Both teenagers pull with a force of 55 N at an angle of 35 ° relative to the forward direction, which is the direction of motion. In addition, the snow exerts a retarding force on the sled that points opposite to the direction of motion, and has a magnitude of 57 N. You may want to review (Pages 134 136).

- Try catching a ball while “giving” with the ball, pulling your hands toward your body. Then, try catching a ball while keeping your hands still, with no “give”.Hit water in a tub with your full palm. After the water has settled, hit the water again by diving your hand with your fingers first into the water.

- A cat burglar is planning a daring heist. He will lower himself from a beam as shown in the figure on the left. The burglar weighs 150 lbs. He plans to use a long rope that can withstand a tension of 100 lbs to suspend himself from a shorter rope, reasoning that each segment of the longer rope will only need to support half his weight. (The short rope segment is Kevlar and can easily support the burglar's full weight.)(a) Despite your moral outrage, you decide to set the burglar straight. Compute the tensions T1, T2, and T3 and explain why the plan will not work.(b) As a strictly intellectual exercise, you design an alternative arrangement of ropes that will support the burglar's weight using the same long rope from part (a). In the configuration on the right, what is the maximum angle fthat will result in a tension of less than 100 lbs in each segment of rope?You may ignore the mass of the rope in parts (a) and (b).arrow_forwardYou are in an elevator standing on a scale.

Both boxes move together at a constant speed of 16.0 cm/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the lower box is 0.444, and the coefficient of static friction between the two boxes is 0.809.
