- While digging a small hole prior to planting a tree, a homeowner encounters rocks. If he exerts a horizontal 239-N force on the prybar as shown, what is the horizontal force exerted on rock C? Note that a small ledge on rock C supports a vertical force reaction there. Neglect friction at B. Complete solutions (a) including and (b) excluding the weight of the 17-kg prybar.

- A 235 N crate rests on a ramp; the maximum angle just before it slips is 27.8° with the horizontal. What is the coefficient of static friction between crate and ramp surfaces? Answer:arrow_forwardMany birds can attain very high speeds when diving. Using radar, scientists measured the altitude of a barn swallow in a vertical dive; it dropped 208 m in 3.0 s. The mass of the swallow was estimated to be 0.018 kg, and its cross-section area as 5.6 x 10-4 m2. What was the drag coefficient for this swallow as it dove?arrow_forwardA 118 kg box sits on a flat surface where it has a static friction coefficient of us = 0.524 anda kinetic friction coefficient of Mx = 0.318. What is the minimum horizontal force that a worker mustapply in order to get the box to begin moving?arrow_forward
- Please answer it within 30 minutes.I will upvote! A skier is going down a hill at a constant speed in the downward direction. The skier’s mass is 70 ?? and the hill is at an angle of 30° with respect to the horizontal. Both surface friction and air drag are considered. What is the air drag force (in unit of N) along the direction of the velocity? Assume the kinetic coefficient of friction is 0.3; the gravity on the earth is 9.8 m/s2; cos(30 degree) is 0.866, and sin(30 degree) is 0.5. Round the answer to two decimal points. (You must use the numbers/constants provided here for the calculation)arrow_forwardIn a pickup game of dorm shuffleboard, students crazed by final exams use a broom to propel a calculus book along the dorm hallway. If the 3.5 kg book is pushed from rest through a distance of 0.92 m by the horizontal 26 N force from the broom and then has a speed of 1.28 m/s, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and floor?arrow_forwardYou are trying to slide a heavy trunk across a horizontal floor. The mass of the trunk is 85kg, and you need to exert a force of 3.3*10^2 N to make it just begin to move. a)Determine the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the trunk.b)After the trunk starts moving, you continue to push with this force. The trunk reaches a speed of 2.0m/s after 5.0s. Calculate the acceleration of the trunk if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the trunk and the floor is 0.32.arrow_forward
- The upper leg muscle (quadriceps) exerts a force of 1350 N, which is carried by a tendon over the kneecap (the patella) at the angles shown in Figure 5.43. Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the kneecap on the upper leg bone (the femur). (counter-clockwise from an axis directed to the left) X N X Figure 5.43 Foarrow_forwardPlease answer this, I need help.arrow_forwardAn 85 kg man tries to pull himself up the face of a boulder using a rope hooked to a tree above it. The face of the boulder created a 50.0° angle with the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction between his shoes and the boulder is 0.350, will he make it up if he pulls with 550. N of force? Remember his shoes will try to slip backwards when considering friction.arrow_forward
