Chapter 7, Problem 12EAP
A steel cable lying flat on the floor drags a 20 kg block across a horizontal, frictionless floor. A 100 N force applied to the cable causes the block to reach a speed of 4.0 m/s in a distance of 2.0 m. What is the mass of the cable?

A 2.0 m long wooden stick weighing 9.0 kg is hung from the ceiling. 50 cm above the lower end hits a ball with a mass of 20 g at a speed of 400 m/s. By what angle does the stick deviate from the vertical axis? (The solution is 21°)
Sally wants to hang up some decorations on the side of her house, so she props up a ladder of length L = 3m against a wall at an angle of θ = 50° with respect to the horizontal. The ground is somewhat icy, where the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder’s feet is µ = 0.55; while the wall of her house can be considered frictionless. If Sally has a mass of 60kg and the ladder has a mass of 80kg, what is the max distance that she can climb up the length of the ladder without it slipping? You may assume the ground is perfectly flat, and the wall is perpendicular to the ground.
The kinetic friction force between a 8.1-kg object and a horizontal surface is 72 N. If the initial speed of the object is 74 m/s, what distance will it slide before coming to a stop?

(The director assures you it will all be very exciting.) The drawing below shows the situation. The SUV has four-wheel drive (see problem N5D.1), and the coefficients of friction between the tires and the pier’s surface are us =3/4 and uk = 1/2. Calculate the length L (as a fraction or multiple of D) of the run along the pier that you will need for the SUV to make it to the ferry. Ignore air drag.arrow_forward
