(a) What was the average force exerted by the target on the arrow? (b) If the mass of the arrow is doubled, and the force exerted by the target on the arrow remains the same, by what multiplicative factor does the penetration depth change? Explain.

- The owner of a company that manufactures drinking cups decides it would be impressive to build an inground swimming pool that is a scaled up version of her best selling cup. For this particular cup, the area of the circular opening at the top is 1.24 times the area of the circular bottom. Her pool contractor informs her that when the pool is full of water, the magnitude of the force acting on the top surface will be the same as the magnitude of the force acting on the bottom surface. Determine the depth of the pool. marrow_forwardThe plunger of a syringe has an internal diameter of 1.0 cm and the end of the needle has an internal diameter of 0.30 mm. A practitioner squeezes across the plunger very lightly, but no serum is emitted by the needle into a vein. So the practitioner gradually increases the force that she exerts across the plunger and eventually serum begins to be emitted from the needle into the vein. Assuming no friction, what is the minimum net force that the practitioner applies across the plunger in order that serum begins to be emitted from the needle into the vein? Take the pressure of blood in the vein to be 20 mmHg above that of atmospheric pressure. 3.3 N 1.2N 0.21N 0.70 N 1.4 N O 23 Narrow_forwardX: Mass of crate: 100 kg μk: 0.25 Determine the maximum compression, x. k = 2 kN/m 10 m www 45° - 1 attachment Bekarrow_forward
