Suppose you hold the glider in Example 5.12 so that it and the weight are initially at rest. You give the glider a push to the left in Fig. 5.15a and then release it. The string remains taut as the glider moves to the left, comes instantaneously to rest, then moves to the right. At the instant the glider has zero velocity, what is the tension in the string? (i) Greater than in Example 5.12; (ii) the same as in Example 5.12; (iii) less than in Example 5.12 but greater than zero; (iv) zero.

- A 1.3 kg box of frozen chocolate chip waffles is pulled across a table by a rope at t1 = 0s. The rope is at an angle θ = 60º and under a tension of 4 N. Suppose there is no friction between the box and table.arrow_forwardYou design a system in which a granite block on a cart with steel wheels (weight w1, including both block and cart) is pulled uphill on steel rails by a dirt-filled bucket (weight w2, including both dirt and bucket) dropping vertically. Howmust the weights w1 and w2 be related in order for the system to move with constant speed? Ignore friction in the pulley and wheels and the weight of the cable. Relate w1 (weight of the cart) with w2 (weight of the bucket) for the system to be in equilibrium. Write the equilibrium equation for the y-part + solve for n.arrow_forwardA small diamond of mass 10.0 g drops from a swimmer’s earring and falls through the water, reaching a terminal velocity of 2.0 m/s. (a) Assuming the frictional force on the diamond obeys f = −bv, what is b? (b) How far does the diamond fall before it reaches 90 percent of its terminal speed?arrow_forward
- A 5.00 kg box sits at rest at the bottom of a ramp that is 8.00 m long and is inclined at 30 degrees above the horizontal. The coefficent of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.40, and coefficent of static friction is 0.43. What constant force F, applied parallel to the surface of the ramp, is required to push the box to the top of the ramp in a time of 6.00 seconds?arrow_forwardA 37.0-kg child swings in a swing supported by two chains, each 3.08 m long. The tension in each chain at the lowest point is 420 N. (a) Find the child's speed at the lowest point. |m/s (b) Find the force exerted by the seat on the child at the lowest point.

Find the tension in the rope to make the crate start moving. Assume the weight of the crate is 500 N and the coefficient of friction between the crate and ground is 0.40.arrow_forward

What is the tension at the top of the rope?arrow_forwardSuppose you are performing an experiment on a crate of 45-kg tools resting on a horizontal floor. You exert a gradually increasing horizontal push on it and observe that the crate just begins to move when your force exceeds 313 N. After that you must reduce your push to 208 N to keep it moving at a steady 25 cm/s. What is the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor?arrow_forwardAsap plzzzarrow_forward

Both boxes move together at a constant speed of 15 cm/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the lower box is 0.444, and the coefficient of static friction between the two boxes is 0.800.

The angle the incline makes with the horizontal is 34.0°. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the ramp is 0.430 while the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.280. Use g = 9.80 m/s2. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the box's acceleration while it is sliding up the ramp. m/s2 (b) How far (measured parallel to the incline) does the box travel before coming instantaneously to rest? m (c) After the box comes instantaneously to rest on the ramp, it then either starts sliding down, or remains at rest. Either enter 0, if you determine that the box remains at rest, or calculate the magnitude of the box's acceleration while it is sliding back down the ramp. m/s2arrow_forwarda)The distance between two telephone poles is 43m.
