An initially stationary box of sand is to be pulled across a floor by means of a cable in which the tension should not exceed . The coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor is . (a) What should be the angle between the cable and the horizontal in order to pull the greatest possible amount of sand, and (b) what is the weight of the sand and box in that situation?
A roller-coaster car at an amusement park has a mass ofwhen fully loaded with passengers. As the car passes over the top of a circular hill of radius, assume that its speed is not changing. At the top of the hill, what are the (a) magnitudeand (b) direction (up or down) of the normal force on the car from the track if the car’s speed is? What are (c)and (d) the direction if?
Continuation of Problem 8. Now assume that Eq. 6-14 gives the magnitude of the air drag force on the typical stone, which presents to the wind a vertical cross-sectional area ofand has a drag coefficient C of. (a) In kilometers per hour, what wind speedalong the ground is needed to maintain the stone’s motion once it has started moving? Because winds along the ground are retarded by the ground, the wind speeds reported for storms are often measured at a height of. Assume wind speeds are times those along the ground. (b) For your answer to (a), what wind speed would be reported for the storm? (c) Is that value reasonable for a high-speed wind in a storm?
In 1987, as a Halloween stunt, two skydivers passed a pumpkin back and forth between them while they were in free fall just west of Chicago. The stunt was great fun until the last skydiver with the pumpkin opened his parachute. The pumpkin broke free from his grip, plummeted about0.5 km, and ripped through the roof of a house, slammed into the kitchen floor, and splattered all over the newly remodeled kitchen. From the sky diver’s viewpoint and from the pumpkin’s viewpoint, why did the skydiver lose control of the pumpkin?
A circular curve of highway is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. Assume the traffic consists of cars without negative lift. (a) If the radius of the curve is 150 m, what is the correct angle of banking of the road? (b) If the curve were not banked, what would be the minimum coefficient of friction between tires and road that would keep traffic from skidding out of the turn when traveling at60 km/h?
