Chapter 16, Problem 58CP
Assume an object of mass M is suspended from the bottom of the rope of mass m and length L in Problem 48. (a) Show that the time interval for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the rope is
Δt=2√Lmg(√M+m−√M)
(b) What If? Show that the expression in part (a) reduces to the result of Problem 48 when M = 0. (c) Show that for m << M, the expression in part (a) reduces to
Δt=√mLMg

A high-speed lifting mechanism supports an 881 kg object with a steel cable that is 22.0 m long and 4.00 cm^2 in cross-sectional area. Young's modulus for steel is 20.0 ⋅10^10 Pa. Determine the elongation of the cable.
Namor, from Wakanda Forever, sits on a throne at the bottom of the ocean in a city called Talocan (and Atlantis in the comics). Assuming he, including his gold headdress, has a density of 1085 kg/m3 and that Namor is surrounded by salt water with a density of 1027 kg/m3, what is Namor’s normal force while sitting underwater? Take Namor’s mass as 285. kg and solve as if he has a uniform density.
To get there they need to travel through an area of salt-water, which seems to also be a magical portal, before arriving in a dry area. Judging by the time Maui and Moana spend falling through the water, it seems they dive 3440. ft deep. Assume the portal is non-magical salt-water, with a density of 1027 kg/m^3. Given that the air pressure above the portal is 1.013 ⋅10^5 Pa, what is the pressure when they are 3440. ft deep? 1 m = 3.28 ft. Moana would have a surface area of 1.30 m2. How much force would be acting on her at the bottom of this portal?

- I. Pushing on a File Cabinet Bob has been asked to push a heavy file cabinet down the hall to another office. It's not on rollers, so there is a lot of friction. At time t = 0 seconds, he starts pushing it from rest with increasing force until it starts to move at t = 2 seconds. He pushes the file cabinet down the hall with varying amounts of force. The velocity versus time graph of the cabinet is shown below. A. On the graphs provided below, 1. draw the net force vs. time that would produce this velocity graph; 2. draw the friction force vs. time for this motion; 3. draw the applied force (Fon Cabinet by Bob) VS. time for this motion (the first two seconds of this graph have been drawn for you).
