2. Extreme-sports enthusiasts have known to jump off the top of El Capitan, a sheer granite cliff of height 910m in Yosemite National Park. Assume a jumper runs horizontally off the top of El Capitan with speed of 4 m/s and enjoys a free fall until she is 150 m above the valley floor, at which time she opens her parachute. It is important to be as far away from the cliff as possible before opening the parachute. How far from the cliff is this jumper when she opens her chute?

Determine the distance x to which a 90-kg painter, can climb the 4-m uniform ladder without causing the ladder to slip at its lower end. The top of the 15-kg ladder is leaning against a very smooth vertical wall. Assume that the mass center of the painter is directly above his feet and that the coefficient of friction between the horizontal ground and the ladder is 0.25.

A large wooden turntable in the shape of a flat disk has a radius of 2.30 m and a total mass of 120 kg. The turntable is initially rotating at 3.15 rad/s about a vertical axis through its center. Suddenly, a 71.0 kg parachutist makes a soft landing on the turntable at a point on its outer edge. For related problem-solving tips and strategies, you may want to view a Video Tutor Solution of Anyone can be a ballerina. Find the angular speed of the turntable after the parachutist lands. (Assume that you can treat the parachutist as a particle.) Express your answer in radians per second. W = ΜΕ ΑΣΦ ? rad/s

A 2-ft-diameter hemispherical plexiglass "bubble" is to be used as a special window on the side of an above-ground swimming pool. The window is to be bolted onto the vertical wall of the pool and faces outward, covering a 2-ft-diameter opening in the wall. The center of the opening is 4.1 ft below the surface. Determine the (a) horizontal and (b) vertical components of the force of the water on the hemisphere. (a) FH = (b) Fy= lb (outward) (down on bubble)
Problem 1. The coefficient of static friction between Box A with a mass of 220 kg and the inclined surface is 0.10. A rope, tied to the box, passes over a cylinder and the coefficient of static friction between the rope and the fixed cylinder is 0.05. If a woman pulls on the free end of the rope, the force the woman must exert on the rope to cause the box to start moving up the inclined surface is * 45° 120° 300 703 N 992 N 1087 N 1290 N
