Two rock climbers, Jim and Karen, use safety ropes of simi- lar length. Karen's rope is more elastic, called a dynamic rope by climbers. Jim has a static rope, not recommended for safety purposes in pro climbing. (a) Karen (Fig. 4–71) falls freely about 2.0 m and then the rope stops her over a distance of 1.0 m. Estimate how large a force (assume constant) she will feel from the rope. (Express the result in multiples of her weight.) (b) In a similar fall, Jim's rope stretches by only 30 cm. How many times his weight will the rope pull on him? Which climber is more likely to be hurt? FIGURE 4–71 Problem 85.

A block of mass m slides down from rest on a rough incline of length 8m where the incline makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. The block comes to rest on the rough horizontal surface after sliding for 4 m. The coefficient of kinetic friction on the incline is 0.30. The coefficient of kinetic friction on the horizontal surface is different from the incline, find this value using two approaches: (i) Using Newton's laws of motion and Kinematics and 30⁰ (ii) Using Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem (Give answer to 2 sig. figs.) 4 m 8 m WA
