Chapter 6, Problem 3P
Force on a skater’s wrist. A 52 kg ice skater spins about a vertical axis through her body with her arms horizontally outstretched, making 2.0 turns each second. The distance from one hand to the other is 1.50 m. Biometric measurements indicate that each hand typically makes up about 1.25% of body weight. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of one of her hands. (b) What horizontal force must her wrist exert on her hand? (c) Express the force in part (b) as a multiple of the weight of her hand.

- A stone has a mass of 8.79 g and is wedged into the tread of an automobile tire, as the drawing shows. The coefficient of static friction between the stone and each side of the tread channel is 0.818. When the tire surface is rotating at 10.9m/s, the stone flies out the tread. The magnitude FN of the normal force that each side of the tread channel exerts on the stone is 2.46 N. Assume that only static friction supplies the centripetal force, and determines the radius r of the tire (in terms of m)arrow_forwardYou find it takes 190 N of horizontal force to move an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of 2.4 m/s . You then load up the pickup and pump up its tires so that its total weight increases by 42%while the coefficient of rolling friction decreases by 19%. Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air resistance..arrow_forwardThe distance between two telephone poles is d = 54.0 m.

(c) What is the numerical value of the magnitude, in meters per squared second, of the acceleration?arrow_forwardKinesiologists—scientists who study human motion—can measure the forces that act on runners as they round a curve. The forces on a runner’s feet are a vertical normal force that, on average, serves to counteract gravity, and a static friction force parallel to the ground and pointing toward the center of the runner’s circular path. The average value of this inward-pointing force is measured to be 600 N for a 75 kg runner rounding a curve that has a 2.5 m radius. What is this runner’s speed?arrow_forwardA manager walks d = 2.8 m along a uniform plank supported by the floor at one end and by a vertical rope at the other, as in the figure.

- A cow is pushing its baby from side of the farm to another. The floor of the farm is not frictionless. The baby has a mass of 3 kg and the cow is carefully pushing it at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s to ensure that it doesn't tip over. What is the net force acting on the baby?arrow_forwardThe physics of circular motion sets an upper limit to the speed of human walking. (If you need to go faster, your gait changes from a walk to a run.) If you take a few steps and watch what's happening, you'll see that your body pivots in circular motion over your forward foot as you bring your rear foot forward for the next step. As you do so, the normal force of the ground on your foot decreases and your body tries to "lift off" from the ground. A. A person's center of mass is very near the hips, at the top of the legs.
