A sled and rider have a total mass of 56.8 kg. They are on a snowy hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.195. The angle of the hills slope measured upward from the horizontal is 19.5. What is the acceleration of the rider? Is the acceleration greater, less than, or equal to your result if a more massive rider uses the same sled on the same hill? Explain.
In many textbook problems, we ignore certain complications such as friction and drag. The problems contain key words that indicate such a simplification is being used. For example, if a surface is described as slippery, it means that we can ignore friction. Look at the previous chapters problem sets. Find five uses of these key words and explain how to interpret each case.
A filled treasure chest (m = 375 kg) with a long rope tied around its center lies in the middle of a room. Dirk wishes to drag the chest, but there is friction between the chest and the floor with s = 0.52. If the angle between the rope and the floor is 30.0, what is the magnitude of the tension required to just get the chest moving?
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)?

The shower curtain rod in Figure P6.7 is called a tension rod. The rod is not attached to the wall with screws, nails, or glue, but is pressed into the wall instead. Explain why the rod remains at rest, supporting the curtain. Explain why the name is misleading and come up with a better name. FIGURE P6.7
