In the figure, a cord runs around two massless, frictionless pulleys. A canister with mass m = 25 kg hangs from one pulley, and you exert a force F on the free end of the cord. (a) What must be the magnitude of F if you are to lift the canister at a constant speed? (b) To lift the canister by 4.6 cm, how far must you pull the free end of the cord? During that lift, what is the work done on the canister by (c) your force (via the cord) and (d) the gravitational force? (Hint: When a cord loops around a pulley as shown, it pulls on the pulley with a net force that is twice the tension in the cord.)

In the figure a fastidious worker pushes directly along the handle of a mop with a force F. The handle is at an angle 0 = 43° with the vertical, and μ = 0.59 and µk = 0.36 are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the head of the mop and the floor. Ignore the mass of the handle and assume that all the mop's mass m = 0.72 kg is in its head. (a) If the mop head moves along the floor with a constant velocity, then what is F? (b) If € is less than a certain value 00, then F (still directed along the handle) is unable to move the mop head. Find 00. K (a) Number (b) Number Units Units
A cord passing over a pulley connects two masses, as shown, where m1 = 3.60 kg and m2 = 6.50 kg. Assume the pulley and surfaces are frictionless, and the cord is massless and does not stretch. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) A triangular structure is oriented such that its base rests upon a horizontal surface. Its left and right sides are of equal length and and each form 35.0° inclines with respect to the base. Rectanglular masses labeled m1 and m2 are positioned, respectively, on the structure's left and right inclines. The two masses are connected by a cord that passes over an upright pulley affixed to structure's apex. (a) What is the acceleration of each block? (Enter the magnitude in m/s2.) m/s2 (b) What is the tension in the cord (in N)? N
You find it takes 190 N of horizontal force to move an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of 2.4 m/s . You then load up the pickup and pump up its tires so that its total weight increases by 42%while the coefficient of rolling friction decreases by 19%. Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air resistance..
