At a history center, an old canal boat is pulled by two draft horses. It doesn’t take much force to keep the boat moving; the drag force is quite small. But it takes some work to get the 55,000 kg boat up to speed! The horses can pull with a steady force and put a 1400 N tension in the rope that connects to the boat. The rope is straight and level. The boat starts from rest, and the horses pull steadily as they begin their walk down the towpath. How much distance do the horses cover as they bring the boat up to its final speed of 0.70 m/s?
A football coach sits on a sled while two of his players build their strength by dragging the sled across the field with ropes. The friction force on the sled is 1400 N and the angle between the two ropes is 50 degrees. Assume both players pull with the same force. How hard must each player pull to drag the coach at a steady 2.0 m/s?
The tensile capacity of the rope is 1500 N. If this rope is used to tow a 500 kg car
on a smooth level road, what is the greatest acceleration that the car can move

- An 80.0 kg mail bag hangs by a vertical rope 3.7 m long. A postal worker then displaces the bag to a position 2.5 meters sideways from its original position, always keeping the rope taut.

He is using lightweight fishing line that will break under a tension of 54 N or more. He is eager to get the fish to the dock in the shortest possible time. If the fish is at rest at the water’s surface, what’s the least amount of time in which the fisherman can raise the fish to the dock without losing it?arrow_forwardYou and some friends are trying to help another friend pull his car out some mud by attaching three ropes tohis car.

- A traffic light weighing 122 N hangs from a cable tied to two other cables fastened to a support as the figure. The upper cables make angles of q, = 37.0° and q, = 53.0° with the horizontal. These upper cables are not as strong as the vertical cable and will break if the tension in them exceeds 100 N. Does the traffic light remain hanging in this situation, or will one of the cables break?

You then load up the pickup and pump up its tires so that its total weight increases by 42%while the coefficient of rolling friction decreases by 19%. Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air resistance..arrow_forwardYou are helping your friend unload their moving truck. You are starting to get lazy, so you just set the boxes on the ramp down to the ground to let them slide down. You try to do the same with a small chair, but notice that it slides down the ramp much more slowly. Being a budding physicist, you reason that this is because the chair/ramp combination has a larger coefficient of kinetic friction than the boxes/ramp combination. The chair accelerates down the ramp at 0.72 ? ? 2 . The ramp is at an angle of 31° below the horizontal and the chair has a mass of 13 ??. Find the coefficient of friction between the chair and the ramp. Draw a free body diagram 2. Set up a coordinate system. You must correctly follow our rule to align the net acceleration for the system to be along a single axis (it cannot have an x- and a y-component). Correctly set up Newton’s Second Law (sum of the forces) in both the x- and y- direction. Correctly use either sinθ or cosθ as appropriate.arrow_forward
