Mountain pull. A large mountain can slightly affect the direction of “down” as determined by a plumb line. Assume that we can model a mountain as a sphere of radius R=2.00 km and density (mass per unit volume) 2.6*103 kg/m3. Assume also that we hang a 0.50 m plumb line at a distance of 3R from the sphere’s center and such that the sphere pulls horizontally on the lower end. How far would the lower end move toward the sphere?
consider a force vector = 300 g at the 40º angle. resolve this vector into its x- and y-components by the following methods: a) graphical: make the x- and y-axes. use a scale of 30 g = 1.0 cm, and draw an arrow of appropriate length at 40º. drop perpendiculars from the tip of the vector to the x- and y-axes. measure the lengths of these lines and hence find the magnitudes of fx and fy. (do not calculate using trigonometry) record the results. b) analytical: compute the magnitudes of fx and fy by using the component method (equations 3-3 and 3-4). record the results.

Instead of units, indicate the direction of the x-component. Use R if to the right, L if to the left, U if upward or D if downward. y P
To raise money for a university scholorship fund, the new IT dean has volunteered to bungee jump from a crane if contributions can be found for 10 scholarshipis. To add some interest, the jump will be made from 42 m above a pool of water. A 30 m bungee cord would be attached to the dean. First you must convince the dean that your plan is safe for a person of his mass, 70 kg. The dean knows that as the bungee cord begins to stretch, it will exert a force which has the same properties a the force exerted by a spring. Your plan has the dean stepping off a platform and being in free fall for 30 m before the cord begins to stretch. a) Determine the spring constant of the bungee cord so that it stretches only 12 m, which will just keep the dean out of the water. (Assume that the dean is a point like object). b) Using the result of a), find the dean's speed 7 m above the water.

In God of War, Kratos pushes a canoe with his son in it across the sand towards water. Kratos applies a force of 751. N in the positive direction while friction causes a 395. N horizontal force is applied in the opposite direction. What is the net force on the boat?
Hi, I have to on a graph vectors that illustrate this problem. Suppose you have to move a heavy crate of weight 875 N by sliding it along a horizontal concrete floor. You push the crate to the right with a horizontal force of magnitude 300 N, but friction prevents the crate from sliding. I have tried to have the forces in the right direction. Normal force is vertically up, weight is down, friction force is in the opposite direction to force. But I'm still not getting the graph right. Not sure if the lengths of the forces have something to do with it.
VECTOR ADDITION: Find the sum of two ‘forces’: 100 g at 30º and 200 g at 120º, by: A) Graphical Method: Make the X- and Y-axes. Use a scale of 25 g = 1.0 cm. Draw arrows of appropriate lengths at 30º and 120º, both starting from the origin. Add them using the Parallelogram method. Measure the length and angle of the resultant. Convert length to magnitude of the resultant vector using the scale used to draw the vectors. Record the results in the Data Table. B) Analytical Method: Compute the sum of the two vectors by using the Component Method (Ax = A cosθ and Ay = A sinθ ) as well as the Triangle Method (A/Sin α = B / Sin β = C / Sin γ and C2 = A2 + B2 – 2AB Cos γ). Record the results in the Data Table.
