- A 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_forwardWhen a tall smokestack falls over, it often breaks somewhere along its length before it hits the ground as shown. Why?arrow_forwardA beam is connected to the floor by a hinge. A rope is attached to the other end of the beam. The other end of the rope is connected to the ceiling. There is box sitting on the beam (see figure).The angle between the beam and the floor is 8.80 degrees. The angle between the rope and the horizontal is 25.0 degrees. The beam is 3.70-m long and has a mass of 4.40 kg. The box sits a distance of d = 0.890 m from the upper end of the beam and has a mass of 8.50 kg. The tension in the rope is 150.7 N.What is the vertical component of the force on the beam due to the hinge?arrow_forward
- A beam is connected to the floor by a hinge. A rope is attached to the other end of the beam. The other end of the rope is connected to the ceiling. There is box sitting on the beam (see figure).The angle between the beam and the floor is 8.40 degrees. The angle between the rope and the horizontal is 21.0 degrees. The beam is 3.80-m long and has a mass of 6.00 kg. The box sits a distance of d = 0.690 m from the upper end of the beam and has a mass of 8.10 kg. The tension in the rope is 190.2 N.What is the horizontal component of the force on the beam due to the hinge?arrow_forwardA beam that has a mass of 75kg extends from a building making a 48° angle with it. A wire is supporting the beam, it is attached to it 3/5 of the way along the beam. The wire is perindicular to the wall. There is also a sign hanging from the end of the beam with a mass of 14kg. The beams center of mass is 1/4 of the way from the wall to the end of the beam. What is the tension on the wire?arrow_forwardA man of weight W is on the top of a symmetric two-legged ladder, which is standing on a horizontal surface, as it is shown in the figure. The length of the ladder is L. There is a chain of length a, attached between the bottom third points of the legs, which prevents the collapse of the ladder. (a) Determine the tension T in the chain assuming that the floor is very slippery. (b) Determine the minimal static friction coefficient forwhich the ladder does not collapse even without thechain. In both cases calculate with symbols, and give the numerical result for L = 5 m, W = 800 N, a = 1.5 m.arrow_forward

Its upperend is a distance of 7.7 m above the ground. The center of mass of the ladder is 1/3 of the way up the ladder. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.53. If a carpenter climbs 85% of the way up the ladder before it starts to slip, find the mass of the carpenter.arrow_forwardA 1.75 kg wood block is on a horizontal wood surface and a light string attached to the block passes over a frictionless pulley to a 775 g load that hangs freely (Fig. 8-10).
