Chapter 13, Problem 13.10P
Review. A student proposes to study the gravitational force by suspending two 100.0-kg spherical objects at the lower ends of tables from the ceiling of a tall cathedral and measuring the deflection of the cables from the vertical. The 45.00-m-long cables are attached to the ceiling 1.000 m apart. The first object is suspended, and its position is carefully measured. The second object is suspended, and the two objects attract each other gravitationally. By what distance has the first objet I moved horizontally from its initial position due to the gravitational attraction to the other object? Suggestion: Keep in mind that this distance will be very small and make appropriate approximations.

4.4 A man is dragging a trunk up the
loading ramp of a mover's truck. The
ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and
the man pulls upward with a force F
whose direction makes an angle of 30.0°
75.0°
with the ramp (Fig. E4.4). (a) How large a force F is necessary for the
component Fx parallel to the ramp to be 90.0 N? (b) How large will the
component Fy perpendicular to the ramp be then?

A projectile is shot from a launcher at an angle e, with an initial velocity
magnitude v., from a point even with a tabletop. The projectile lands on the tabletop
a horizontal distance R (the "range") away from where it left the launcher. Set this
up as a formal problem, and solve for vo (i.e., determine an expression for Vo in
terms of only R, 0., and g). Your final equation will be called Equation 1.
2. A projectile is shot from a launcher at an angle 0,, with an initial velocity
magnitude vo, from a point even with a tabletop. The projectile hits an apple atop a
child's noggin (see Figure 1). The apple is a height y above the tabletop, and a
horizontal distance x from the launcher. Set this up as a formal problem, and solve
for x. That is, determine an expression for x in terms of only v₁, o,y and g.
Actually, this is quite a long expression. So, if you want, you can determine an
expression for x in terms of v., 0., and time t, and determine another expression for
timet (in terms of v., 0., y and g) that you will solve and then substitute the value of
t into the expression for x. Your final equation(s) will be called Equation 3 (and
Equation 4).
