- If you press a book flat against a vertical wall with your hand, pushing on the book strictly horizontally, what force keeps the book in place? In what direction does that force point?arrow_forwardA block of mass m2 on a rough, horizontal surface is connected to a ball of mass m1 by a lightweight cord over a lightweight, frictionless pulley as shown in 5.21a. A force of magnitude F at an angle θ with the horizontal is applied to the block as shown, and the block slides to the right. The coefficient ofkinetic friction between the block and surface is μk. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the two objects.arrow_forwardWhen a gymnast performing on the rings executes the iron cross, he maintains the position at rest shown in figure (a). In this maneuver, the gymnast’s feet are off the floor. The primary muscles involved in supporting this position are the latissimus dorsi (“lats”) and the pectoralis major (“pecs”). One of the rings exerts an upward force Fh on a hand as shown in figure (b). The force Fs is exerted by the shoulder joint on the arm. The lats and pecs major muscles exert a total force Fm on the arm. Using the information in the figure, find the magnitude of the force Fm for an athlete of weight 750 N. Hint Fh = 750/2 N.arrow_forward
