A boy stretches a stone against the rubber tape of a catapult or 'gulel' (a device used to detach mangoes from the tree by boys in Indian villages) through a distance of 24 cm before leaving it. The tape returns to its normal position accelerating the stone over the stretched length. The stone leaves the gulel with a speed 2.2 m/s. Assuming that the acceleration is constant while the stone was being pushed by the tape, find its magnitude.

A grindstone in the shape of a solid disk with diameter 0.520 m and a mass of 50.0 kg is rotating at 850 rev/min. You press an axe against the rim with a normal force of 160 N (see Figure below), and the grindstone comes to rest in 7.50 s. What is the moment of inertia of the grindstone? What force is bringing the grindstone to a stop? What is the net torque caused by that force? What is the size of the force? What is the coefficient of friction between the axe and the grindstone?

A boy throws a paper airplane. It follows a parabolic path as shown in the figure. At the instant the paperairplane is 2 meters horizontally and 1 m vertically away from the boy, it was observed that it was flyingat a speed of 1.5 m/s and is speeding up by 0.2 m/s^2 (due to the wind). Determine the totalacceleration/deceleration of the paper airplane at this instant.

A commercial airliner with four jet engines, each producing 94 kN of forward thrust, is in a steady, level cruise when engine number 3 suddenly fails. Determine the distance d (measured up or down on the figure) to the resultant of the three remaining engine thrust vectors. Treat this as a two-dimensional problem. The distance d is positive if above the center line of the airplane, negative if below. 94 kN 6.4 m 3 13.2 m 13.2 m 94 kN 6.4 m 94 kN- Answer: d = m
