ground with an area of impact of 0.30 m2 at a velocity of 55 m/s, and that the ultimate strength of body tissue is 5 × 105 N/m2. Assume that the person is brought to rest in 1.0 m of snow. Show that the person may escape serious injury.

A 5.0m long uniform ladder leans against a smooth wall and its base rests on a rough floor. The ladder has a mass of 18.0 kg and its base is a distance of 2.3m from the wall. If the ladder is to remain in place, what frictional force must be exerted by the floor on the ladder?
The left-hand end of a uniform rod of mass 2.00 kgkg and length 1.10 mm is attached to a vertical wall by a frictionless hinge. The rod is held in a horizontal position by an aluminum wire that runs between the right-hand end of the rod and a point on the wall that is above the hinge. The cross-sectional radius of the wire is 2.50 mmmm, and the wire makes an angle of 30.0∘∘ with the rod.
What is the length of the wire?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
An object of mass 90.0 kgkg is suspended from the right-hand end of the rod. What is the increase in the length of the wire when this object is added?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
In your analysis do you need to be concerned that the lengthening of the wire means that the rod is no longer horizontal?

- A rod of length 4.00 m with negligible mass is hinged to a wall. A rope attached to the end of the rod runs up to the wall at an angle of exactly 45, helping support the rod, while a sign of weight 10.0 N is hanging by two ropes attached to the bottom of the rod. The ropes make an angle of exactly 30 with the rod as shown in Figure P14.79. Another sign with a weight of 10.0 N is attached to the top of the rod with its center of mass at the midpoint of the rod. The entire system is in equilibrium. Find the magnitude of the tension in the rope above the rod that is also attached to the wall. FIGURE P14.79 Problems 79 and 80.

- A solid consist of a cylinder and a hemisphere of equal radius fixed base to base. Find the ratio of the radius to the height of the cylinder. So that the solid has its centre of gravity at the common face. Hint. For stable equilibrium, the centre of the body should be below the common face or maximum lie on it.

If the daughter weights 274 N and sits at one edge of the plank, where the father with a weight of 523 N should sits from the pivot point to balance the see-saw in m, assuming that the plank has uniform density? Keep three significant figures.arrow_forwardIf you bend a rod down, it compresses the lower side of the rod and stretches the top, resulting in a restoring force. Shown is a beam of length L, width w, and thickness t fixed at one end and free to move at the other. Deflecting the end of the beam causes a restoring force F at the end of the beam. The magnitude of the restoring force F depends on the dimensions of the beam, the Young’s modulus Y for the material, and the deflection d. For small values of the deflection, the restoring force is F = [(Ywt3)/(4L3)]dThis is similar to the formula for the restoring force of a spring, with the quantity in brackets playing the role of the spring constant k.When a 70 kg man stands on the end of a springboard (a type of diving board), the board deflects by 4.0 cm.
