1. A 75.0 kg man stands on a platform scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevatorascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.20 m/s in 1.00 s. It travels with this constant speed forthe next 10.00 s. The elevator then undergoes a uniform acceleration in the negative y directionfor 1.70 s and comes to rest. What does the scale register: (d) during the time it is slowing down? Take g = 10 ms-2

A box with mass m sits at the bottom of a long ramp thatis sloped upward at an angle a above the horizontal. You give the boxa quick shove, and after it leaves your hands it is moving up the rampwith an initial speed v0. The box travels a distance d up the ramp andthen slides back down. When it returns to its starting point, the speedof the box is half the speed it started with; it has speed v0 /2. What isthe coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp? (Youranswer should depend on only a.)
Forces During Chin-ups. When you do a chinup, you raise your chin just over a bar (the chinning bar), supporting yourself with only your arms. Typically, the body below the arms is raised by about 30 cm in a time of 1.0 s, starting from rest Assume that the entire body of a 680 N person doing chin-ups is raised by 30 cm, and that half the 1.0 s is spent accelerating upward and the other half accelerating downward, uniformly in both cases. Draw a free-body diagram of the person’s body, and use it to find the force his arms must exert on him during the accelerating part of the chin-up.
