The "Giant Swing" at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with horizontal arms attached at its upper end. Each arm supports a seat suspended from a cable 5.00 m long, and the upper end of the cable is fastened to the arm at a point 3.00 m from the central shaft as seen below. а. Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the cable supporting a seat makes an angle of 30.0 with the vertical. b. Does the angle depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution? 3.00 m 130.0° 5.00 m

A В FIG. 1. Three ballot boxes are connected by cords, one of which wraps over a pulley having negligible friction on its axle and negligible mass. In the above figure, three ballot boxes are connected by cords, one of which wraps over a pulley having negligible friction on its axle and negligible mass. The three mA = 30.0 kg, mB = 40.0 kg, mc = 10.0 kg. When the masses are assembly is released from rest, what is the tension in the cord connecting B and C?

A huge pendulum is made out of a 8.26-m cable attached at the top to a steel beam. The bottom of the cable is attached to a 38.7-kg anvil that swings back and forth. At the very bottom of its swing, the anvil travels at a speed of 2.53 m/s. Find the tension (in N) in the cable. (You may assume that the cable itself has negligible mass.)

Q. 142. A small disc P is placed on an inclined plane forming an angle 0 with the horizontal and imparted an initial velocity vo. Find how the velocity of disc depends on the angle o which its velocity vector makes with the x axis (see figure). The coefficient of friction is u= tan 0 and initially 2 P.
An adventurous archeologist (m = 85.0 kg) tries to cross a river by swinging from a vine. The vine is 10.0 m long, and his speed at the bottom of the swing is 8.00 m/s. The archeologist doesn't know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1000 N. Does he make it across the river without falling in?
Computation. Three objects are connected as in the figure with mд-7 kg, mB=6.43 kg, and mc-11.4 kg. The strings and frictionless pulleys have negligible masses, and the coefficients of friction between the block and the table are s-0.67 and u-0.151. If the system is released from rest, find the magnitude of its acceleration. [Hint: As part of your solution, check to see if block B experiences static or kinetic friction.] MA a = JACOPERTE mc E OL MB _m/s² Record your numerical answer below, assuming three significant figures.

Two masses are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley, as shown below. The masses are m1 = 6.32 kg, and m2 = 7.51 kg. If the coefficient of friction between the incline and m2 is 0.232 and the angle of the incline is 35.0°, find (a) acceleration of the two masses, (b) the tension in the string, and (c) the speed of each mass 2.11 s after being released from rest. (d) Also, determine what m2 would have to be in order to have the system accelerate in the direction opposite of what you found in (a). Assume m1 stays at the same. Note: this problem needs to be done using forces and FBDs - no credit will be given for doing it any other way.
