Chapter 6, Problem 6.7OQ
Before takeoff on an airplane, an inquisitive student on the plane dangles an iPod by its earphone wire. It hangs straight down as the plane is at rest waiting to take off. The plane then gains speed rapidly as it moves down the runway, (i) Relative to the student’s hand, does the iPod (a) shift toward the front of the plane. (b) continue to hang straight down, or (c) shift toward the back of the plane? (ii) The speed of the plane increases at a constant rate over a time interval of several seconds. During this interval, does the angle the earphone wire makes with the vertical (a) increase, (b) slay constant, or (c) decrease?

In the figure, a 1.20 kg ball is connected by means of two massless strings, each of length L = 1.82 m, to a vertical, rotating rod. The strings are tied to the rod with separation d = 1.82 m and are taut. The tension in the upper string is 42.0 N. What are (a) the tension in the lower string, (b) the magnitude of the net force F→net on the ball, and (c) the speed of the ball?
Two ends of the string are fastened at two corners of a picture frame weighing 200 N which
are 60 cm apart. The midpoint is suspended from the nail on the wall. If the string is 70 cm
long, what tension does each part of the string exert in order to maintain equilibrium?

One end of a nylon rope is tied to a stationary support at the top of a vertical mine shaft of depth 78.0 m. The rope is stretched taut by a box of mineral samples with mass 22.0 kg attached at the lower end. The mass of the rope is 2.00 kg. The geologist at the bottom of the mine signals to his colleague at the top by jerking the rope sideways. (Do not neglect the weight of the rope.)
(a) What is the wave speed at the bottom of the rope?
(b) What is the wave speed at the middle of the rope?
(c) What is the wave speed at the top of the rope?
