Chapter 6, Problem 23P
Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.0 kg gibbon has an arm length (hand to shoulder) of 0.60 m. We can model its motion as that of a point mass swinging at the end of a 0.60-m-long, massless rod. At the lowest point of its swing, the gibbon is moving at 3.5 m/s. What upward force must a branch provide to support the swinging gibbon?

Attached to the bucket is a light rope that wraps around a cylinder of radius equals 48.7 cm and mass(mc) equals 3.26 kg. How fast is the bucket falling just before it hits the ground
A long limp spring is hung from a beam; the spring's bottom is 660 mm above the table. A 0.50 kg cylinder is hooked to the spring's bottom while the spring hangs relaxed. When the cylinder is dropped, it turns around just above the table, where the spring's bottom had been stretched to 10 mm above the table.

When kicking a football, the kicker rotates his leg about the hip joint. As we proceed through this question, you will have to pull on information from past tests. If the velocity of the tip of the kicker’s shoe is 33.5 m/s and the hip joint is 1.25 m from the tip of the shoe, what is the shoe tip’s angular velocity in rad/s? The shoe is in contact with the initially nearly stationary 0.500 kg football for 20.0 ms.

- A skater has a moment of inertia of 3 kg.m2 (kilogram, meter squared) when her arms are outstretched and 1 kg. m2 when her arms are brought to her sides. She starts to spin at 1 revolution per second when her arms are outstretched and the she pulls her arms to her sides. About how many times is this speed faster than when her arms are outstretched?arrow_forwardA light, rigid rod is 75.5 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. Wwhat minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle? m/sarrow_forwardA massless spring of constant k =78.4 N/m is fixed on the leftside of a level track. A block of mass m = 0.50 kg is pressedagainst the spring and compresses it a distance d, as in FigureP7.74. The block (initially at rest) is then released andtravels toward a circular loop-the-loop of radius R= 1.5 m.The entire track and the loop-the-loop are frictionless, except for the section of track between points A and B. Given thatthe coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and thetrack along AB is μk = 0.30 and that the length of AB is 2.5 m,determine the minimum compression d of the spring thatenables the block to just make it through the loop-the-loop atpoint C. Hint: The force exerted by the track on the block willbe zero if the block barely makes it through the loop-the-loop.arrow_forward

The other end of the string is connected to a block of mass 0.35 kg, which is then slowly lowered until the string becomes taut. After which the person lets go of the block completely, thus allowing the block to descend and the pulley to rotate in unison. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block after the person has let go?arrow_forwardThere is a small mass of m = 0.340 kg attached to rope that is anchored to the ceiling. The rope is massless and has a length of 1.50 m. The small mass is pulled back so that the rope is 67.0◦ from the vertical as shown in the figure. The small mass is released and at the very bottom of its arc, the small mass strikes a large box of M = 4.80 kg which is at rest on the frictionless table. The large mass moves forward with a velocity of 0.561 m/s after the collision. What is the maximum height, measured from h0, that the small mass can achieve after the collision?arrow_forward

The merry-go-round is spinning at a constant rate of revolution as the Terror Twins ride on it. Steve sitting 2.00 m from the center and must hold on to one of the metal posts with a horizontal force of 80.0 N to keep from sliding off. If Phil is sitting at the edge 4.00 m from the center, with what force must he hold on to keep from falling off?arrow_forwardYou have a frictionless ramp that starts at a height of 2.0 m. You have three objects at the top: (1) a block which slides down the ramp (no friction) and (2) a solid sphere and (3) a solid cylinder which both roll down the ramp without sliding. Assuming they start from rest, find the final velocity of all three objects at the bottom of the ramp. Which one reaches the bottom first?
