- Calculate the maximum acceleration of a car that is heading up a 4.00slope (one that makes an angle of 4.00with the horizontal) under the following road conditions. Assume that only half the weight of the car is supported by the two drive wheels and that the coefficient of static friction is involved—that is, the tires are not allowed to slip during the acceleration. (Ignore rolling.) (a) On wet concrete. (b) On wet concrete. (C) On ice, assuming that s=0.100 , the same as for shoes on ice.arrow_forwardJamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle? FIGURE P5.76arrow_forwardShow that, as explained in the text, a force F exerted on a flexible medium at its center and perpendicular to its length (such as on the tightrope wire in Figure 5.26) gives rise to a tension of magnitude T=F/2sin() .arrow_forward
- A hiker who has broken his forearm rigs a temporary sling using a cordstretching from his shoulder to his hand. The cord holds the forearmlevel and makes an angle of 40.0° with the horizontal where it attachesto the hand. Considering the forearm and hand to be uniform, with atotal mass of 1.30 kg and a length of 0.300 m, find (a) the tension inthe cord and (b) the horizontal and vertical components of the force, f>,exerted by the humerus (the bone of the upper arm) on the radius andulna (the bones of the forearm).arrow_forward7.6 Determine the smallest angle θ at which the uniform triangular plate of weight W can remain at rest. The coefficient of static friction at A and B is 0.5.arrow_forwardIn about 1915, Henry Sincosky of Philadelphia suspended himself from a rafter by gripping the rafter with the thumb of each hand on one side and the fingers on the other side (see the figure). Sincosky's mass was 79.0 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between hand and rafter was 0.720, what was the least magnitude of the normal force on the rafter from each thumb or opposite fingers?arrow_forward
