Chapter 8, Problem 63P

George of the Jungle, with mass m, swings on a light vine hanging from a stationary tree branch. A second vine of equal length hangs from the same point, and a gorilla of larger mass M swings in the opposite direction on it. Both vines are horizontal when the primates start from rest at the same moment. George and the gorilla meet at the lowest point of their swings. Each is afraid that one vine will break, so they grab each other and hang on. They swing upward together, reaching a point where the vines make an angle of 35.0° with the vertical. Find the value of the ratio m/M.

Adolf and Ed are wearing harnesses and are hanging at rest from the ceiling by means of ropes attached to them. Face to face, they push off against one another. Adolf has a mass of 120 kg, and Ed has a mass of 73 kg. Following the push, Adolf swings upward to a height of 0.53 m above his starting point. To what height above his own starting point does Ed rise?
For a safe reentry into Earth's atmosphere, the pilots of a space capsule must reduce their speed from 2.60 x 104 m/s to 1.10 × 104 m/s. The rocket engine produces a backward force on the capsule of 1.80 x 105 N. The mass of the capsule is 3280 kg. For how long must they fire their engine? Ignore the change in mass of the capsule due to the expulsion of exhaust gases.
Your answer is partially correct. Docking a Spaceship. You and your crew must dock your 2.75 x 104 kg spaceship at Spaceport Alpha, which is orbiting Mars. In the process, Alpha's control tower has requested that you ram another vessel, a freight ship of mass 1.80 × 104 kg, latch onto it, and use your combined momentum to bring it into dock. The freight ship is not moving with respect to the colossal Spaceport Alpha, which has a mass of 1.85 x 107 kg. Alpha's automated system that guides incoming spacecraft into dock requires that the incoming speed is less than 2.0 m/s. (a) Assuming a perfectly linear alignment of your ship's velocity vector with the freight ship (which is stationary with respect to Alpha) and Alpha's docking port, what must be your ship's speed (before colliding with the freight ship) in order that the combination of the freight ship and your ship arrive at Alpha's docking port with a speed of 1.65 m/s? (b) What will be the velocity of Spaceport Alpha when the…
