- A large crate of mass m is placed on the flatbed of a truck but not tied down. As the truck accelerates forward with acceleration a, the crate remains at rest relative to the truck. What force causes the crate to accelerate? (a) the normal force (b) the gravitational force (c) the friction force (d) the ma force exerted by the crate (e) No force is required.arrow_forwardIs this correct?arrow_forwardHi I needed help with this. An athlete with a mass of 53.5 kg is doing pushups as shown in the figure below. The value for rW⊥ is 1.00 m and the value for rR⊥ is 1.60 m. (a) Assuming she moves upward at a constant speed, determine the force she must exert on the floor with each hand to do a push-up.(b) The triceps muscle in the back of her upper arm with an effective lever arm of rT⊥ = 1.70 cm, as shown in the figure below, and she exerts force on the floor a horizontal distance of r 'R⊥ = 2.05 cm from the elbow joint. Determine the force in the triceps muscle.In order to appreciate the strength of the triceps, determine the ratio of the force in the tricep muscle to her weight (in decimal form).

(ii) What forces act on the bottom box? 3 The diagrams show a box of mass m under different systems of forces.arrow_forwardA girl has a 14 kg wagon. If she pushes from behind at an angle of the 30 degrees with a force of 60 N, she finds she can push the sled with a constant speed when she pulls on the handle, it makes an angle of 30 degrees to the ground. If she pulls with the same force, how fast will the wagon accelerate?arrow_forward
- A car traveling at 60 mph (97,000 m/hr) can stop in 48 m on a level road. Determine the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road. Assume that the car starts skidding the moment the driver hits the brakes.arrow_forwardA small car and a large pickup truck are on the same road. Both have tires made of the same material, but the maximum force of friction is greater for the truck. Why is this true?arrow_forwardSuppose a car accelerates from 69 to 112 km/h? By what percent does the drag force on a car increase?arrow_forward
- An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary, the tension in the cable was 6500 N. When the craft was lowered or raised at a steady rate, the motion through the water added an 1800 N drag force. What was the tension in the cable when the craft was being lowered to the seafloor?arrow_forwardTwo masses, 4.0 kg and 6.0 kg, are connected by a “massless” rope over a “frictionless” pulley as pictured in the diagram. The ramp is inclined at 30.0º and the coefficient of kinetic friction on the ramp is 0.18. If the rope breaks when the 4.0-kg mass is 3.0 m from the bottom of the ramp, how long will it take for the mass to slide all the way down? Include a new free-body diagram and assume the sliding mass starts from rest. 2. Determine the acceleration of the system once it begins to slide. 3. Determine the tension in the rope. 4. If the rope breaks when the 4.0-kg mass is 3.0 m from the bottom of the ramp, how long will it take for the mass to slide all the way down? Include a new free-body diagram and assume the sliding mass starts from rest.arrow_forwardSisyphus was a character in Greek mythology and was doomed in Hades to push a boulder to the top of a steep mountain. When he reached the top, the boulder would roll back down the mountain and he would have to start all over again. The coefficient of static friction between the boulder and the mountainside is 0.200, the mass of the boulder is 136kg (300 lbs), and the slope of the mountain is a constant 30.00. What is the force in pounds that Sisyphus must exert on the boulder to move it up the mountain at a constant velocity?arrow_forward
