As a hiker in Glacier National Park, you are looking for a way to keep the bears from getting at your supply of food. You find
a campground that is near an outcropping of ice from one of the glaciers. Part of the ice outcropping forms a 51.5° slope up to
a vertical cliff. You decide that this is an ideal place to hang your food supply as the cliff is too tall for a bear to reach it. You
put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie an unstretchable rope to the sack, and tie another bag full of rocks to the other end
of the rope to act as an anchor. You currently have 22.5 kg of food left for the rest of your trip so you put 22.5 kg of rocks in
the anchor bag to balance it out.
What happens when you lower the food bag over…

- A student takes the elevator up to the fourth floor to see her favorite physics instructor. She stands on the floor of the elevator, which is horizontal. Both the student and the elevator are solid objects, and they both accelerate upward at 5.19 m/s2. This acceleration only occurs briefly at the beginning of the ride up. Her mass is 80.0 kg.
