Question
A frustrated farmer is trying to move a large rock from his land. The stone has a mass of 9.00×102 kg. By using a piece of board as a lever and a fulcrum the farmer will have a better chance of moving the rock. The farmer places the fulcrum 0.266 m from the rock so that the edge of the board is located directly under the center of the weight of the rock. The farmer can exert a maximum force of 632.0 N. Calculate the minimum total length of board needed to move the stone?

- Two buckets of nails are arranged in a pulley system as shown in the figure; the pulley itself is both massless and frictionless and the rope may be considered massless. At the instant shown in the figure, the bucket having the most nails is a distance D=3.10 m above the ground, the bucket having the fewest nails is at ground level, and the system has just been released from rest. The bucket having the most nails has a mass of M = 10.0 kg, and the bucket with the fewest nails has a mass of m = 5.00 kg ▼ Part A m M D As the heavier bucket moves downward, from the starting point shown in the figure, all the way to the ground, what will have been the work done on the lighter bucket by non-conservative forces? Use T for the unknown tension in the rope and give your answer symbolically. Give your answer symbolically. Choose from the symbols T.

The sea turtle and basket together have a mass of 50.0 kg. The ranger holds firmly onto the rope and walks away from the cliff, speeding up at a steady rate of 0.300 m/2 2. He thereby causes the basket (and the turtle) to accelerate straight upwards at the same rate. Assume that the rope has negligible weight and that the pulley is ideal, having no friction in its bearing. Also assume that as the ranger trudges along, his feet do not slip on the ground. +x 26.
