On Earth at sea level, a rope can sustain a maximum force of 80.7 N before breaking. What is the weight of the heaviest object it can lift vertically while accelerating with a magnitude of 3.07 m/s2 ?
A horizontal force of 800 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 200-kg crate. If g = 9.8 m/s2 , what is the coefficient of static friction?
The wind force (F) on a flat vertical surface varies jointly as the area of the
surface (A) and the square of the wind velocity (V). Suppose that the constant of variation is 40,
find the force (in lbs) of the windstorm on 10 ft by 12 ft rectangular sign board that has a velocity
of 60mi/hr
