Chapter 7, Problem 49AP
Over the Christmas break, you are making some extra money for buying presents by working in a factory, helping to move crates around. At one particular time, you find that all the handtrucks, dollies, and carts are in use, so you must move a crate across the room a straight-line distance of 35.0 m without the assistance of these devices. You notice that the crate has a rope attached to the middle of one of its vertical faces. You decide to move the crate by pulling on the rope. The crate has a mass of 130 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the concrete floor is 0.350. (a) Determine the angle relative to the horizontal at which you should pull upward on the rope so that you can move the crate over the desired distance with the force of the smallest magnitude. (b) At this angle of pulling on the rope, how much work do you do in dragging the crate over the desired distanced?

The figure shows a 2400 kg cable car descending a high hill. A counterweight of mass 2200 kg on the other side of the hill aids the brakes in controlling the cable car's speed. The rolling
friction of both the cable car and the counterweight are negligible. How much braking force does the cable car need to descend at constant speed?

A spider hangs from the junction formed by three strands of
silk, as shown in the figure. The force of tension in each
strand pulls at the junction. The net force at the junction is
zero. In other words, the resultant of all three force vectors
is zero at the junction. The gravitational force on the spider
makes it exert a downward force of 0.15 N on the junction.
The two sloping strands are perpendicular to each other. We
have chosen the x and y axes to be along those strands as
shown. The force of the right strand on the junction has magnitude Tx
force of the left strand on the junction has unknown magnitude T,y. a) Calculate Ty. b)
Calculate the angle between the x axis and the horizontal direction.
Hint: The SI unit of force is the newton, which is abbreviated as N. You must consider
three force vectors. The x components of all three vectors must add to zero, and the y
components must also add to zero. Note that the coordinate system is "rotated" which is

An electron microscope can view such objects using an electron beam instead of a light beam. Electron microscopy has proved invaluable for investigations of viruses, cell membranes and subcellular structures, bacterial surfaces, visual receptors, chloroplasts, and the contractile properties of muscles. The "lenses" of an electron microscope consist of electric and magnetic fields that control the electron beam. As an example of the manipulation of an electron beam, consider an electron traveling away from the origin along the x axis in the xy plane with initial velocity v, = vị.

As part of your interview you have been asked to evaluate the design for a stunt in a new Indiana Jones production. A large spherical boulder starts from rest and rolls down an inclined track. At the bottom, the track curves up into a vertical circle so that the boulder can roll around on the inside of the circle and come back to ground level. It is important that the boulder not fall off the track at the top of the circle and crush the star standing below. You have been asked to determine the relationship between the heights of the boulder’s starting point on the ramp (measured from the center of the boulder) and the maximum radius of the circular part of the track. You can determine the mass and the radius of the boulder should you need to know them. You have been told that the moment of inertia of a sphere is 2/5 that of a ring of the same mass and radius.
