A speedboat with a mass of 505 kg (including the driver) is tethered to a fixed buoy by a strong 29.7 m cable. The boat's owner
loves high speed, but does not really want to go anywhere. So the owner revs up the boat's engine, makes a lot of noise, and runs
the boat in circles around the buoy with the cable supplying all the necessary centripetal force. When the tension of the cable is
steady at 12300 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat? Different physics textbooks treat drag force somewhat
differently and use different formulas. For the present purpose, take the water's drag force on the boat to be (450 kg/m) × v²,
where v denotes the boat's speed. Ignore any drag force on the cable.

- A small ball of mass 740.0 g is placed in a tube that is bent into a circular arc of radius R= 67.5 cm.The friction between the ball and the walls of the tube is negligible. The ball has an iron core. A magnet is used to raise the ball until it makes an angle of 5.00 degrees with the vertical, and then released from rest. Where will the ball be 1.20 seconds after being released? Express your answer in terms of the angle,θ, that the ball makes with the vertical.arrow_forwardI need help with this problem (including all work please).arrow_forwardA new safe is being delivered to the Corner Book Store. It is to be placed in the wall at a height of 1.5 m above the floor. The delivery people have a portable ramp, which they plan to use to help them push the safe up and into position. The mass of the safe is 510 kg, the coefficient of static friction along the incline is m s = 0.42, and the coefficient of kinetic friction along the incline is m k = 0.33. The ramp forms an angle q = 15 ° above the horizontal. (a) How hard do the movers have to push to start the safe moving up the incline? Assume that they push in a direction parallel to the incline.(b) To slide the safe up at a constant speed, with what magnitude force must the movers push?arrow_forward

An example of a third class lever is the forearm; the force which generates the motion is located in-between the pivot point and the resistance force. The elbow acts as the pivot point, the biceps muscle pulls up on the forearm to move the mass which is held in the hand. Imagine someone is holding an object in her hand with her forearm horizontal and her upper arm vertical so her elbow creates a 90° angle. If her biceps attach to her forearm 0.0640 m from the elbow and make an angle of 28.0° with the vertical while a 3.14 kg mass is held in her hand 28.60 cm from the elbow, what force F is exerted by the biceps muscle?

- A pack of four velociraptors have caught a human running through their jungle. Each raptor grabs one limb and pulls as hard as it can. One raptor exerts a force of 50.0 N at an angle of 20.0 ̊. Another exerts a force of 30.0 N at an angle of 130.0 ̊, while a third exerts a force of 90.0 N at 160.0 ̊. If the meal remains stationary, i.e. the total force is 0, at what angle and with what force is the fourth raptor pulling? Note that force is a vector. Force is measured in units called Newtons which is abbreviated N.arrow_forwardI am wondering how to do this problem: A mixing beater consists of three thin rods, each 10.4 cm long. The rods diverge from a central hub, separated from each other by 120°, and all turn in the same plane. A ball is attached to the end of each rod. Each ball has cross-sectional area 4.10 cm2 and is so shaped that it has a drag coefficient of 0.620. The drag force on each ball is R = (1/2) D ρ A v2 where D is the drag coefficient, ρ the density of the fluid, A the cross-sectional area, and v the speed of the object moving through the fluid. (a) Calculate the power input required to spin the beater at 1000 rev/min in water. (b) The beater is taken out of the water and held in air.
