Tarzan, who weighs , swings from a cliff at the end of a vine that hangs from a high tree limb and initially makes an angle of with the vertical. Assume that an xaxis extends horizontally away from the cliff edge and a yaxis extends upward. Immediately after Tarzan steps off the cliff, the tension in the vine is . Just then, (a) what is the force on him from the vine in unit-vector notation and the net force on him (b) what is in unit-vector notation and as (c) what is a magnitude and (d) what is the angle relative to the positive direction of the xaxis? (e) What is the magnitude of Tarzan鈥檚 acceleration and (f) What is the angle of Tarzan鈥檚 acceleration just then?
Figure 5-28 shows four choices for the direction of a force of magnitude F to be applied to a block on an inclined plane. The directions are either horizontal or vertical. (For choice b, the force is not enough to lift the block off the plane.) Rank the choices according to the magnitude of the normal force acting on the block from the
plane, greatest first.

A skier skis directly down a frictionless slope angled at to the horizontal. Assume the skier moves in the negative direction of an xaxis along the slope. A wind force with component role="math" localid="1657169142011" acts on the skier. (a) What is if the magnitude of the skier鈥檚 velocity is constant, (b) What isif the magnitude of the skier鈥檚 velocity is increasing at a rate of , and (c) What is if the magnitude of the skier鈥檚 velocity is increasing at a rate of?
In Figure 5-40, a crate of mass is pushed at constant speed up a frictionless rampby a horizontal force. (a) What are the magnitudes ofand (b) What are the magnitudes of the force on the crate from the ramp?

In Figure 5-48, three connected blocks are pulled to the right on a horizontal frictionless table by a force of magnitude. If,, and , calculate (a) the magnitude of the system鈥檚 acceleration,(b) the tension , and (c) the tension .
