- In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot to one side or the other. Two students pull with force 196 N each to the light, four students pull with force 98 N each to the left, five students pull with force 62 N each to the left, three students pull with force 150 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 250 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the tight, express the net pull on the knot in terms of the unit vector. How big is the net pull on the knot?

A friend asks to borrow your precious diamond for a day to show to her family. You are a bit worried, so you carefully have your diamond weighed on a scale that reads 8.17 grams. The scale's accuracy is claimed to be ± 0.05 gram. The next day you weigh the returned diamond again, getting 8.09 grams. Is this your diamond? Prompt 3:1 agree to hire you for 30 days. You can decide between two methods of payment: either (1) Php 1000 a day, or (2) one peso on the first day, two pesos on the second day and continue to double your daily pay each day up to day 30. Use quick estimation to make your decision and justify it. Prompt 4: What are the merits and drawbacks of using a person's foot as a standard? Consider both (a) a particular person's foot, and (b) any person's foot. Keep in mind that it is advantageous that fundamental standards be accessible, invariable, indestructible, and reproducible.

David pulls with a force of 400.0 N and Stephanie pulls with a force of 300.0 N. (a) Find the component form of the net force. (b) Find the magnitude of the resultant (net) force on the tree and the angle it makes with David’s rope.arrow_forward
- As you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it. In the figure below, a forceF1of magnitude 6.40 units acts on a crate at the origin in a direction θ = 28.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the crate in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the resultant force F1 + F2. magnitude units direction° counterclockwise from the +x-axisarrow_forwardWhat is the mass in both (a) slugs and (b) kilograms of a 3390-lb car?

- Two men are pulling the barge as shown in the figure. The man on the lower side pulls it with a force of 58.17 N, at an angle of 34 degrees, while the man on the other side is pulling it at an angle of 45 degrees. The second man pulls the barge with a force of magnitude, F (in N). What should F be so that the net force on the barge is in the forward direction? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardA force F applied to an object of mass m, produces an acceleration of 3.60 m/s?. The same force applied to a second object of mass m, produces an acceleration of 2.00 m/s?. (a) What is the value of the ratio m,/m,? Be very careful in setting up ratios. Write down the relationships explicitly and do the algebra to obtain the proportionality. (b) If m, and m, are combined into one object, find its acceleration under the action of the force F. 1.29 m/s2arrow_forwardCalculate the mass (in SI units) of a 140 lblb human being.
