Your forehead can withstand a force of about before fracturing, while your cheekbone can withstand only about . Suppose a baseball traveling at strikes your head and stops in
a. What is the magnitude of the force that stops the baseball?
b. What force does the baseball exert on your head? Explain.
c. Are you in danger of a fracture if the ball hits you in the forehead? On the cheek?
Block B in the figure rests on a surface for which the static and kinetic coefficients of friction are and respectively. The ropes are massless.
What is the maximum mass of block A for which the system remains in equilibrium?

Block in is sliding down the incline. The rope is massless, and the massless pulley turns on frictionless bearings, but the surface is not frictionless. The rope and the pulley are among the interacting objects, but you鈥檒l have to decide if they鈥檙e part of the system.

The cable car shown in FIGURE Pdescends a -m-high hill. In addition to its brakes, the cable car controls its speed by pulling an counterweight up the other side of the hill. The rolling friction of both the cable car and the counterweight are negligible.
a. How much braking force does the cable car need to descend at constant speed?
b. One day the brakes fail just as the cable car leaves the top on its downward journey. What is the runaway car鈥檚 speed at the bottom of the hill?
The two blocks in FIGUREare sliding down the incline. What is the tension in the massless string?
