A fireman has mass m; he hears the fire alarm and slides down the pole with acceleration a (which is less than g in magnitude). (a) Write an equation giving the vertical force he must apply to the pole. (b) If his mass is 80.0 kg and he accelerates at 3.00 m/s, what is the magnitude of his applied force?
Two packing crates of masses 10.0 kg and 5.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in the figure above. The 5.00-kg crate lies on an incline of angle 40.0°. If the coefficient on friction between the 5 kg crate and the inclined plane is 0.3, find (a) the acceleration of the 5.00-kg crate and (b) the tension in the string.
In an investigation a student placed a 0.85 kg cart on a table. They tie one end of a light string (assume mstring= 0kg) to the front of a cart, passes it through a pulley and then onto a 0.50 kg hanging mass. Assume there is no friction. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart. Determine the magnitude of the tension.
