Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 35P
The mass flow rate of water in a tube is measured using a beaker to catch water during a timed interval. The nominal mass flow rate is l00 g/s. Assume that mass is measured using a balance with a least count of 1 g and a maximum capacity of 1 kg, and that the timer has a least count of 0.1 s. Estimate the time intervals and uncertainties in measured mass flow rate that would result from using 100, 500, and 1000 mL beakers. Would there be any advantage in using the largest beaker? Assume the tare mass of the empty 1000 mL beaker is 500 g.

The hoist consists of a single rope and an arrangement of
frictionless pulleys as shown. If the angle 0 = 59°, determine
the force that must be applied to the rope, Frope, to lift a
load of 4.4 kN. The three-pulley and hook assembly at the
center of the system has a mass of 22.5 kg with a center of
mass that lies on the line of action of the force applied to the
hook.

A block of mass m hangs from the end of bar AB that is 7.2
meters long and connected to the wall in the xz plane. The
bar is supported at A by a ball joint such that it carries only a
compressive force along its axis. The bar is supported at end
B by cables BD and BC that connect to the xz plane at
points C and D respectively with coordinates given in the
figure. Cable BD is elastic and can be modeled as a linear
spring with a spring constant k = 400 N/m and unstretched
length of 6.34 meters.
Determine the mass m, the compressive force in beam AB
and the tension force in cable BC.
