    Calculating Dimensions of a Cylindrical Container with Given Volume

    The question reads, "Find the dimensions of a cylindrical tennis ball container which has the volume of V(x)=8πx3+17πx2+10πx+π such that the volume is exactly 825π cm3. Hint: V = πr2h." To start off, I set V(x)=825π and moved it to the right side, giving 0 = 8πx3+17πx2+10πx-824π. Factoring...

    Calculating mass given maximum tension of a rope

    I will try to do what you said ∑F = Fg + Ft = ma And Fg = mg so (mg) + Ft = ma m (-1.6 m/s^2) - 85 N = m (2 m/s^2) -1.6 m - 85 = 2 m m = 23.611111111 kg -> 24 kg how does that look?

    Calculating mass given maximum tension of a rope

    Oh sorry. In the downward direction there is Fg and Ft. By what logic do you add these accelerations? Is it accelerating at rate a faster than gravity? Hm, I guess I added them because they were in two different directions (the lifting of the string was upward and the gravity as downward, but...

    Calculating mass given maximum tension of a rope

    If a string can handle a max tension of 85 N what is the largest mass that could be lifted with this string if it is lifted with an acceleration of 2.0 m/s^2 up on the moon? Let up be positive in value. Ft = - 85 N, a = 2.0 m/s^2, Fg = -1.6 m/s^2 Homework Equations F = ma -> Fg = mg -> Ft =...

    Why are astronauts placed horizontally when taking off?

    It because of the tremendous force they COULD face if taken off vertically? Is this is due to inertia (resistance to change motion)?
