A pulley is attached to one end of a rough plank, which makes an angle of 34◦ with the horizontal. A box is held at rest on the plank by a string that is attached to the box and passes over the pulley. A bucket of water is attached to the other end of the string and hangs freely. The coefficient of static friction between the plank and the box is 0.8. The box remains at rest but is on the point of slipping up the plank. The bucket of water has mass 7.5 kg.Name the four forces acting upon the box and draw a force diagram showing them, including the angles that show their directions.

The mass of a sports car is 1100 kg. The shape of the car is such that the aerodynamic drag coefficient is 0.250 and the frontal area is 2.20 m2. Neglecting all other sources of friction, calculate the initial acceleration of the car, if it has been traveling at 80 km/h and is now shifted into neutral and is allowed to coast.

A skydiver weighing 65 kg jumps out of a helicopter hovering at a height of 3 kilometers. Assume a cross-sectional area of 0.5 square meters. After thirty seconds of free fall, the skydiver deploys the parachute and the cross-sectional area becomes 40 square meters. Reproduce the model for the skydiver in Excel or VenSim. In VenSim you may have to make At quite small in order not to throw an error. Because you reach terminal velocity relatively quickly your answer should not be particularly sensitive to the value of At you choose. What is the skydiver's terminal velocity without the parachute? meters/second What is the skydiver's terminal velocity with the parachute? meters/second

A 70 kg bicyclist is riding her 15 kg bicycle downhill on a road with a slope of 80without pedaling or braking. The bicyclist has a frontal area of 0.45 m2and a dragcoefficient of 1.1 in the upright position, and a frontal area of 0.4 m2and a dragcoefficient of 0.9 in a racing position. If the downhill speed of the bicyclist(terminal velocity) can be determined when the total force acting on the “body” inthe direction of movement is equal to zero, determine the percentage of downspeed that she can be increased when she is in a racing position. Air temperatureis 150C and disregarding the rolling resistance and friction at the bearing.
