P 7 ww Yarrow_forwardA laborer wants to move crates containing bottles of olive oil from a truck to the ground by sliding them along a ramp. The ramp is 6 m long and is at an angle of 25°. There is friction on the ramp for the first crate. The laborer doesn’t know that there is a small leak in one of the bottles. The leak leaves a layer of oil on the ramp. The oil creates a frictionless surface for the second crate Wayne sends down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the speed of the second crate (without friction) is 2.5 the speed of the first crate (with friction). Find the coefficient of kinetic friction. Hint: this is a multistep problem that is be solved using only energy equations. Do not use kinematics . Use conservation of energy and start with the frictionless case.arrow_forward30 ft _6 ft- 5 ft B ft The boy pulls on the rope with a force of 80 lb.arrow_forward

His initial velocity is 0 m/s.arrow_forwardA desperate hiker has to think fast to help his friend who has fallen below him. Quickly, he ties a rope to a rock of mass ma and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure). If the coefficient of maximum static friction between the rock and the ground is µ, and the mass of the hiker is mâ, what is the maximum mass of the friend, mc, that the rock can hold so the hikers can then make their way up over the ledge? Assume the rope is parallel to the ground and the point where the rope passes over the ledge is frictionless. mc = Juarrow_forward
- Determine the magnitude of the force exerted by cracker (a) on the nut. Determine the magnitude of the force exerted by cracker (b) on the nut.arrow_forwardAn inventive child named Nick wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (see figure below), Nick pulls on the loose end of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 310 N. Nick's true weight is 280 N, and the chair weighs 160 N. Nick's feet are not touching the ground. Use g=9.8 m/s?. (b) Find Nick's acceleration, using upward as positive. m/s2 (c) Find the magnitude of force Nick exerts on the chair. (d*) Instead Nick hands the rope with the scale to his friend Barney, who stands on the ground. Barney pulls on the rope so that the spring scale again reads 310 N. What is Nick's acceleration now, again using upward as positive. m/s²arrow_forwardThe slope of the 7.9 kN force F is specified as shown in the figure. Express F as a vector in terms of the unit vectors i and j. Assume a = 11, b = 5. Answer: F = (i a b -x i+ MI j) kNarrow_forward
- 1. Nailed it! You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 25⁰. You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is at the edge of the roof directly below you, 5.0 meters away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.5 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is μ = 0.55, what initial speed should you give the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof next to Peter?
