- In the figure, is the tension in the rope between the ceiling and Superhero the same as the tension in the rope between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick? A. Jimmy: "Yes, of course it is the same. It's a single rope with a single tension force on both ends. Booyah!" B. Emmy: "I think they are different. The tension in the space between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick only has to hold up Trusty Sidekick, but the tension above Superhero has to hold up both Superhero and Trusty Sidekick. C. Timmy: "Wouldn't your, 'both ends' be the end on the ceiling and the end at Trusty Sidekick? How can you have a different 'both ends' for the space between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick? Wouldn't that only work if they had two different ropes? Or if the rope breaks? The rope clearly holds, so the tension force must be the same everywhere along the rope.

- 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?arrow_forward* O 94% 12:23 E MENG250 - Pract... 2–58.

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.arrow_forward

When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.arrow_forwardYou 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
