A tree contractor has been hired by a homeowner to remove a damaged tree from a previous storm. The top of the tree broke off, leaving the trunk in the ground. The arborist will remove the tree by attaching a rope near the top and cutting the base close to the ground. The scenario is shown in the figure.
The distances in the figure are z=14.7 m,, h=1.45 m,, y=5.66 m and x=8.00 m. If the arborist pulls on the rope with a force of magnitude F=36.8 N,F=36.8 N, write the expression for the torque ττ with respect to the base P of the tree using ijkijk unit vector notation,
→τ=τxi+τyj+τzk
where τx,τy,and τz are the values of the torque components in the x-,, y-, and z-directions, respectively.
The human mandible (lower jaw) is attached to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The masseter muscle is responsible for pulling the mandible upward when you are talking or eating. It is attached at a horizontal distance of about 2.60 cm from the TMJ. The horizontal distance from the TMJ to your incisors is 6.60 cm. If the masseter muscle exerts a force of 208 N on your mandible when you bite into an apple at a constant rate, then what is the magnitude of the force exerted by your incisors on your food, assuming that both forces are vertical?

- A surgeon is using material from a donated heart to repair a patient's damaged aorta and needs to know the elastic characteristics of this aortal material. Tests performed on a 16.0 cm strip of the donated aorta reveal that it stretches 3.31 cm when a 1.80 N pull is exerted on it. For related problem-solving tips and strategies, you may want to view a Video Tutor Solution of Fishy business. Part A) What is the force constant of this strip of aortal material? Express your answer in newtons per meter. Part B) If the maximum distance it will be able to stretch when it replaces the aorta in the damaged heart is 1.96 cm, what is the greatest force it will be able to exert there? Express your answer in newtons.arrow_forwardYou are working in an ice skating rink and have been asked to hang a new banner on the wall. Your friend is helping you so that the ladder does not collapse by exerting a force F→AL at an angle phi relative to the horizontal. See the diagram below. The ladder has a length L and makes an angle of theta with respect to the vertical wall. You have a mass, m_Y, and are a horizontal distance x from the wall. The ladder has a mass of m_L. Because the wall is slick, and the ice on the floor is slick, the frictional forces acting on the ladder are negligible. Part One: Find a formula for the magnitude of the force that your friend must exert to keep the ladder from falling, in terms of the following variables: x,L,m_Y,m_L,theta,phi. Then use the following values to get a number for the magnitude of F→AL. theta = 29.5 degrees phi = 23.305 degrees x= 2.204 meters L = 7.6 meters m_Y= 82 kg m_L = 34.44kgarrow_forwardYou are working in an ice skating rink and have been asked to hang a new banner on the wall.

- An archer must exert a force of 360 N on the bowstring shown in Figure (a) such that the string makes an angle of ? = 29.0° with the vertical. Two diagrams show a bow oriented vertically, with the midpoint of the bowstring pulled to the right. In both diagrams, the top half of the bowstring starts at the top limb and extends down and to the right to the midpoint of the string, and makes an acute angle of ? with the vertical. The bottom half of the string appears to make the same angle with the vertical. In the first diagram, a force arrow points from the midpoint of the string to the right. In the second diagram, the left end of a horizontal spring with spring constant k is attached to the midpoint of the string. The right end of the spring is attached to a vertical wall.

- Mountain pull. A large mountain can slightly affect the direction of “down” as determined by a plumb line. Assume that we can model a mountain as a sphere of radius R=2.00 km and density (mass per unit volume) 2.6*103 kg/m3. Assume also that we hang a 0.50 m plumb line at a distance of 3R from the sphere’s center and such that the sphere pulls horizontally on the lower end. How far would the lower end move toward the sphere?arrow_forwardA picture of mass m = 11 kg is hung on a wall from a hook with a piece of wire. The picture hangs level and is centered on the hook. The tension in the wire is the same on both sides of the hook. Each section of wire makes the same angle with the horizontal. Refer to the figure. a. Choose the best free body diagram. b. Initially the picture is hung with a short wire, such that θ1 = 13°. What is the tension in the wire, in newtons. c. The wire is replaced with a longer wire. The picture now hangs with θ2 = 49°. What is the new tension in the wire, in newtons.arrow_forwardA cat burglar is planning a daring heist. He will lower himself from a beam as shown in the figure on the left. The burglar weighs 150 lbs. He plans to use a long rope that can withstand a tension of 100 lbs to suspend himself from a shorter rope, reasoning that each segment of the longer rope will only need to support half his weight. (The short rope segment is Kevlar and can easily support the burglar's full weight.)(a) Despite your moral outrage, you decide to set the burglar straight. Compute the tensions T1, T2, and T3 and explain why the plan will not work.(b) As a strictly intellectual exercise, you design an alternative arrangement of ropes that will support the burglar's weight using the same long rope from part (a). In the configuration on the right, what is the maximum angle fthat will result in a tension of less than 100 lbs in each segment of rope?You may ignore the mass of the rope in parts (a) and (b).arrow_forward
