A boy with a mass of 40.0 kg stands in an 80-kg boat that has a end of 6.00 m. He walks a distance of 4.00 m from a point of 1.00 m on one end of the boat. How far did the boat move during this process? Ignore air resistance of the motion of the boat in the water.

The rectangular framework is subjected to the following non-concurrent system of forces: a 30lb- force below the origin, a 20lb-force 3ft above the origin and making an angle of 30°NE, a 100lb-force with a horizontal distance of 3ft and a vertical distance of 4ftfrom the origin and making an angle of 45° NW, a 60lb force with the same distance like the previous force but along the positive x-axis, and a 100lbs force 4ft to the right of the origin and making an angle of 60° SW. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant, as well as its moment arm relative to the origin.
The figure below shows a claw hammer being used to pull a nail out of a horizontal board where ? = 27.3°. The mass of the hammer is 1.00 kg. A force of 165 N is exerted horizontally as shown, and the nail does not yet move relative to the board. Assume the force the hammer exerts on the nail is parallel to the nail. A hand uses a hammer to pull a nail out of the ground. The head of the hammer is curved and touches the ground at a single point of contact at the center of the head. The nail in the ground makes an acute angle ? clockwise from the vertical. The nail is hooked in the hammer claw 5.00 cm horizontally to the left of the hammer head's point of contact to the ground.

Problem 8: A car of mass m = 1020 kg is traveling down a 0 = 12 degree incline. When the car's speed is vo = 11 m/s, a mechanical failure causes all four of its brakes to lock. The y coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road is u = 0.45.
The joint angle between thigh and leg is θ = 90°. The resistive forces are the weights of the leg and the foot. The distance between the axis of rotation of the knee joint and the center of mass of the leg is dLEG = 8.6 in, the distance to the center of mass of the foot is dFT = 49 cm. The angle of attachment for the hamstring muscle is λ = 108°. The insertion point of the hamstring is a distance dHAM = 2.5 cm away from the knee joint axis. The mass of the foot is mFT = 1.25 kg, the mass of the leg is mLEG = 3.9 kg. What is the magnitude of FHAM to maintain this position?
There is a mortar that is firing on soldiers who are approaching up the hill towards the mortar. The mortar is angled at an angle of theta = 66.0 degrees and is fired with a initial velocity of 153ft/s. How far down the hill does the shell strick if the hill subtends an angle phi = 35.0 from the horizontal? Ignore air friction. How long will the mortar shell remain in the air? How fast will the shell be traveling when it hits the ground?
10. A snowboarder starts at the top of a 160. m tall hill with a velocity of 3.00 m/s. The portion of the hill covered with snow is essentially frictionless, but the flat, horizontal section at the base of the hill covered with mud is not. If the snowboarder masses in at 80.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between board and mud is 0.750, how much distance is required for the snowboarder to come to rest?
Inside the Apollo spacecraft was the Eagle lunar module, which was used to that astronauts could travel to the lunar surface while the rest of the ship orbited the moon. Upon its return from the moon, the Eagle module reached a speed of 24 m/s at 305 m height. If the total mass was 10.821 kg. What was the force exerted by the ascent motor?
In the figure, a man is trying to get his car out of mud on the shoulder of a road. He ties one end of a rope tightly around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 29 m away. He then pushes sideways on the rope at its midpoint with a force of 550 N, displacing the center of the rope 0.28 m from its previous position, and the car barely moves. What is the magnitude of the force on the car from the rope? (The rope stretches somewhat.)
A child of weight 30 kg (m2) walks along a uniform board of weight 10 kg (m1) and length = 10 m. The board is supported by two legs (symmetry to the center) with negligible weight shown in the figure. How close (i.e. find x) could the child walk to the right end before the board flips (in m)?
