    Homework Statement In a crash test, a truck with mass 2000 kg traveling at 23 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The front end crumples so much that the truck is 0.67 m shorter than before. Homework Equations About how long does the collision last? (That is, how long...

    Forces with Tension and pulleys

    And for the last part I am a little stumped. The additional force would be to the right, but I can not figure out how to actually show that.

    Forces with Tension and pulleys

    Homework Statement I had a set of old concrete steps, with a mass of about 2.5 metric tonnes (i.e., 2500 kg), which needed to be dragged across the yard. One way to make the job easier was to rig a block-and-tackle, which consisted of two pulleys. I used a thick rope to tie one pulley to the...
