Pancake collapse of a tall building. In the section of a tall building shown in Figure (a), the infrastructure of any given floor K must support the weight W of all higher floors. Normally the infrastructure is constructed with a safety factor s so that it can withstand an even greater downward force of sW. If, however, the support columns between K and L suddenly collapse and allow the higher floors to free- fall together onto floor K (Figure (b)), the force in the collision can exceed sW and, after a brief pause, cause K to collapse onto floor J, which collapses on floor I, and so on until the ground is reached. Assume that the floors are separated by d = 4.0 m and have the same mass. Also assume that when the floors above K free-fall onto K, the collision lasts 2.0 ms. Under these simplified conditions, what value must the safety factor s exceed to prevent pancake collapse of the building? KI N M L K 11-11 Number Units (a) (b)
Current Attempt in Progress Review Conceptual Example 16 as background for this problem. The water skier there has a mass of 79.0 kg. Find the magnitude of the net force acting on the skier when (a) she is accelerated from rest to a speed of 11.0 m/s in 7.20s and (b) she lets go of the tow rope and glides to a halt in 22.0 s. (a) Number i (b) Number Units Units
To avoid a collision while traveling at a speed of 19 m/sec and descending a steep mountain pass with a grade of 4.3%, a truck locks up all wheels and skids to a stop over a distance of 90 meters. Determine the coefficient of friction between the truck tires and pavement.
