Chapter 7, Problem 85GP
Assume a cyclist of weight mg can exert a force on the pedals equal to 0.90 mg on the average. If the pedals rotate in a circle of radius 18 cm, the wheels have a radius of 34 cm, and the front and hack sprockets on which the chain runs have 42 and 19 teeth respectively (Fig. 7–31), determine the maximum steepness of hill the cyclist can climb at constant speed. Assume the mass of the bike is 12 kg and that of the rider is 65 kg. Ignore friction. Assume the cyclist’s average force is always: (a) downward; (b) tangential to pedal motion.

- A bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire on the rear wheel. Afriend spins the front wheel, of radius R, and observes that drops of water fly oiltangentially in an upward direction when the drops are at the same level as the centerof the wheel. She measures the height reached by drops moving vertically (Fig.P10.74). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises a distance h1 abovethe tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises a distance h2 < h1above the tangent point. The height to which the drops rise decreases because theangular speed of the wheel decreases. From this information, determine themagnitude of the average angular acceleration of the wheel.arrow_forwardThe first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth was Sputnik I, launched October 4, 1957. The mass of Sputnik I was 83.5 kg, and its distances from the center of the Earth at apogee and perigee were 7330 km and 6610 km, respectively. Find the difference in gravitational potential energy for Sputnik I as it moved from apogee to perigee?arrow_forwardA 12 kg mass slides down an 18-degree incline with μk=0.26. The mass is connected by a massless chord to the 70 cm diameter, 0.78 kg bicycle wheel, via a 24 cm diameter, 0.70 kg pulley. If the mass starts from rest, find its speed after it has slid a distance of 1.3 m.arrow_forward

How far is the spring stretched?arrow_forwardFour point masses are arranged in a square of side length L as shown. All of the masses are in the xy-plane. Mass 2 and Mass 4 have mass of 4.6 kg, and Mass 1 and Mass 3 have a mass of 1 kg. If the side length L is 2.5 m, find the KE of the system if the point masses are rotated as a system around the y-axis (through m1 and m2) at 2.6 rad/sec.arrow_forwardA block of mass m is initially at rest at the peak of an inclined plane, which has a height of 6.9 m and makes an angle of θ = 29° with respect to the horizontal. After being released, it is observed to be moving at v = 1 m/s a distance d after the end of the inclined plane as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μp = 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is μr = 0.2. Find the distance d, in metersarrow_forward
