You are in a helicopter towing a 129-kg laser detector that is mapping out the thickness of the Brunt Ice Shelf along the coast of Antarctica. The original cable used to suspend the detector was damaged and replaced by a lighter one with a maximum tension rating of 309 pounds, not much more than the weight of the detector. The replacement cable would work without question in the case that the detector and helicopter were not accelerating. However, some acceleration of the helicopter is inevitable. In order to monitor the tension force on the cable to make sure the maximum is not exceeded (and therefore to not lose the very expensive detector) you calculate the maximum angle the cable can make with the vertical without the cable exceeding the tension limit. (a) Assuming straight and level flight of the helicopter, what is that maximum angle? (b) What is the corresponding acceleration? (c) Your colleague wants to add a 8.00-kg infrared camera to the detector. What is the maximum allowable angle now? (a) Number i (b) Number i (c) Number i Units Units Units +

Objects of masses m1 = 4.00 kg and m2 = 9.00 kg are connected by a light string dial passes over a frictionless pulley as in Figure. The object m1 is held at rest on the floor, and m2 rests on a fixed incline of θ = 40.0°. The objects are released from rest, and m2 slides 1.00 m down the incline in 4.00s. Determine (a) the acceleration of each object, (b) the tension in the string, and (c) the coefficient of kinetic friction between m2 and the incline.
A woman pulls a cloth out from under a 200 g bowl sitting on a table. The bowl is 30.0 cm from the far edge of the cloth, and the cloth exerts a friction force of 0.125 N on the bowl. Assume the cloth is pulled with a constant horizontal acceleration of 2.80 m/s2. What distance (in m) does the bowl travel relative to the top of the table? (Assume the cloth moves in the +x-direction and notice that it moves more than 30.0 cm relative to the top of the table.)
If a 93kg man plans to tow a 103000kg airplane along a runway by pulling horizontally on a cable attached to it. Suppose that he instead attempts the feat by pulling the cable at an angle of 8.5 degrees above the horizontal. the coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the runway is 0.95. what is the greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane? assume that the airplane is on wheels that turn without any frictional resistance.

Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 42.7 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together. The mass of the black block is 4.44 kg, and this time there is NO friction. What is must be the mass of the white block if both blocks are to slide to the LEFT at an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2? 7.03 kg 2.94 kg 10.55 kg 4.69 kg

A 17 kg block rests on a 32 degree inclined frictionless surface and is attached by a light string to a 34 kg hanging mass where the string passes over a massless frictionless pulley. If g = 9.8 m/s^2 what is the tension in the connecting string?
Christian is making a Tyrolean traverse as shown in the figure. That is, he traverses a chasm by stringing a rope between a tree on one side of the chasm and a tree on the opposite side, 25 m away. The rope must sag sufficiently so it won't break. Assume the rope can provide a tension force of up to 26 kN before breaking, and use a "safety factor" of 10 (that is, the rope should only be required to undergo a tension force of 2.6 kN) at the center of the Tyrolean traverse.
