Running on a treadmill is slightly easier than running outside because there is no drag force to work against. Suppose a 60 kgkg runner completes a 5.0 kmkm race in 17 minutes. A) Determine the drag force on the runner during the race. Suppose that the cross section area of the runner is 0.72 m2m2. Express your answer with the appropriate units. B) What is this force as a fraction of the runner's weight? Express your answer numerically.
A dancer is standing on one leg on a drawbridge that is about to open. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drawbridge and the dancer's foot are μs and μk, respectively. n⃗ represents the normal force exerted on the dancer by the bridge, and F⃗g represents the gravitational force exerted on the dancer, as shown in the drawing.(Figure 1). For all the questions, we can assume that the bridge is a perfectly flat surface and lacks the curvature characteristic of most bridges. Before the drawbridge starts to open, it is perfectly level with the ground. The dancer is standing still on one leg. What is the horizontal component of the friction force f⃗? (Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables n, μs, and/or μk.) (Figure 2). The drawbridge then starts to rise. The dancer continues to stand on one leg. The drawbridge stops just at the point where the dancer is on the verge of slipping. What is the magnitude f of the frictional force now? (Express…

A small box of mass m₁ is sitting on a board of mass m₂ and length L (Figure 1). The board rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the board and the box is μg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the board and the box is, as usual, less than μg.

Let's consider the system given in Figure 2. The end of a flexible spring with spring constant k is attached to the wall and the other end to a block of mass m. There is no friction between the block and the inclined plane. When the spring is at its natural length, the block is first decelerated. The angle of inclination of the inclined plane is given as ß. a) What is the acceleration of the blog when the spring is extended by x?
In the figure below, a block of mass M hangs at rest. The rope that is fastened to the wall is horizontal and has a tension off 52 N. The rope that is fastened to the ceiling has a tension of 91N and makes an angle theta with the ceiling. What is the angle theta? What is the mass M? You MUST draw all the force vectors on the figure with their corresponding unit vectors( i , j ,k ) and then write the relation between forces based your sketches. Show your complete solution
We often think of friction and air resistance as forces that we want to minimize because they can hinder the motion of an object. But they are not always undesirable, and in fact, can be an essential element in a machine or process. Identify one or two applications that depend on friction and air resistance. Explain how friction or air resistance works in those situations and what would happen if there were no friction or air resistance. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length and is due on Sunday.
Two blocks are connected by a (massless) string that runs over a (massless, frictionless) pulley as shown. Assume there is no friction between block 1 and the surface of the incline. If m1 = 3.7 kg and m2 = 6.7 kg, what is the tension in the string? Express your answer in N, to at least one digit after the decimal point.
