Chapter 5, Problem 37AP
A black aluminum glider floats on a film of air above a level aluminum air track. Aluminum feels essentially no force in a magnetic field, and air resistance is negligible. A strong magnet is attached to the top of the glider, forming a total mass of 240 g. A piece of scrap iron attached to one end stop on the track attracts the magnet with a force of 0.823 N when the iron and the magnet are separated by 2.50 cm. (a) Find the acceleration of the glider at this instant. (b) The scrap iron is now attached to another green glider, forming total mass 120 g. Find the acceleration of each glider when the gliders are simultaneously released at 2.50-cm separation.

A stubborn dog is being walked on a leash by its owner. At one point, the dog encounters an interesting scent at some spot on the ground and wants to explore it in detail, but the owner gets impatient and pulls on the leash with force F ⃗ = (98.0i ^ + 132.0j ^ + 32.0k ^ )N along the leash. (a) What is the magnitude of the pulling force? (b) What angle does the leash make with the vertical?
A 25kg wooden plate is held in place by two strings attached to the ceiling and the wall. The string attached to the ceiling makes an angle 40o with the horizontal and the string attached to the wall makes 90o with the wall. Determine the force in each string.
A dynamometer is an instrument used to measure forces. A block of wood whose mass is 10 kilograms is on a table also made of wood and is pulled using a dynamometer. The force is exerted at an angle of 18 degrees.
Determine the magnitude of the force that can be read about the dynamometer at the following times:
a. Just before the block begins its movement (the coefficient of frictionstatic equals 0.35)
b. When moving with a uniform speed (the dynamic coefficient of frictionequals 0.28)

- A speedboat with a mass of 545 kg545 kg (including the driver) is tethered to a fixed buoy by a strong 32.7 m32.7 m cable. The boat's owner loves high speed, but does not really want to go anywhere. So the owner revs up the boat's engine, makes a lot of noise, and runs the boat in circles around the buoy with the cable supplying all the necessary centripetal force. When the tension of the cable is steady at 13700 N,13700 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat? Different physics textbooks treat drag force somewhat differently and use different formulas. For the present purpose, take the water's drag force on the boat to be (450 kg/m)×?2,(450 kg/m)×v2, where ?v denotes the boat's speed. Ignore any drag force on the cable.arrow_forwardA m1 = 1.90-kg aluminum block and a m2 = 6.85-kg copper block are connected by a light string over a frictionless pulley. The two blocks are allowed to move on a fixed steel block wedge (of angle θ = 35.0°) For aluminum on steel, μs = 0.61 and μk = 0.47. For copper on steel, μs = 0.53 and μk = 0.36.) The steel block wedge is designed such that the left half of its surface is horizontal while its right half slopes downward, forming an inclined plane of angle θ (measured from the horizontal). A pulley is anchored where the horizontal surface and incline meet. A cord passing over the pulley connects an aluminum block of mass m1 on the horizontal surface to a copper block of mass m2 on the incline.

The wooden block is being spun around on a 2.00 m long massless wire. The wooden block has air being pushed out behind it causing a thrust force of 3.20 N. The air is being pushed out at 70.0° from the radial line as shown in the figure. If the block is initially at rest and the coefficient of friction is 0.360, what is the tension in the wire after 17.0 revolutions?arrow_forward
