A 73-kg snow skier is being pulled up a 19° slope by a steel (Young's modulus 2.0 x 10¹1 N/m²) cable. The cable has a cross-section area of 8.2 x 105 m². The cable applies a force to the skier, and, in doing so, the cable stretches by 2.6 x 104 m. A frictional force of magnitude 88 N acts on the skis and is directed opposite to the skier's motion. If the skier's acceleration up the slope has a magnitude of 1.4 m/s², what is the original (unstretched) length of the cable? Number Units

Steel construction beams, with an industry designation of "W12 × 25," have a weight of 25 pounds per foot. A new business in town has hired you to place its sign on a 4.0 m long steel beam of this type. The design calls for the beam to extend outward horizontally from the front brick wall, as shown in the figure. It is to be held in place by a 5.0-m-long steel cable. The cable is attached to one end of the beam and to the wall above the point at which the beam is in contact with the wall. During an initial stage of construction, the beam is not to be bolted to the wall, but to be held in place solely by friction. 5.0 m 4.0 m Tipler & Mosca, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 6e © 2008 W.H.

Many caterpillars construct cocoons from silk, one of the strongest naturally occurring materials known. Each thread is typically 2.0 µm in diameter, and the silk has a Young's modulus of 4.0 x 10° N/m2. Assuming that there is no appreciable space between the parallel strands, how many strands N would be needed to N = strands make a rope 8.6 m long that would stretch only 1.02 cm when supporting a pair of 85-kg mountain climbers? Again assuming that there is no appreciable space between the parallel strands, what would be the diameter d of the rope? d = cm

Current Attempt in Progress To measure the static friction coefficient between a 2.53-kg block and a vertical wall, the setup shown in the drawing is used. A spring (spring constant = 467 N/m) is attached to the block. Someone pushes on the end of the spring in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward. If the spring in such a setup is compressed by 0.0540 m, what is the coefficient of static friction? Number i eTextbook and Media Save for Later Units Attempts: 0 of 5 used Submit Answer
A sign (mass 2300 kg) hangs from the end of a vertical steel girder with a cross-sectional area of 0.010 m2. Ignore the mass of the girder itself. The elastic modulus for steel is 2.0×10^11N/m2. The stress is 2.3 x 10^6. What is the strain on the girder? It is not 1.2 x 10^-5. I know its stress is divided by the modulus. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. If the girder is 9.90 m long, how much is it lengthened?
