Joe, a carpenter with a weight of 600 N, is working on a scaffold. His young son Jack is helping him. Jack has a weight of 450 N. The scaffold is held up by two ropes. One rope has an upward tension of 750 N. The weight of the scaffold is 400 N. What is the upward tension in the other rope?
Which below is correct?
700 N
850 N
1000 N
750 N
At a history center, an old canal boat is pulled by two draft horses. It doesn’t take much force to keep the boat moving; the drag force is quite small. But it takes some work to get the 55,000 kg boat up to speed! The horses can pull with a steady force and put a 1400 N tension in the rope that connects to the boat. The rope is straight and level. The boat starts from rest, and the horses pull steadily as they begin their walk down the towpath. How much distance do the horses cover as they bring the boat up to its final speed of 0.70 m/s?
Problem 56. Your car is stuck in a mud hole. You are alone but have a long, strong rope. Having studied physics you tie
the rope tautly to a telephone pole and pull on it sideways as in the figure below.
A) Find the forces exerted by the rope on the car when 0 = 3° and you are pulling with a force of 400 N and the car
does not budge.
B) How strong must the rope be if it takes a force F of 600 N to move the car when 0 = 4°.

- Alice and Bob had car trouble. Their car broke down and Bob could not restart it. Alice got out to push the car and after some time she asked Bob if he would trade jobs with her for a while. Bob answered, "It won't matter if I do. I took physics, and I know that no matter how hard I push on the car, it will push back on me just as hard so I won't accomplish anything. That's Newton's Third Law and it is always true. It has been tested millions of times. It wouldn't matter if I pushed the car. I wouldn't be able to push it anywhere." Aside from the fact that his relationship with Alice is probably fınished, which of the following correctly explains a flaw in Bob's logic? The third law says that the two forces he is talking about are only approximately equal. The third law does not apply in this case because the car is on wheels. O The two forces he is talking about are on two different objects. Thw two forces will not be the same because the two masses are different.

The upper cables make angles of q, = 37.0° and q, = 53.0° with the horizontal. These upper cables are not as strong as the vertical cable and will break if the tension in them exceeds 100 N. Does the traffic light remain hanging in this situation, or will one of the cables break? T2 T3arrow_forwardPlease Help. I need it. A physics textbook lies flat on a horizontal table top. The book's front cover is facing up. If you slide the book very, very slowly toward the edge of the table (by pushing it horizontally, not by pulling it), it will eventually fall off and land on the floor. We did this experiment in one of our Class Meetings and the result was that the book most likely will end up on the floor with its front cover facing down. Why should this outcome happen? How could you prevent this outcome from happening so the book will end up on the floor with its front cover facing up? Consider changing the book, table, or the sliding procedure. Write down a mathematical model to verify your answers to 1 and 2. Use Newton's laws and conservation methods to to help you write a model that either proves or disproves 1) and 2).

- Is it possible for an object to achieve equilibrium when there is only one force acting on it? No, only one force will not be enough to move an object. Yes, normal force can make an object stay in equilibrium. No, only one force will create acceleration on an object. Yes, gravitational force can make an object stay in equilibrium.arrow_forwardA 1.0 N block is pushed against the ceiling by a 3.5 N force at a 60° angle as shown in the figure.

- An elevator weighing 22 000 N is supported by a steel cable. What is the tension in the cable when the elevator is being accelerated upward at a rate of 3.50 m/s^2? (g = 9.80 m/s^2) Choose answer here (N) 29857 N 27140 N 20000 N 26100 Narrow_forwardPart 1. We will use a three-wheeled cart on a flat and smooth table. A string is attached to the front of the cart. The other end of the string was wrapped around a smooth pulley with a wight hanger attached to the other end. When we mention the smooth surface of the table and smooth pulley, it means that there is no frictional force affecting the motion. If we add different mass on the weight hanger, we are applying a different pulling force on the cart through the string. If you are given the mass of the cart and given the magnitude of the force, you can calculate the acceleration. We will gradually add the mass on the weight hanger, so we are gradually increasing the pulling force. For each force, you can calculate the acceleration.

- You are helping your friend unload their moving truck. You are starting to get lazy, so you just set the boxes on the ramp down to the ground to let them slide down. You try to do the same with a small chair, but notice that it slides down the ramp much more slowly. Being a budding physicist, you reason that this is because the chair/ramp combination has a larger coefficient of kinetic friction than the boxes/ramp combination. The chair accelerates down the ramp at 0.72 ? ? 2 . The ramp is at an angle of 31° below the horizontal and the chair has a mass of 13 ??. Find the coefficient of friction between the chair and the ramp. Draw a free body diagram 2. Set up a coordinate system. You must correctly follow our rule to align the net acceleration for the system to be along a single axis (it cannot have an x- and a y-component). Correctly set up Newton’s Second Law (sum of the forces) in both the x- and y- direction. Correctly use either sinθ or cosθ as appropriate.arrow_forwardA Christmas light hangs on a series of strings as shown in the figure. The tension on string a, Ta, is 0.48 N.
