Suppose your car was mired deeply in the mud and you wanted to use the method illustrated in Figure 4.37 to pull it out. (a) What force would you have to exert perpendicular to the center of the rope to produce a force of 12,000 N on the car if the angle is 2.00°? In this part, explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion. (b) Real ropes stretch under such forces. What force would be exerted on the car if the angle increases to 7.00° and you still apply the force found in part (a) to its center?

- A block of mass m = 3.50 kg is pushed d = 3.00 m along a rough horizontal table by a constant applied force of magnitude F = 10.0 N directed at an angle 60 = 30.0° below the horizontal as shown in the figure below. Draw a free-body diagram that will enable you to solve the problem. Please include the horizontal and vertical components of applied force.arrow_forwardWhile a person is walking, his arms swing through approximately a 45 ∘ angle in 0.60 s. As a reasonable approximation, we can assume that the arm moves with constant speed during each swing.

- An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary, the tension in the cable was 6500 N. When the craft was lowered or raised at a steady rate, the motion through the water added an 1800 N drag force. What was the tension in the cable when the craft was being lowered to the seafloor?arrow_forwardA block is pulled by a rope at constant speed along a rough level surface by a rope that makes an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal.

If we set the +x-axis at the right, which of the following statements is true about the forces acting on the block? Explain answer. A. The direction of the frictional force experienced by the block is to the leftB. The normal force’s direction is 30 degrees above the +x-axisC.
