Chapter 7, Problem 66P
Review. As a prank, someone has balanced a pumpkin at the highest point of a grain silo. The silo is topped with a hemispherical cap that is frictionless when wet. The line from the center of curvature of the cap to the pumpkin makes an angle θi = 0° with the vertical. While you happen to be standing nearby in the middle of a rainy night, a breath of wind makes the pumpkin start sliding downward from rest. It loses contact with the cap when the line from the center of the hemisphere to the pumpkin makes a certain angle with the vertical. What is this angle?

An airplane of mass 3.60 × 105 kg experienced a problem with all its tires when it was about to touch down at a runway of an airport. The tires were deadlocked and not able to roll. The airplane began to skid once it touched down and left behind a 728 m long skid mark on the runway before it came to a stop. Even though everyone on the airplane was safe, the pilot was accused of failing to land the airplane within the allowable speed limit of 80.0 m/s and his pilot license was suspended. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and runway was 0.496.
(i) Determine the work done by friction on the tires.(ii) Use the Work-Energy Theorem to evaluate if the suspension of the pilot’s license should be revoked.

The coefficients of friction between the block and the board are μs= 0.450 and μ = 0.400. The end of the board where the block sits is slowly raised until the angle the board makes with the horizontal is α0, and then the block starts to slide down the board. If the angle is kept equal to α0 as the block slides, what is the speed of the block when it reaches the bottom of the board?

Dolphins have an approximately circular cross section and are very streamlined. A typical dolphin has a girth—the circumference at the widest part of the body—of 1.4 m and a drag coefficient of 0.090. Advanced pregnancy increases the girth to 1.7 m and, with a less streamlined shape, the drag coefficient to 0.22.

- We are now going to consider the transport of the grains of pollen in the air. A grain of pollen torn from the stamen by a gust of wind finds itself airborne. It is now in free fall because it only experiences the force due to its weight and a friction force proportional to its speed. Question : Explain why the grain of pollen will reach a limiting speed in its free fall.arrow_forwardQuestion in pic.arrow_forwardYou have a cylinder. You don't know what its internal structure looks like, but you plan to roll it down a ramp, as in this week's procedure. The ramp is 1 m long, and is elevated at an angle of 15°. The mass of the cylinder is 450 g and its diameter is 2.1 cm.If the velocity of the cylinder is 1.75 m/s at the bottom of the ramp, what is the value of k for this unusual cylinder (in Sl units)?

- A frictionless block of mass 0.5 kg slides down a ramp of height 0.2 m and onto a horizontal frictionless table. A circular frictionless wall forces the block to move in a circular path.

The ramp is 6 m long and is at an angle of 25°. There is friction on the ramp for the first crate. The laborer doesn’t know that there is a small leak in one of the bottles. The leak leaves a layer of oil on the ramp. The oil creates a frictionless surface for the second crate Wayne sends down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the speed of the second crate (without friction) is 2.5 the speed of the first crate (with friction). Find the coefficient of kinetic friction. Hint: this is a multistep problem that is be solved using only energy equations. Do not use kinematics . Use conservation of energy and start with the frictionless case.arrow_forward
