Michael Jordan has a portable basketball hoop in his driveway. He has set the basket at 8 ft (2.4 m) high so he can practice dunking the ball (he’s a bit older now, so he can’t quite jump “Air” Jordan style). He slams the ball through the hoop and then hangs on to the rim. This exerts a downward force of 600 N on the front of the rim. The front of the rim is 1.1 m in front of the front edge of the portable hoop’s base. The mass of the whole portable basketball hoop is 70 kg. The center of gravity of the portable hoop is 1.0 m behind the front edge of the base.
How much torque is produced around the front of the hoop base by the 600 N force Air Jordan exerts on the front of the rim?
How much torque is needed to tip the hoop?
What is the largest vertical force that can be exerted on the front edge of the rim before the portable hoop begins to tip?
In the Atwood machine shown below, ml = 2.00-kg and m2 = 5.60-kg. The masses
of the pulley and string are negligible by comparison. The pulley turns without
friction and the string does not stretch. The lighter object is released with a sharp
push that sets it into motion at vi = 2.15 m/s downward. How long will it take for
mị to reach the lowest level?

Two small cylindrical plastic containers with flat bottoms are placed on a turntable that has a smooth flat surface. Canister A is empty; canister B is full. Each canister is the same distance r from the center. The coefficient of static friction between the canisters and the turntable is µs. The speed of the turntable is gradually increased. Describe what will happen. Include which container will fall off first or if they will fall off at the same time.

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the truck bed is Usb=0.50, the coefficient of rolling friction between the truck's tires and the road is Urt=0.03. The truck comes to an unbanked curve in the road having a 40m radius. What is the maximum speed with which the truck can take the curve without damaging the wine glasses? Note that in order for the wine glasses to not be damaged, the box they're in should not slide on the truck bed and the truck itself should not slide on the road while taking the curve.arrow_forward

They have to bring down a couple bags of cattle feed from the 2nd floor of their barn, to the bottom. To do this they will use a disc pulley to lower the two bags of cattle feed down. As a counter weight, they will use their friend Stewart. Stewart will start on the ground with the rope attached to him, and since Stewart has a lower mass than the two bags of cattle feed, when they put the cattle feed over the edge on the 2nd floor, the cattle feed will fall down, and Stewart will be raised up. Using the givens below, calculate how fast the bags of cattle feed will be falling the instant before they hit the ground. Mass of Stewart: 55 Kg Mass of the two bags of cattle feed: 70 Kg Height of the 2nd floor of the barn: 2.5m Radius of the disc pulley: 0.75m Mass of the disc pulley: 4 kg Acceleration of Gravity: 10arrow_forward.

What is the most likely force (or combination of forces) that provides the centripetal force when the ride moves at low speed? b. The rider won’t feel as though she is being pushed toward the wall until the centripetal force is approximately equal to her weight. At what angular speed will this be the case? c.
