Chapter 10, Problem 57P

A 2.4-kg block rests on a slope and is attached by a string of negligible mass to a solid drum of mass 0.85 kg and radius 5.0 cm, as shown in Fig. 10.28. When released, the block accelerates down the slope at 1.6 m/s². Find the coefficient of friction between block and slope.

PROBLEM 3 Cables A and B are Supporting a 185-lb wooden crate. What is the magnitude of the tension force in each cable? A 20° 35° 185 lbs

The determined Wile E. Coyote is out once more to try to capture the elusive Road Runner of Loony Tunes fame. The coyote is strapped to a rocket, which provide a constant horizontal acceleration of 15.0 m/s2. The coyote starts off at rest 79.2 m from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips by in the direction of the cliff. If the roadrunner moves with constant speed, find the minimum velocity the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote. (proper sig fig in answer)

PROBLEM 4 What is the resultant of the force system acting on the connection shown? 25 F₁ = 80 lbs IK 65° F2 = 60 lbs
