A mother and her child are skiing together, and the
mother is holding the end of a rope tied to the child's
waist. They are moving at a speed of 7.2 km/h on a
gently sloping portion of the ski slope when the
mother observes that they are approaching a steep
descent. She pulls on the rope with an average force
of 7 N. Knowing the coefficient of friction between
the child and the ground is 0.1 and the angle of the
rope does not change, determine (a) the time required
for the child's speed to be cut in half, (b) the distance
traveled in this time.

Baggage on the floor of the baggage car of a high-speed train is not prevented from moving other than by friction. The train is traveling down a 5-percent grade when it decreases its speed at a constant rate from 120 mi/h to 60 mi/h in a time interval of 12 s. Determine the smallest allowable value of the coefficient of static friction between a trunk and the floor of the baggage car if the trunk is not to slide.
The coefficients of friction between the load and the flatbed trailer shown are us= 0.40 and Hk= 0.35. Knowing that the speed of the
rig is 45 mi/h, determine the shortest time in which the rig can be brought to a stop if the load is not to shift.
The shortest time in which the rig can be brought to a stop is

- Determine the maximum theoretical speed that a 1225 kg automobile starting from rest can reach after traveling 400 m if air resistance is considered. Assume that the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the pavement is 0.70, that the automobile has front-wheel drive, that the front wheels support 62 percent of the automobile's weight, and that the aerodynamic drag D has a magnitude D = 0.575v?, where D and v are expressed in newtons and m/s, respectively.arrow_forwardA tugboat pulls a small barge through a harbor. The propeller thrust minus the drag produces a net thrust that varies linearly with speed. Knowing that the combined weight of the tug and barge is 3600 kN, determine (a) the time required to increase the speed from an initial value v1 = 1.0 m/s to a final value v2 = 2.5 m/s, (b) the distance traveled during this time interval.arrow_forwardIn order to determine the weight of a freight train of 40 identical boxcars, an engineer attaches a dynamometer between the train and the locomotive.

Knowing that the effective coefficient of friction in the system is 0.03 and air resistance is negligible, determine (a) the weight of the train (in tons), (b) the coupling force between boxcars A and B.arrow_forward

The spring has a constant k = 30 kN/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. Knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.arrow_forwardUsing a simple pulley/rope system, a crewman on an Arctic expedition is trying to lower a 6.56 kg crate to the bottom of a steep ravine of 24.7 meters. The 60.9 kg crewman is carefully lowering the crate at a constant speed of 1.50 m/s. Unfortunately, when the crate reaches a point of 13.7 meters above the ground, the crewman slips and the crate immediately accelerates toward the ground dragging the crewman across the ice and toward the edge of the cliff. Assuming no friction, at what speed does the crate hit the ground? Also, assume that the rope is long enough to hit the ground. At what speed does the crewman hit the bottom of the ravine? Assume no air friction.arrow_forward
