An owner of a speedboat loves high speed but doesn't want to go anywhere. So he tethers the speedboat to a fixed buoy by a strong cable of length 40.0 m40.0 m, which supplies all the centripetal force to run the boat in circles around the buoy. When the tension in the cable is steady at 13500 N13500 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat? Assume that the mass of the speedboat (including the driver) is 645 kg645 kg. Take the water's drag force to be (450 kg/m)×v2(450 kg/m)×v2, where vv denotes the boat's speed. Ignore any drag force on the cable. Be sure to include the free-body diagram for the boat.

A speedboat with a mass of 505 kg (including the driver) is tethered to a fixed buoy by a strong 29.7 m cable. The boat's ownerloves high speed, but does not really want to go anywhere. So the owner revs up the boat's engine, makes a lot of noise, and runsthe boat in circles around the buoy with the cable supplying all the necessary centripetal force. When the tension of the cable issteady at 12300 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat
A 5.00 kg box sits at rest at the bottom of a ramp that is 8.00 m long and is inclined at 30.0 above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is mk = 0.40, and the coefficient of static friction is ms = 0.43. What constant force F, applied parallel to the surface of the ramp, is required to push the box to the top of the ramp in a time of 6.00 s?
A speedboat with a mass of 545 kg545 kg (including the driver) is tethered to a fixed buoy by a strong 32.7 m32.7 m cable. The boat's owner loves high speed, but does not really want to go anywhere. So the owner revs up the boat's engine, makes a lot of noise, and runs the boat in circles around the buoy with the cable supplying all the necessary centripetal force. When the tension of the cable is steady at 13700 N,13700 N, with what force is the boat's engine pushing the boat? Different physics textbooks treat drag force somewhat differently and use different formulas. For the present purpose, take the water's drag force on the boat to be (450 kg/m)×?2,(450 kg/m)×v2, where ?v denotes the boat's speed. Ignore any drag force on the cable.
Christian is making a Tyrolean traverse as shown in the figure. That is, he traverses a chasm by stringing a rope between a tree on one side of the chasm and a tree on the opposite side, 25 m away. The rope must sag sufficiently so it won't break. Assume the rope can provide a tension force of up to 26 kN before breaking, and use a "safety factor" of 10 (that is, the rope should only be required to undergo a tension force of 2.6 kN) at the center of the Tyrolean traverse.

You are tasked with designing the runway on an aircraft carrier. The minimum speed for the F/A-18 Hornet is 180.5 mph. The Hornet weighs 40,000 lbf and its twin engines provide a thrust of ~40,000 lbf combined, providing a max acceleration of 1g. How long must the deck be to takeoff unassisted in feet?
An 8.00 kg box sits on a ramp that is inclined at 33.0 above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface of the ramp is mk = 0.300. A constant horizontal force F = 26.0 N is applied to the box, and the box moves down the ramp. If the box is initially at rest, what is its speed 2.00 s after the force is applied?
A 500 N weight suspended from a 3m cord is pulled to one side by a horizontal force so that the cord makes an angle 30° to the vertical. What is the value of the force?
A spherical raindrop of mass 0.0128 g and radius 1.45 mm falls from a cloud that is at a height of 1139 m above the ground. Assume the drag coefficient for the raindrop is 0.60 and the density of the air is 1.3 kg/m3. What is the raindrop's terminal speed? And what would the raindrop's speed just before landing on the ground if therewere no drag force (no air resistance)?
Sisyphus was a character in Greek mythology and was doomed in Hades to push a boulder to the top of a steep mountain. When he reached the top, the boulder would roll back down the mountain and he would have to start all over again. The coefficient of static friction between the boulder and the mountainside is 0.200, the mass of the boulder is 136kg (300 lbs), and the slope of the mountain is a constant 30.00. What is the force in pounds that Sisyphus must exert on the boulder to move it up the mountain at a constant velocity?
