Chapter 5, Problem 78PP
A spiral is an ice-skating position in which the skater glides on one foot with the other foot held above hip level. It’s a required element in women’s singles figure skating competition and is related to the arabesque performed in ballet. Figure 5.40 shows skater Sarah Hughes executing a spiral during her gold-medal performance at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
The net force on the skater
- a. points to her left.
- b. points to her right.
- c. is zero.

Three ropes pull on a knot that holds them together. Rope 1 exerts 20 N force in the positive xdirection and rope 2 pulls with a 40 N force at an angle 53 degrees above the negative x axis. Rope 3 pulls with a force that balances the first two so that the net force on the knot is zero. Find the magnitude and direction of F3.
In the figure m = 2.0 kg. F = 10.0 N, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.20. What is the friction force between the block and the surface?

- Why is the following situation impossible? A 1.30-kg toaster is not plugged in. The coefficient of static friction between the toaster and a horizontal countertop is 0.350. To make the toaster start moving, you carelessly pull on its electric cord. Unfortunately, the cord has become frayed from your previous similar actions and will break if the tension in the cord exceeds 4.00 N. By pulling on the cord at a particular angle, you successfully start the toaster moving without breaking the cord.arrow_forwardAn automobile is going up a grade of 15 with an initial velocity of 30 m/s.
