For Exercises 1 through 5:
a. Draw an interaction diagram.
b. Identify the "system" on your interaction diagram.
c. Draw a free-body diagram for each object in the system. Use dashed lines to connect members of an action/reaction pair.
1. A soccer ball and a bowling ball have a head-on collision at this instant. Rolling friction is negligible.
2. A weightlifter stands up at constant speed from a squatting position while holding a heavy barbell across his shoulders.
3. A steel cable with mass is lifting a girder. The girder is speeding up.
4. Block A in FIGURE EX7.4 is heavier than block B and is sliding down the incline. All surfaces have friction. The rope is massless, and the massless pulley turns on frictionless bearings. The rope and the pulley are among the interacting objects, but you'll have to decide if they're part of the system.

- A hula hoop is released from rest at the top of a playground slide. In going down the slide, the center of mass of the hula hoop moves down 3.82 meters. a. If the slide were frictionless and the hula hoop did not roll, how fast would the hula hoop be going at the bottom of the slide? Include units in your answer. b. In reality, the hula hoop rolls. How fast is the hula hoop (the center of mass of the hula hoop) going at the bottom of the slide? Include units in your answer. PLEASE RESPOND IN HANDWRITINGarrow_forwardan adventurous archeologist crosses between two rocks cliffs, with a ranging river far below, by slowly going hand over hand along a rope stretched between the cliffs. He stops to rest at the middle of the rope. The rope will break if the tension in it exceeds 3.00 x 10⁴N, and our heros mass is 81.6 kg. a. if the angle that the rope makes with the cliff is 75°find the tension in the rope. b.
