BackA man pushes on a piano with mass kg; it slides at constant velocity down a ramp that is inclined at above the horizontal floor. Neglect any friction acting on the piano. Calculate the magnitude of the force applied by the man if he pushes parallel to the incline.
Three horizontal forces act on a box (mass = 8 kg) sitting on a smooth surface. F1 is 30 N acting at 53° counterclockwise from the +x axis, F2 is 13 N acting at 67.4° clockwise from the +x axis, and F3 is 20 N directly along the -x axis. What are the magnitude and direction of the box's acceleration?
You push a 5.1kg cart along the floor with an unknown force F at 30° below the horizontal. Using a scale, you know the Normal force is 70N. What is the horizontal acceleration of the cart?
(II) Two large snowcats are towing a housing unit north, as shown in Fig. 4–42. The sum of the forces and exerted on the unit by the horizontal cables is north, parallel to the line , and . Determine and the magnitude of .
Andrea dangles her watch from a thin piece of string while the jetliner she is in accelerates for takeoff, which takes about 21 s. Estimate the takeoff speed of the aircraft if the string makes an angle of 24° with respect to the vertical, Fig. 4–61.
A man pushes on a piano with mass kg; it slides at constant velocity down a ramp that is inclined at above the horizontal floor. Neglect any friction acting on the piano. Calculate the magnitude of the force applied by the man if he pushes parallel to the floor.
An 85,000 kg stunt plane performs a loop-the-loop, flying in a 260-m-diameter vertical circle. At the point where the plane is flying straight down, its speed is 55 m/s and it is speeding up at a rate of 12 m/s per second. What angle does the net force make with the horizontal? Let an angle above horizontal be positive and an angle below horizontal be negative.
A particle of mass m moving along the x-axis experiences the net force Fₓ = ct, where c is a constant. The particle has velocity v₀ₓ at t = 0. Find an algebraic expression for the particle's velocity vₓ at a later time t.
