Answer to Problem 80GP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Initial velocity of the parachutist as it falls from the plane
Initial position of the parachutist as it falls from the plane
Final position of the parachutist
Acceleration of the parachutist
Time of travel
Final velocity of the parachutist as she pulls her ripcord
Acceleration of the parachutist
Formula Used:
Position of an object at any time in accelerated motion is given as
Velocity at any time for an object in accelerated motion is given as
Calculation:
Final position of the parachutist is given as
Inserting the values
Velocity of the parachutist is given as
Inserting the values
Negative sign indicates opposite direction.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the time taken is 24.12 sec and speed is

If the coefficient of static friction between a table and a uni- form, massive rope is μs, what fraction of the rope can hang over the edge of the table without the rope sliding? 5.97 Block A, with weight Figure P5.97 3w, slides down an inclined plane S of slope angle 36.9° at a constant speed while plank B, with weight w, rests on top of A. The plank is attached by a cord to the wall (Fig. P5.97). (a) Draw a diagram of all the forces acting on block A.

- 5.60 An adventurous archaeologist crosses between two rock cliffs by slowly going hand over hand along a rope stretched between the cliffs. He stops to rest at the middle of the rope (Fig. P5.60). The rope will break if the tension in it exceeds 2.50 X 104 N, and our hero's mass is 90.0 kg. (a) If the angle is 10.0°, what is the tension in the rope? (b) What is the smallest value can have if the rope is not to break?
