African elephants are the largest land animals. They consume approximately 10% of their body weight in food each day, which for an
adult male, can be 1000 lb. of vegetation! Their diet consists mostly of grasses, bamboo, tree bark, and fruit. They also like to dine on
tree leaves. To reach them, they often stand up on their hind legs and extend their trunks (see the figure). The elephant in the figure is
in equilibrium. The location of the elephant's center of mass is shown, and the axis of rotation has been chosen to correspond to the hip
joint. The forces in the elephant's free-body diagram are shown, and there is a static friction force between the elephant's back feet
and the ground. Use the following information and calculate the magnitude of the tension in the elephant's trunk T (m = 4540 kg, FN
= rfs = 133 cm, rcg = 76.0 cm, r = 229 cm).

A friend spins the front wheel, of radius 0.381 m, and observes that drops of water fly off tangentially in an upward direction when the drops are at the same level as the center of the wheel. She measures the height reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P10.74 on page 332). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises h = 54.0 cm above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises 51.0 cm above the tangent point. The height to which the drops rise decreases because the angular speed of the wheel decreases. From this information, determine the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the wheel.arrow_forward
