In a race like the Indianapolis 500, a driver circles the track counterclockwise and feels his head pulled toward one shoulder. To relieve his neck muscles from having to hold his head erect, the driver fastens a strap to one wall of the car and the other to his helmet. The length of the strap is adjusted to keep his head vertical. (a) Which shoulder does his head tend to lean toward? (b) What force or forces produce the centripetal acceleration when there is no strap? (c) What force or forces do so when there is a strap?

(a) What are the drag forces at 70 km/h and 100 km/h for a Toyota Camry? (Drag area is 0.70m2 ) (b) What is the drag force at 70 km/h and 100 km/h for a Hummer H2? (Drag area is 2.44m2 ) Assume all values are accurate to three significant digits.
Your sailboat has capsized! Fortunately, you are no longer aboard the boat. Instead, you are hanging onto the end of a long rope, the other end of which is attached to a Coast Guard helicopter. Model yourself as a particle of mass M = 55.0 kg with a diameter equal to 0.500 m. The density of the air is = 1.29 kg/m3. Assume the drag coefficient between you and the air is C = 0.500. a. First, ignore the drag force due to the air. If the helicopter is flying at a constant speed v0 = 35.0 m/s, what angle will the rope make with the vertical? b. Now, consider the drag force due to the air. What angle does the rope make with the vertical given the information in part (a)?
An iron bolt of mass 65.0 g hangs from a string 35.7 cm long. The top end of the string is fixed. Without touching it, a magnet attracts the bolt so that it remains stationary, but is displaced horizontally 28.0 cm to the tight from the previously vertical line of the string. The magnet is located to the right of the bolt and on the same vertical level as the bolt in the final configuration. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of the bolt. (b) Find the tension in the string, (c) Find the magnetic force on the bolt.
