Calculate the stretch in a new 6.00 m length of steel pipe that supports 3.00 km of pipe having a mass of 20.0 kg/m and a 100-kg drill bit. The pipe is equivalent in stiffness to a solid cylinder 5.00 cm in diameter.arrow_forwardWhen a person feels that he is about to fall, he will often put out his hand to try to break the fall. Explain why this natural reaction usually leads to bruises or minor broken bones such as in the wrists instead of major broken bones such as the skull.arrow_forward
- Lurking alligators. An alligator waits for prey by floating with only the top of its head exposed, so that the prey cannot easily see it. One way it can adjust the extent of sinking is by controlling the size of its lungs. Another way may be by swallowing stones (gastrolithes) that then reside in the stomach. The figure shows a highly simplified model (a "rhombohedron gater") of mass 125 kg that roams with its head partially exposed.The top head surface has area 0.180 m2. If the alligator were to swallow stones with a total mass of 1.8% of its body mass (a typical amount), how far (in mm) would it sink?

This makes a ramp 10 ft long from one end to the other. We then place the 5 kg cube at the top of the ramp and let it go. How long will it take for the cube to reach the end of the 10 ft ramp?arrow_forwardThe metal head of a hammer is loose. To tighten it, you drop the hammer down onto a table.

- A bucket that has a mass of 25 kg when filled with sand need to be lifted to the top of a 10 meter tall building. You have a rope that has a mass of 0.4 kg/m that must be secured to the bucket. It takes 1 meter of rope to secure the bucket. Once the bucket reaches the top of the building it only has mass 14 kg because there was a hole in the bottom and sand was leaking out at a constant rate while it was being lifted to the top of the building. Find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building.arrow_forwardThere is a disk of cartilage between each pair of vertebrae in your spine.

If this disk supports half the weight of a 65 kg person, by what fraction of its thickness does the disk compress?arrow_forwardA bucket that has a mass of 10 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 15 meter tall building. You have a rope that has a mass of 0.2 kg/m that must be secured to the bucket. It takes 1 meter of rope to secure the bucket. Once the bucket reaches the top of the building it only has mass 5 kg because there was a hole in the bottom and sand was leaking out at a constant rate while it was being lifted to the top of the building. Find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building. Joulesarrow_forward
