Predict/Calculate Weighing a Block on an Incline A wedge of mass m, is firmly attached to the top of a scale as shown in Figure 9-47. The inclined surface of the wedge makes an angle θ with the horizontal Now a block of mass m2 is placed on the inclined surface of the wedge and allowed to accelerate without friction down the slope (a) Show that the reading on the scale while the block slides is
(m1 + i2 cos2θ)g
(b) Explain why the reading on the scale is less than (m1 + m1)g. (c) Show that the expression in part (a) gives the expected results for θ = 0 and θ = 90°.

A boy and his skateboard have a combined mass of 60.0 kg. After an initial shove, the boy starts coasting at 5.5 m/s along a level driveway. Friction brings him to rest in 5.0 s. The combined force of gravity on the boy and skateboard is 5.9 x 10^2N. What is the average coefficient of rolling friction between the driveway and the skateboard wheels?
(An explanation would help too, thank you :)! )
A cargo ship has been badly loaded and is dangerously down at the stern. Fortunately, there is a massless crane based on the ship near its bow. The captain decides to balance the ship by using the crane to lift a container from near the stern, move it horizontally forwards, and lower it onto the bow. When does the ship's angle begin to improve?
An 80-kg man is one fourth of the way up a 10-m ladder that is resting against a smooth, frictionless wall. If the ladder has a mass of 20 kg and it makes an angle of 60 degree with the ground, find the force of friction of the ground on the foot of the ladder.

- A 23.0-kg backpack is suspended midway between two trees by a light cord as in Fig. 9–51. A bear grabs the backpack and pulls vertically downward with a constant force, so that each section of cord makes an angle of 27° belowthe horizontal. Initially, without the bear pulling, the angle was 15°; the tension in the cord with the bear pulling is double what it was when he was not. Calculate the force the bear is exerting on the backpack.arrow_forward9. Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 58.3 degrees with respect to the horizontal.
