A ball with mass m is attached to the end of a flagpole as shown in the figure below. The flagpole is connected to the side of a building at point P, has a length e, and makes an angle 0 with the x-axis. (Consider the +x-direction to be to the right, the +y-direction upward, and the +z-direction to be out of the page.) At time t = 0, the ball becomes loose and begins to fall off of the flagpole with acceleration –gĵ. (a) What is the angular momentum of the ball about point P as a function of time? (Use the following as necessary: m, l, g, t, and 0. Express your answer in vector form.) (b) For what physical reason does the angular momentum change? There is no change in angular momentum. The weight of the flagpole exerts a torque on the ball. There is a torque due to the gravitational force on the ball. (c) What is the rate of change of the angular momentum of the ball about point P? (Use the following as necessary: m, l, g, and 0. Express your answer in vector form.) dL dt

In this question the unit vectors i and j are in the directions east and north respectively. A particle R of mass 2kg is moving on a smooth horizontal surface under the action of a single horizontal force FN. At time t seconds, the velocity vms of R, relative to a fixed origin O, is given by v = (pr -31)i + (81 +q)j, where p and q are constants and p<0. (a) Given that when t= 0.5 the magnitude of F is 20, find the value of p. When t= 0, R is at the point with position vector (2i – 3j) m. (b) Find, in terms of q, an expression for the displacement vector of R at time t. When t = 1, R is at a point on the line L, where L passes through O and the point with position vector 2i - 8j. (c) Find the value of q.
A uniform chain of length L and mass M lies on a frictionless horizontal table with a very small part hanging from the edge of the table. The chain begins to fall under the weight of the hanging part. Obtain the expression for the velocity of the chain at the instant when the length of the hanging part becomes L/n where n > 1.
Let us consider the fall of a pole vaulter as a projectile once he releases the pole. The pole has a lake of 15 8 feet and once the athlete releases the pole he will find a mattress 2 feet high, 10 feet wide and 16 feet long, which protects him in the fall. If an athlete lets go of the pole when it was 13.7 ft above the ground with a speed of 15.7 ft/s at an angle of 73 degrees. Enter the horizontal distance that the athlete will travel with the indicated conditions, add the units in the result
Q. Two workers, A and B, are each pulling identical crates of tools a distance of 10 m along a level floor. Worker A pulls the crate with a force of 850 N at an angle of 30° with respect to the floor, and Worker B also pulls the crate with a force of 850 N, but at an angle of 45° with respect to the floor. Assume that in both cases, the crates are moved from (0, 0, 0) to (10, 0, 0), and the z-axis points upward, perpendicular to the floor. Find the amount of work done by each person in moving the crate.

There are two boxes with same mass couple together by a massless rope. One of the masses is on a ramp raised to an angle of 42 degrees, the other mass is hanging off to the right as shown in the figure. In between the two masses, the rope sun over a frictionless, massless pulley. If the mass on the ramp starts the problem at the top of the inclined plane, and the system is given a push, so that it is moving with an initial velocity pointing down the ramp. Ignore wind resistance for this problem. a) If the coefficient of friction is 0.30, what is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the system? Use the coordinate system given in the figure. (a=-2.71362 m/s^2 along the -x direction) What is the angle required for the the acceleration of the system to equal zero? Explain you reasoning with a few sentences.

The diagram shows the all of the forces acting on a body of mass 3.13 kg. The three forces have magnitudes F1 = 59.2 N, F2 = 27.7 N, and F3 = 74.4 N, with directions as indicted in the diagram, where θ = 55.8 degrees and φ = 21.4 degrees. The dashed lines are parallel to the x and y axes. At t = 0, the body is moving at a speed of 5.29 m/s in the positive x direction. 1.)What are the x and y components of the acceleration in m/s2?
