What is the largest dimension of which you have personal knowledge? Have you run a mile? Hiked 10 miles? Run a marathon?
To tell about the largest dimension that we have personal knowledge. We need to tell about a mile,hiked 10 miles and run a marathon when we run a distance.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The largest dimension based on personal knowledge is mile or kilometer. A normal person can easily run a mile in routine. For hike 10 miles, small practice is required but for run the marathon, regular practice is required based on gradual increase in the miles.
Explanation of Solution
The largest dimension based on personal knowledge is mile or kilometer because in a normal routine a person may walk or run 3 to 4 miles. There is another fact that the next dimension after kilometer is megameter which is 1000 times of kilometer (approximately is equal to the radius of the Earth). To run a megameter is impossible for any person at personal level in the World.
Yes, we (as a normal person) have run a mile in our routine. This is essential because a mile is equal to 1.6 kilometer (approximately) but when we hike this distance by 10 miles then it will not be so easy for a normal person. I have run 10 miles only once.
Normally, marathon run lies between 26 miles to 30 miles. I have never run a marathon because for this run, a regular practice is required. To achieve the target of marathon, we should start the run-practice from 5 miles and should increase the distance gradually on weekly basis.
Hence, we conclude that the largest dimension based on personal knowledge is mile or kilometer. A normal person can easily run a mile in routine. For hike 10 miles, small practice is required but for run the marathon, regular practice is required based on gradual increase in the miles.
Conclusion:
The largest dimension based on personal knowledge is mile or kilometer. A normal person can easily run a mile in routine. For hike 10 miles, small practice is required but for run the marathon, regular practice is required based on gradual increase in the miles.

- 5.48 ⚫ A flat (unbanked) curve on a highway has a radius of 170.0 m. A car rounds the curve at a speed of 25.0 m/s. (a) What is the minimum coefficient of static friction that will prevent sliding? (b) Suppose that the highway is icy and the coefficient of static friction between the tires and pavement is only one-third of what you found in part (a). What should be the maximum speed of the car so that it can round the curve safely?arrow_forward5.77 A block with mass m₁ is placed on an inclined plane with slope angle a and is connected to a hanging block with mass m₂ by a cord passing over a small, frictionless pulley (Fig. P5.74). The coef- ficient of static friction is μs, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is Mk. (a) Find the value of m₂ for which the block of mass m₁ moves up the plane at constant speed once it is set in motion. (b) Find the value of m2 for which the block of mass m₁ moves down the plane at constant speed once it is set in motion.

High-speed motion pictures (3500 frames/second) of a jumping 210 μg flea yielded the data to plot the flea's acceleration as a function of time, as shown in Fig. P5.78. (See "The Flying Leap of the Flea," by M. Rothschild et al., Scientific American, November 1973.) This flea was about 2 mm long and jumped at a nearly vertical takeoff angle. Using the graph, (a) find the initial net external force on the flea. How does it compare to the flea's weight? (b) Find the maximum net external force on this jump- ing flea. When does this maximum force occur? (c) Use the graph to find the flea's maximum speed. Figure P5.78 150 a/g 100 50 1.0 1.5 0.5 Time (ms)arrow_forward
- 5.4 ⚫ BIO Injuries to the Spinal Column. In the treatment of spine injuries, it is often necessary to provide tension along the spi- nal column to stretch the backbone. One device for doing this is the Stryker frame (Fig. E5.4a, next page). A weight W is attached to the patient (sometimes around a neck collar, Fig. E5.4b), and fric- tion between the person's body and the bed prevents sliding. (a) If the coefficient of static friction between a 78.5 kg patient's body and the bed is 0.75, what is the maximum traction force along the spi- nal column that W can provide without causing the patient to slide? (b) Under the conditions of maximum traction, what is the tension in each cable attached to the neck collar?
