- A 83.57 kg person jumps on the ground from a height of 1.95 m. If he lands stiffly (with his knee joints compressing by 0.500 cm). Calculate the force on the knee joint.arrow_forward*13–48. The smooth block B of negligible size has a mass m and rests on the horizontal plane. If the board AC pushes on the block at an angle 0 with a constant acceleration ao. determine the velocity of the block along the board and the distance s the block moves along the board as a function of time t. The block starts from rest when s = 0, 1 = 0.arrow_forwardTwo blocks, with masses m and 3m, are attached to the ends of a string with negligible mass that passes over a pulley, as shown above. The pulley has negligible mass and friction and is attached to the ceiling by a bracket.The blocks are simultaneously released from rest. Derive an equation for the speed v of the block of mass 3m after it falls a distance d in terms of m, d, and physical constants, as appropriate.arrow_forward
- A wooden box with a mass of 50kg reaches v = 4m/s after translating to the right by five meters. Assuming μk = 0.3, calculate for the force P which accelerates the box.arrow_forward(B) A maintenance man (climber) tries to maintain one of the power stations located at thetop of the mountain in the situation of winter. During his work and by mistake drops hiswater bottle which then slides 100 M down the side of a steep icy slope to a point which is10 m lower than the climber's position. The mass of the climber is 60 kg and his water bottlehas a mass of 500 g.1) If the bottle starts from rest, how fast is it travelling by the time it reaches the bottomof the slope? (Neglect friction.)What is the total change in the climber's potential energy as she climbs down the mountainto fetch her fallen water bottle? i.e. what is the difference between her potential energy atthe top of the slope and the bottom of the slope? Analysis all the above situation.arrow_forwardMass A is 40 kg and mass B is 10 kg. The angle that the inclined plane makes with the horizontal is 30 degrees. Using conservation of energy, find the velocities of bodies A and B when body A moves 3 meters down the inclined plane, ignoring friction and pulley masses, and when bodies A and B start to move from a standstill.arrow_forward
