Concept explainers
A motorcycle accelerates from rest, and both the front and rear tires roll without slipping. (a) Is the force exerted by the ground on the rear tire in the forward or in the backward direction? Explain. (b) Is the force exerted by the ground on the front tire in the forward or in the backward direction? Explain. (c) If the moment of inertia of the front tire is increased, will the motorcycle’s acceleration increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

- The board sandwiched between two other boards in Figure P4.91 weighs 95.5 N. If the coefficient of friction between the boards is 0.663, what must be the magnitude of the compression forces (assumed to be horizontal) acting on both sides of the center board to keep it from slipping?

Determine the magnitudes of the tension force F1 in the deltoid muscle and the force Fs exerted by the shoulder on the humerus (upper-arm bone) to hold the arm in the position shown.

In the figure, block 1 has mass m1 = 470 g, block 2 has mass m2 = 600 g, and the pulley is on a frictionless horizontal axle and has radius R = 5.0 cm. When released from rest, block 2 falls 77 cm in 4.9 s without the cord slipping on the pulley. (a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks? What are (b) tension T2 (the tension force on the block 2) and (c) tension T1 (the tension force on the block 1)? (d) What is the magnitude of the pulley’s angular acceleration? (e) What is its rotational inertia? Caution: Try to avoid rounding off answers along the way to the solution. Use g = 9.81 m/s2.
