Ann and Bob are carrying an 18.5 kg
table that is 2.25 m long. An 8.33 kg
box sits on the table 0.750 m from Ann.
How much lift force does Ann exert?

a bridge across a small stream is made by supporting a 10m long log with a mass of 75kg with ropes tied at the ends of the log to the tree on the banks. the rope on the right makes a 25 degree angle with the ground. the rope on the left makes a 20 degree angle with the ground. a 25kg child us standing 7.5 m from the left bank. write the net force equation for the y direction. write the net force equation for the x direction. write the torque equation (use the left end of the log as the axis of rotation).
To raise money for a university scholorship fund, the new IT dean has volunteered to bungee jump from a crane if contributions can be found for 10 scholarshipis. To add some interest, the jump will be made from 42 m above a pool of water. A 30 m bungee cord would be attached to the dean. First you must convince the dean that your plan is safe for a person of his mass, 70 kg. The dean knows that as the bungee cord begins to stretch, it will exert a force which has the same properties a the force exerted by a spring. Your plan has the dean stepping off a platform and being in free fall for 30 m before the cord begins to stretch. a) Determine the spring constant of the bungee cord so that it stretches only 12 m, which will just keep the dean out of the water. (Assume that the dean is a point like object). b) Using the result of a), find the dean's speed 7 m above the water.

- You are part of a search-and-rescue mission that has been called out to look for a lost explorer. You have found the missing explorer, but you are separated from him by a 200-m-high cliff and a 30-m-wide raging river, as shown in the figure. To save his life, you need to get a 5.0 kg package of emergency supplies across the river. Unfortunately, you cannot throw the package hard enough to make it across. Fortunately, you happen to have a 1.0 kg rocket intended for launching flares. Improvising quickly, you attach a sharpened stick to the front of the rocket, so that it will impale itself into the package of supplies. Once the stick is attached, you fire the rocket at the horizontal ground level toward the supplies. If the rocket and the stick remain inside the package, what minimum speed must the rocket have just before the impalement in order to save the explorer’s life? Assume that the mass of the stick and the air resistance are negligible, and ignore the gravitational effect only…arrow_forward* O 94% 12:23 E MENG250 - Pract... 2–58.
