Ropes 3m and 5m in length are fastened to a holiday decoration that is suspended over a town square. The declaration has a mass of 5kg. The ropes, fastened at different heights, make angles of 52 degrees and 40 degrees with the horizontal. Find the tension in each wire and the magnitude of each tension.
A 1.0 kg ball and a 2.0 kg ball are connected by a 1.0-m-long rigid, massless rod. The rod is rotating cw about its center of mass at 20 rpm. What torque will bring the balls to a halt in 5.0 s? Answer in Nm.
An 80.0-kg skydiver jumps out of a balloon at an altitude of1000 m and opens the parachute at an altitude of 200 m. (a) Assuming that the total retarding force on the diver is constant at 50.0 N with the parachute closed and constant at 3600 N with the parachute open, what is the speed of the diver whenhe lands on the ground? (b) Do you think the skydiver will be injured? Explain. (c) At what height should the parachute be opened so that the final speed of the skydiver when he hits the ground is 5.00m/s? (d) How realistic is the assumption that the total retarding force is constant? Explain.
