Chapter 7, Problem 49AP
Over the Christmas break, you are making some extra money for buying presents by working in a factory, helping to move crates around. At one particular time, you find that all the handtrucks, dollies, and carts are in use, so you must move a crate across the room a straight-line distance of 35.0 m without the assistance of these devices. You notice that the crate has a rope attached to the middle of one of its vertical faces. You decide to move the crate by pulling on the rope. The crate has a mass of 130 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the concrete floor is 0.350. (a) Determine the angle relative to the horizontal at which you should pull upward on the rope so that you can move the crate over the desired distance with the force of the smallest magnitude. (b) At this angle of pulling on the rope, how much work do you do in dragging the crate over the desired distanced?

After collecting so much Halloween candy, you want to find a secret place to eat it all without being bothered. You see a small hiding place on top of a neighbors shed. Luckily, the neighbor has a ramp that leads up to the roof of the shed. You pull your bag of candy with a mass of 6.2 kg up the frictionless ramp which is at an angle of 29 degrees above the horizontal. The bag has an acceleration of 1.81 m/s2 parallel to, and UP the ramp while you are pulling
-What is the Normal Force exerted on bag of candy by the ramp?
- What force do you need to pull with in order to give the bag an acceleration of 1.81 m/s2?

instant the bottom end is 2 m from the base of the wall, the top end is moving down

- An airplane of mass 3.60 × 105 kg experienced a problem with all its tires when it was about to touch down at a runway of an airport. The tires were deadlocked and not able to roll. The airplane began to skid once it touched down and left behind a 728 m long skid mark on the runway before it came to a stop. Even though everyone on the airplane was safe, the pilot was accused of failing to land the airplane within the allowable speed limit of 80.0 m/s and his pilot license was suspended. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and runway was 0.496. (i) Determine the work done by friction on the tires.(ii) Use the Work-Energy Theorem to evaluate if the suspension of the pilot’s license should be revoked. #This is an exercise question, please help.

The distance from the ceiling to the hanging is 1.9 m (the length of the cable). A person pulls the ball so the cable makes an angle of 64 degrees to the vertical. Determine the maximum speed that can be reached by the mass (in m/s).arrow_forwardA spider hangs from the junction formed by three strands of silk, as shown in the figure. The force of tension in each strand pulls at the junction. The net force at the junction is zero. In other words, the resultant of all three force vectors is zero at the junction. The gravitational force on the spider makes it exert a downward force of 0.15 N on the junction. The two sloping strands are perpendicular to each other. We have chosen the x and y axes to be along those strands as shown. The force of the right strand on the junction has magnitude Tx force of the left strand on the junction has unknown magnitude T,y. a) Calculate Ty. b) Calculate the angle between the x axis and the horizontal direction. Hint: The SI unit of force is the newton, which is abbreviated as N. You must consider three force vectors. The x components of all three vectors must add to zero, and the y components must also add to zero. Note that the coordinate system is "rotated" which is Tx Ty 0.127 Ν. The a…arrow_forward
