Tarzan, who weighs 820 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a 20.0 m vine that hangs from a high tree limb and initially makes an angle of 22.0° with the vertical. Assume that an x axis extends horizontally away from the cliff edge and a y axis extends upward. Immediately after Tarzan steps off the cliff, the tension in the vine is 760 N. Just then, what are (a) the force on him from the vine in unit-vector notation and the net force on him (b) in unit-vector notation and as (c) a magnitude and (d) an angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis? What are the (e) magnitude and (f) angle of Tarzan’s acceleration just then?

When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible?

One side of the surface is raised slowly to create a ramp. The friction force f opposes the direction of motion and is proportional to the normal force F exerted by the surface on the box. The proportionality constant is called the coefficient of friction, u. When the angle of the ramp. 0, reaches 25°, the box begins to slide. Find the value of u 15 pounds The value of u is (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to two decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosSEE MORE QUESTIONSarrow_forward_ios
