- Consider the baby being weighed in Figure 4.34. (a) What is the mass of the child and basket if a scale reading of 55 N is observed? (b) What is the tension T1 in the cord attaching the baby to the scale? (c) What is the tension T2 in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling, if the scale has a mass of 0.500 kg? (d) Draw a sketch of the situation indicating the system of interest used to solve each part. The masses of the cords are negligible.arrow_forwardThe helicopter view in Figure P1.70 shows two people pulling on a stubborn mule. Find (a) the single force that is equivalent to the two forces shown and (b) the force a third person would have to exert on the mule to make the net force equal to zero. The forces are measured in units of newtons (N). Figure P1.70arrow_forwardTwo forces are applied to a car in an effort to move it, as shown in Figure P4.12. (a) What is the resultant vector of these two forces? (b) If the car has a mass of 3 000 kg, what acceleration does it have? Ignore friction. Figure P4.12arrow_forward
- A person holds a ball in her hand. (a) Identify all the external forces acting on the ball and the Newtons third-law reaction force to each one. (b) If the ball is dropped, what force is exerted on it while it is falling? Identify the reaction force in this case. (Ignore air resistance.)arrow_forwardThe distance between two telephone poles is 50.0 m. When a 1.00-kg bird lands on the telephone wire midway between the poles, the wire sags 0.200 m. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of the bird. (b) How much tension does the bird produce in the wire? Ignore the weight of the wire.arrow_forwardA block of mass m1 = 3.7 kg on a frictionless plane inclined at angle θ = 30◦ is connected by a cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a second block of mass m2 = 2.3 kg.(a) Draw the free-body diagram for m1. [1]What are(b) the magnitude of the acceleration of each block, (c) the tension in the cord?arrow_forward
- A woman at an airport is towing her 20.0 kg suitcase with an acceleration of 0.500 m/s2 by pulling on the suitcase with force P (40.0 N) at an angle 30.0oabove the horizontal. Find the following: (use g=10.0 m/s2) a) Draw a free-body-diagram of the suitcase.b) What is the friction force on the suitcase by the ground?c) What is the normal force exerted on the suitcase by the ground?arrow_forwardAn 1100 kg car accelerates at 3.40 m/s2  A) What is the net force acting on the car?  B) If the car accelerates from rest for 30 s, what is its resulting velocity? C) If the wheels exert a force of 5600 N [fwd], what is the magnitude of the resisting force? D) How long would it take for the car to come to rest assuming that only the resisting force is acting on it? An FBD will help.arrow_forwardAn object of mass m1 = 2.70 kg placed on a frictionless, horizontal table is connected to a string that passes over a pulley and then is fastened to a hanging object of mass m2 = 6.30 kg as shown in the figure.  (a) Draw free-body diagrams of both objects. (b) Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the objects. (c) Find the tension in the string.arrow_forward
- Two crates, one with mass 4.00 kg and the other with mass 6.00 kg, sit on the frictionless surface of a frozen pond, connected by a light rope A woman wearing golf shoes (for traction) pulls horizontally on the 6.00 kg crate with a force F that gives the crate an acceleration of 2.50 m/s^2. (a) What is the acceleration of the 4.00 kg crate? (b) Draw a free-body diagram for the 4.00 kg crate. Use that diagram and Newton's second law to find the tension T in the rope that connects the two crates. (c) Draw a free-body diagram for the 6.00 kg crate. What is the direction of the net force on the 6.00 kg crate? Which is larger in magnitude, T or F? (d) Use part (c) and Newton's second law to calculate the magnitude of F.ANSWER ALL FOR UPVOTE. NO UPVOTE IF INCOMPLETE. THANK YOUarrow_forwardTwo crates, one with mass 4.00 kg and the other with 6.00 kg, sit on the frictionless surface of a frozen pond, connected by a light rope. A woman wearing golf shoes (so she can get traction on the ice) pulls horizontally on the 6.00-kg crate with a force F that gives the crate an acceleration of 2.50 m/s22. (a) What is the acceleration of the 4.00- kg crate? (b) Draw a free- body diagram for the 4.00-kg crate. Use that diagram and Newton's second law to find tension T in the rope that connects the two crates. (c) Draw a free-body diagram for 6.00- kg crate. What is the direction of the net force on the 6.00-kg crate? Which is larger in magnitude, force T, or force F? (d) Use part (c) and Newton's second law to calculate the magnitude of the force F.arrow_forwardCan please draw the free body diagram of the problem. A weightlifter pulls a 200 kg chunk of stone with constant velocity of 0.75 m/s on a horizontal surface with a horizontal force of 600 N. Assume g = 9.8 m/s2. a) Find the coefficient of kinetic friction b) If the rope breaks, how long does it take for the stone to come to rest? c) How far will the stone travel after the rope breaks?arrow_forward
