To assess a patient who is suspected of having heart disease, the physician must examine the cardiac function when (a) the patient is at rest with a heart beating at a normal pace, and (b) when under stress, for example, after exercise. To simulate the conditions of stress, the patient exercises by walking a treadmill to increase heart beat and sustain high levels of cardiac stress. Suppose a 50 kg patient exercises on the treadmill, angled at 30◦ from the ground, exerting a constant force of 500 N up the slope of the treadmill while running a constant velocity of 4 m/s along the treadmill for 5 minutes. The coefficient of friction of the treadmill is µs = 0.45. Determine the work done by the patient.

A mass m = 12 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor with NO friction for a distance d =6.6 m. Then the mass is pulled up an incline that makes an angle θ = 26° with the horizontal and has a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.45. The entire time the massless rope used to pull the block is pulled parallel to the incline at an angle of θ = 26° (thus on the incline it is parallel to the surface) and has a tension T =49 N. With work and conservation of energy, how far up the incline does the block travel before coming to rest? (Measured along the incline.)

You are a bully. You pin a 48 kg dweeb to a wall so that his feet aren't touching the ground. Your arm is extended so that it makes an angle 28 degrees with the horizontal. The dweeb's back is so sweaty with fear that there is no friction between his back and the wall. What is the magnitude of the force , in N, you must apply to keep the dweeb in equilibrium? (Use g = 10 m/s2) This scenario is represented schematically below. Unfortunately for you, years later the dweeb is your boss and he makes your life miserable.
