A box is being lowered from a height of 10m to the ground. A rope is attached to a cylinder. The cylinder is stationary and can be modeled as a solid disc and is 50kg with a radius of 0.8m. The cylinder is frictionless. The box has a mass of 80kg. If the box starts from rest, what is the speed right before it touches the ground?4
A solid cylinder and a hollow cylinder have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. (The hollow cylinder has lightweight spokes connecting it to the axle.) A rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to a block. The blocks have the same mass and are held the same height above the ground as shown. Both blocks are released simultaneously. The ropes do not slip. Which block hits the ground first? Or is it a tie? Explain.
Greek engineers had the unenviable task of moving large columns from the quarries to the city.
One engineer, Chersiphron, tried several different techniques to do this. One method was to cut
pivot holes into the ends of the stone and then use oxen to pull the column. The 4ft diameter
column weighs 12000lb, and the team of oxen generates a constant pull force of 1500lb on the
center of the cylinder G. Knowing that the column starts from rest and rolls without slipping,
determine the velocity of its center G after it has moved 5ft and the minimum static coefficient
of friction that will keep it from slipping.

- A frustrated farmer is trying to move a large rock from his land. The stone has a mass of 9.00×102 kg.

- A tree contractor has been hired by a homeowner to remove a damaged tree from a previous storm. The top of the tree broke off, leaving the trunk in the ground. The arborist will remove the tree by attaching a rope near the top and cutting the base close to the ground. The scenario is shown in the figure. The distances in the figure are z=14.7 m,, h=1.45 m,, y=5.66 m and x=8.00 m. If the arborist pulls on the rope with a force of magnitude F=36.8 N,F=36.8 N, write the expression for the torque ττ with respect to the base P of the tree using ijkijk unit vector notation, →τ=τxi+τyj+τzk where τx,τy,and τz are the values of the torque components in the x-,, y-, and z-directions, respectively.arrow_forwardA metal hoop with 0.21 kg of mass and 0.060 m of radius rolled without slipping on a horizontal floor.
