Chapter 5, Problem 81AP
An inventive child named Nick wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (Fig. P5.41), Nick pulls on the loose end of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 250 N. Nick’s true weight is 320 N, and the chair weighs 160 N. Nick’s feet are not touching the ground. (a) Draw one pair of diagrams showing the forces for Nick and the chair considered as separate systems and another diagram for Nick and the chair considered as one system. (b) Show that the acceleration of the system is upward and find its magnitude. (c) Find the force Nick exerts on the chair.

Because you wanted space, you woke up on unknown planet. While thinking you dropped a
150-g stone from rest from a height of 15.0 m. It took 3.50 s for the stone to reach the ground.
By ignoring any external forces, what is the weight of the stone on that planet and on earth?
You are designing a high-speed elevator for a new skyscraper. The elevator will have a mass limit of 2400 kg (including passengers). For passenger comfort, you choose the maximum ascent speed to be 18.0 m/s, the maximum descent speed to be 10.0 m/s, and the maximum acceleration magnitude to be 5.00 m/s2. Ignore friction.
What is the maximum upward force that the supporting cables exert on the elevator car?
A 1.9 kg otter starts from rest at the top of a
muddy incline 84.1 cm long and slides down
to the bottom in 0.60 s. What net external
force acts on the otter along the incline?
