Concept explainers
A motorcycle accelerates from rest, and both the front and rear tires roll without slipping. (a) Is the force exerted by the ground on the rear tire in the forward or in the backward direction? Explain. (b) Is the force exerted by the ground on the front tire in the forward or in the backward direction? Explain. (c) If the moment of inertia of the front tire is increased, will the motorcycle’s acceleration increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

- BIO The arm in Figure P10.35 weighs 41.5 N. The gravitational force on the arm acts through point A. Determine the magnitudes of the tension force F1 in the deltoid muscle and the force Fs exerted by the shoulder on the humerus (upper-arm bone) to hold the arm in the position shown. Figure P10.35arrow_forwardThe board sandwiched between two other boards in Figure P4.91 weighs 95.5 N. If the coefficient of friction between the boards is 0.663, what must be the magnitude of the compression forces (assumed to be horizontal) acting on both sides of the center board to keep it from slipping? Figure P4.91arrow_forwardA 1.5 kg block is connected by a rope across a 50-cm-diameter, 2.0 kg pulley, as shown. There is no friction in the axle, but there is friction between the rope and the pulley; the rope doesn’t slip. The weight is accelerating upward at 1.2 m/s2. What is the tension in the rope on the right side of the pulley?arrow_forward
- When a person stands on tiptoe (a strenuous position), the position of the foot is as shown in Figure a. The total gravitational force on the body, F, is supported by the force g' n exerted by the floor on the toes of one foot. A mechanical model of the situation is shown in Figure b, where T is the force exerted by the Achilles tendon on the foot and R is the force exerted by the tibia on the foot. Find the values of T, R, and 0 when F = n = 780 N. (For 0, enter the smaller of the two possible values between 0° and 90°.) -Achilles tendon Tibia 15.0° 18.0 cm 25.0 cm b T = R =arrow_forwardb. In Case A, a ball is released from rest at the top of a frictionless hill of height h. In Case B, an identical ball is released from rest at the top of a hill of height h with sufficient friction that the ball can roll without slipping. In which case does the center of mass of the ball have a larger speed at the bottom of the hill or is it the same in both cases? Explain.arrow_forwardYou are holding a meterstick of 0.23 kg horizontally in one hand. Assume that your hand is wrapped around the last 12 cm of the stick (see figure), so the front edge of your hand exerts an upward force, and the rear edge of your hand exerts a downward force. (a) What is the upward force? N (b) What is the downward force? Narrow_forward
