The diagram shows two masses connected by a massless, stetchless string. The block on the inclined surface has a mass of 1.58 kg and the surface is frictionless. The hanging mass is 0.322 kg. The incline makes an angle of 18.1° relative to horizontal. The pulley is MASSLESS and free to rotate. The arrangement is released from rest. How fast will the hanging mass be traveling once it has descended a distance of 0.606 m?
The “Giant Swing” at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper end. Each arm supports a seat suspended from a cable 5.00 m long, and the upper end of the cable is fastened to the arm at a point 3.00 m from the central shaft (Fig. 3). (a) Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the cable supporting a seat makes an angle of 30.0° with the vertical. (b) Does the angle depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution?
a student is skateboarding down a ramp that is 5.82 m long and inclined at 24.1% with respect to the horizontal. the initial speed of the skateboarder at the top of the ramp is 3.75 m/s. neglect friction and find the speed at the bottom of the ramp.
In the figure here three ballot boxes are connected by cords, one of which wraps over a pulley having negligible friction on its axle and negligible mass. The masses are mA = 26 kg, mB = 45 kg, and mC = 12 kg. When the assembly is released from rest, (a) what is the tension in the cord connecting B and C, and (b) how far does A move in the first 0.200 s (assuming it does not reach the pulley)?
A 40 kg person is sitting on a bathroom scale while riding on a Ferris Wheel. The person's speed is 6 m/s. The scale reads 300 N when the person is at the top of the motion. Find the radius of the Ferris Wheel.
In an amusement park ride, a child stands against the wall of a cylindrical room that is then made to rotate. The floor drops downward and the child remains pinned against the wall. If the radius of the room is 2.15 m and the relevant coefficient of friction between the child and the wall is 0.600, with what minimum speed is the child moving if he is to remain pinned against the wall? 07.26 m/s O3.93 m/s O 12.1 m/s 5.93 m/s 9.80 m/s
A 5 kg mass is attached to a massless string and is being rotated in a horizontal circle. The length of the string is 0.5 m and the mass has a tangential velocity of 10 m/s. Find the tension in the string.

A ball of mass 3 kg is suspended at rest by two ideal ropes connected to the ceiling at points 1 and 2 as shown. Theangle between the horizontal and rope 1 is θ = arctan(4/8) = 26.57 deg.Determine the magnitude of the tension in the rope connecting the ball to point 1.
Children playing pirates have suspended a uniform wooden plank with mass M = 13.4 kg, length ℓ = 2.40 m, and angle θ = 35.0°, as shown in the figure. Sophia, with a mass of m = 21.6 kg, is made to "walk the plank" and is d = 1.5 m from reaching the end of the plank. What is the tension acting on the rope at the end (i.e value of F3)?
A centrifuge of radius 1.1 m is rotated at 920 revolutionns per minute. What is the force on a partcile of mass 50 g that is positioned midway between the center and edge of the centrifuge.
Two blocks of mass m1 = 3.0kg and m2 = 2.5kg are attached with a rope. The rope goes around several ideal pulleys. Two of the pulleys are attached directly to the ceiling (grey shaded region at the top) and will not move up or down. The lower pulley will move with block 1. Block 1 is free hanging and will move vertically. Block 2 rests on an inclined ramp at angle θ = 30°. The ramp is frictionless. Block 1 is observed to accelerate upwards. The experiment is done on earth, g = 9.8 m/s2 What is the tension in the long rope? by using variables only
