Homework Statement
Demonstrate using free body diagrams and equations that, using the same force, a heavier load can be lifted with a rope and pulley system than with a rope alone.
2. The attempt at a solution
To lift something off the ground without a pulley, the applied force must be...
On the back of the page, the question additionally asks for the third resonant length.
The textbook provides answers for a, b, and c as 143Hz, 430Hz, and 770Hz respectively. When I reversed the calculations for c), they used a third resonant length of 60.0cm, which was the length of the...

Homework Statement
Calculate the velocity a 1.0g raindrop would reach if it fell from a height of 1.0km. You may ignore all forces of friction.
Homework Equations
Fg = mg, where g = 9.81 m/s^2
W = Fparallel x d
The Attempt at a Solution
I used Fg = mg to find that Fg = 0.00981 N...
The line of best fit is a straight line. The equation of the line of best fit, calculated using linear regression, is y = 2.42x + 0.21. The slope from graphing the data is 2.5kg.
Homework Statement
1. Compare the mass of the system to the slope. Does your data support Newton's Second Law?
2. Using the words "directly" or "indirectly" briefly explain how force, mass, and acceleration are related to each other, making specific references to the parts of the...
