- VelocitySuppose that in Exercise 55 the current is flowing at 1.2 mi/hr due south. In what direction should the swimmer head in order to arrive at a landing point due east of his starting point? VelocityA river flows due south at 3mi/h. A swimmer attempting to cross the river heads due east swimming at 2mi/h relative to the water. Find the true velocity of the swimmer as a vector.arrow_forwardInclined Ramp In Exercises 8992, a force of F pounds is required to pull an object weighing W pounds up a ramp inclined at degrees from the horizontal. Find W when F=600 pounds and =14.arrow_forwardInclined Ramp In Exercises 8992, a force of F pounds is required to pull an object weighing W pounds up a ramp inclined at degrees from the horizontal.

- Problem A bead is constrained to slide along a frictionless rod of length L. The rod is rotating in a vertical plane with a constant angular velocity ω about a pivot P fixed at the midpoint of the rod, but the design of the pivot allows the bead to move along the entire length of the rod. Let r(t) denote the position of the bead relative to this rotating coordinate system, as shown in FIGURE 3.R.1. In order to apply Newton’s second law of motion to this rotating frame of reference it is necessary to use the fact that the net force acting on the bead is the sum of the real forces (in this case, the force due to gravity) and the inertial forces (coriolis, transverse, and centrifugal). The mathematics is a little complicated, so we give just the resulting differential equation for r, (a) Solve the foregoing DE subject to the initial conditions (b) Determine initial conditions for which the bead exhibits simple harmonic motion. What is the minimum length L of the rod for which it…arrow_forwardA communications satellite moves in a circular orbit around Earth at a distance of 42,000 kilometers from the center of Earth. The angular speed d/dt = = /12 radian per hour is constant. (a) Use polar coordinates to show that the acceleration vector is given by a (as attached) where ur = cos i + sin j is the unit vector in the radial direction and u = −sin i + cos j. (b) Find the radial and angular components of acceleration for the satellite.arrow_forward
