    A person and cage are suspended from pulley; Find force exerted on rope

    A man sitting in a cage is connected to a pulley system of three movable and one fixed pulley in the system shown in ATTACHMENT #1. He pulls down on a rope as shown, to raise himself and the cage. The man and cage have a total weight of 639 nt. Ignore friction as negligible. PART a. Find the force he exerts to move upward

    Find the Maximum Force and Acceleration of a Sliding Crate

    SEE ATTACHMENT #1 for a diagram showing parameters. A box whose mass is 5 kg is on a frictionless horizontal surface. A force P is applied to the box in a direction 25 degrees above horizontal. PART a. Find the maximum value of P for which the box stays in contact with the floor. PART b. Find the acceleration when this

    A projectile fired from a tower and hits a tank on the ground

    SEE ATTACHMENT #1 for a diagram showing known parameters. An antitank gun with initial velocity Vo= 240 m/sec at +10 degrees is located on top of a tower 60 m above ground. A tank is initially at rest, 2200 m from the base of the tower on the level ground. At time t=0, the tank crew sees the gun and begins to accelerate at .9

    One-Dimensional Kinematics

    A hot air balloon has just lifted off and is rising at the constant rate of 2.2 m/s. Suddenly, one of the passengers realizes she has left her camera on the ground. Her friend throws it to her straight up at and initial speed of 10 m/s if the passenger is 2.5 m above the friend when the camera is tossed, how high is she when the

    Working with a buoyant force on a balloon.

    A balloon is descending with a constant acceleration "a" less than 'g' weight of the balloon with the basket and the contents is W. What weight m of the basket should be released so that the balloon will begin to accelerate upwards with constant acceleration 'a' ? Neglect air resistance.

    Physics Net torque: angular acceleration of cylinder caused by descending mass.

    See attached file. Mass m= 8 kg is suspended from a cord which passes over a frictionless pulley then wraps tengentially on the surface of a uniform cylinder, mass M= 12 kg radius R = .66 m, on a plane inclined at angle b= 25 degrees from horizontal. As the suspended mass descends it gives angular acceleration A to the cylind

    'Net Torque = I alpha' applied to a cylinder descending

    A cord is wrapped on the surface of a uniform cylinder, of mass M=12 kg and radius R= .36 m. Released from rest with the cord vertically tangential to its surface and tied to a ceiling support, the cylinder descends with angular acceleration A as the cord unwinds from its surface. SEE ATTACHMENT FOR PICTURE OF APPARATUS. a. Fi

    Balloon with Passengers

    Balloons are often filled with helium gas because it weighs only about one-seventh of what air weighs under identical conditions. The buoyancy force which can be expressed as Fb = (density of air)(g)(volume of balloon), will push the balloon upward. If the balloon has a diameter of 14.0 m, may be treated as spherical, and carrie

    Find the angular acceleration of the cylinder.

    A uniform cylinder, mass M= 25 kg, radius R= .75 m, is mounted on a fixed, frictionless bearing. From a cord wrapped on its surface a mass m=6.4 kg descends and rotates the cylinder with angular acceleration 'A'. See attachment for picture of the apparatus. a. Find the angular acceleration of the cylinder. b. Find the tension

    Working with centripetal acceleration and force.

    A child is twirling a 0.0120 kg ball on a string in a horizontal circle whose radius is 0.100 m. The ball travels once around the circle in 0.500 s. (a) Determine the centripetal force acting on the ball. (b) If the speed is doubled, does the centripetal force double? If not, by what factor does the centripetal force incre

    Coefficient of kinetic friction

    During a hockey game, a puck is given an initial speed of 12.00 m/s. It slides 54.00 m on the ice before it stops. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice?

    Turntables

    Shown from the top view are six blocks that are sitting at rest on rotating turntables. All of the turntables have the same rotation rate (i.e. same frequency). The masses of the blocks and how far out from the center they sit varies. The specific values are given in the figures. Which of the following statements are true abo

    Calculating impact time of two objects

    There are two football players standing 48 meters apart (player A and player B). They start running towards each other. Player A acceleration is 0.5 m/s2 and player B acceleration is 0.3 m/s2. How much time passes before each player collides with each other? When they collide how far has the first player(player A) trave

    Newton's Second Law Acceleration of a mass on plane connected

    A mass M= 6.2 kg on a plane inclined at angle 33° is connected by a cord parallel to the plane then over a frictionless, massless pulley to a suspended rock of mass R. The friction coefficient, µ=.25 between the mass and the plane. (See pictures in attachment File #1.) Find the mass of the rock for the following situations:

    Working with circular motion and centripetal acceleration.

    There is a hand held device with a rod with a cord attached to a spring scale on the rod. You swing the ball around in a horizontal circle with a radius of 0.500 m. There are several parts to this that I need help with. If the speed of the ball is 3.7 m/s, how do you calculate the expected tension in the cord? Why can't you s
