Chapter 8, Problem 70AP
Review. Why is the following situation impossible? An athlete tests her hand strength by having an assistant hang weights from her belt as she hangs onto a horizontal bar with her hands. When the weights hanging on her belt have increased to 80% of her body weight, her hands can no longer support her and she drops to the floor. Frustrated at not meeting her hand-strength goal, she decides to swing on a trapeze. The trapeze consists of a bar suspended by two parallel ropes, each of length ℓ, allowing performers to swing in a vertical circular are (Fig. P8.38). The athlete holds the bar and steps off an elevated platform, starting from rest with the ropes at an angle θi = 60.0° with respect to the vertical. As she swings several times back and forth in a circular are, she forgets her frustration related to the hand-strength test. Assume the size of the performer’s body is small compared to the length ℓ and air resistance is negligible.

Review. As shown in Figure P8.26, a light string that does not stretch changes from horizontal to vertical as it passes over the edge of a table. The string connects m1 , a 3.50- kg block originally at rest on the horizontal table at a height h = 1.20 m above the floor, to m2 , a hanging 1.90-kg block originally a distance d = 0.900 m above the floor. Neither the surface of the table nor its edge exerts a force of kinetic friction. The blocks start to move from rest. The sliding block m1 is projected horizontally after reaching the edge of the table. The hanging block m2 stops without bouncing when it strikes the floor. Consider the two blocks plus the Earth as the system. (a) Find the speed at which m1 leaves the edge of the table. (b) Find the impact speed of m1 on the floor. (c) What is the shortest length ofthe string so that it does not go taut while m1is in flight? (d) Is the energy of the systemwhen it is released from rest equal to the energy of the system just before m1…
A frustrated farmer is trying to move a large rock from his land. The stone has a mass of 9.00×102 kg. By using a piece of board as a lever and a fulcrum the farmer will have a better chance of moving the rock. The farmer places the fulcrum 0.266 m from the rock so that the edge of the board is located directly under the center of the weight of the rock. The farmer can exert a maximum force of 632.0 N. Calculate the minimum total length of board needed to move the stone?
A man is attempting to lift a crate with a double-pulley system, as shown. A single rope is routed from the ceiling, through the two pulleys, and to where the man pulls on it. The crate has mass m2=91.2kg, and the man has mass m1=89.3kg. He pulls downward on the rope with a force of magnitude F=604N. The pulleys are both massless and frictionless, and the rope is ideal.

- 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. #This is an exercise question, please help.
