A car starting from rest moves up an 8% grade at a uniform acceleration attaining a velocity of 67 kph, 75m from the starting point. The car has a resistance force ‘F’ opposite to the direction of motion. The car has a mass of 1800 kg with its center of gravity 0.50 m from the ground and midway between the front and rear wheels. The front and the rear wheels of the car are separated by a distance of 3 m. What is the acceleration of the car in m/s^2? What is the normal reaction at the front wheels of the car in Newtons?
When a person stands on tiptoe (a strenuous position), the position of the foot is as shown in Figure a. The total gravitational force on the body, F, is supported by the force g' n exerted by the floor on the toes of one foot. A mechanical model of the situation is shown in Figure b, where T is the force exerted by the Achilles tendon on the foot and R is the force exerted by the tibia on the foot. Find the values of T, R, and 0 when F = n = 780 N. (For 0, enter the smaller of the two possible values between 0° and 90°.) -Achilles tendon Tibia 15.0° 18.0 cm 25.0 cm b T = R =
