A cylindrical bucket, open at the top, is 25.0 cm high and 10.0 cm in diameter. A circular hole with a cross-sectional area 1.50 cm2 is cut in the center of the bottom of the bucket. Water flows into the bucket from a tube above it at the rate of 2.40 x 10-4m3/s. How high will the water in the bucket rise?
An point mass and a point mass are held apart. A particle of mass mis released from a point between the two masses from the group along the line connecting the two fixed masses. Find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle.
You decide to visit Santa Claus at the north pole to put in a good word about your splendid behavior throughout the year. While there, you notice that the elf Sneezy, when hanging from a rope, produces a tension of in the rope. If Sneezy hangs from a similar rope while delivering presents at the earth’s equator, what will the tension in it be? (Recall that the earth is rotating about an axis through its north and south poles.) Consult Appendix F and start with a free-body diagram of Sneezy at the equator.
The driver of a car wishes to pass a truck that is traveling at a constant speed of(about). Initially, the car is also traveling at, and its front bumper isbehind the truck’s rear bumper. The car accelerates at a constant 0.600, then pulls back into the truck’s lane when the rear of the car isahead of the front of the truck. The car islong, and the truck is 21.0m long. (a) How much time is required for the car to pass the truck? (b) What distance does the car travel during this time? (c) What is the final speed of the car?
