A rescue helicopter is lifting a man (weight = 822 Newton's) from a capsized boat by means of cable and harness. a. What is the tension in the cable when the man is given an initial upward acceleration of 1.10 m?s^2 b. What is the tension during the remainder of the rescue when he is pulled upward at a constant velocity?

A stubborn dog is being walked on a leash by its owner. At one point, the dog encounters an interesting scent at some spot on the ground and wants to explore It in detail, but the owner gets impatient and pulls on the leash with force along the leash. (a) What is the magnitude of the pulling force? (b) What angle does the leash make with the vertical?
A lamp hangs vertically from a cord in a descending elevator. The elevator has a deceleration of 2.4 m/ s2 before coming to a stop. A. If the tension in the cord is 89 N, what is the mass of the lamp? B. What is the tension in the cord when the elevator ascends with an upward acceleration of 2.4 m/ s2 ?
A 1.30-kg toaster is not plugged in. The coefficient of static friction between the toaster and a horizontal countertop is 0.350. To make the toaster start moving, you carelessly pull on its electric cord. a. For the cord tension to be as small as possible, you should pull at what angle abive the horizontal? b. With this angle, how large must the tension be?
A rope is attached to a box. The box is placed on an inclined plane. The box has a mass of 50 kg. I would like to lower the box downward. I am holding it with a force F equal to 100 N. Ignore friction. The angle θ = 30o A. Does the box move downward or actually stay at rest on the inclined plane? B. Determine the acceleration of the box. C. Friction is present and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2. Determine the new acceleration of the box

What is the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration due to the drag force?b. If the ball had this same acceleration during its entire 18.4 m trajectory, what would its final speed be?
A 500 kg piano is being lowered into position by a crane while two people steady it with ropes pulling to the sides. Bob’s rope pulls to the left, 15° below horizontal, with 500 N of tension. Ellen’s rope pulls toward the right, 25° below horizontal.a. What tension must Ellen maintain in her rope to keep the piano descending vertically at constant speed?b. What is the tension in the vertical main cable supporting the piano?
April works at the grocery store. She needs to move a heavy crate of bananas ( m = 80 kg) to the produce section.

Two boxes, A and B, are connected by a lightweight cord and are resting on a smooth (frictionless) table. The boxes have masses of 12 kg and 10kg. A horizontal force FP of 40.0 N is applied to the 10 kg box. A. The two boxes are connected, and if the cord remains taut, then the two boxes will have the same acceleration. Solve for acceleration of each box. B. Find the tension in the cord connecting the boxes.

1. You are tasked with designing the runway on an aircraft carrier. The minimum speed for the F/A18 Hornet is 200 mph. The Hornet weighs 40,000 lbf and its twin engines provide a thrust of ~40,000 lbf combined, providing a max acceleration of 1g.a. How long must the deck be to takeoff unassisted? Give the answer in ft. b. This is most likely longer than your typical ~450 ft carrier. What acceleration must you achieve with both the engines and with a catapult system together to reach the required minimum speed by the end of the deck? c. What net force (combined engines and catapult) must be applied to the plane to get the acceleration in b? d. Do you think the plane will be able to use disk brakes on its tires to stop when landing?Use your knowledge of friction to make your argument. Also know that their coefficient of friction is ~1.
