Homework Statement Two blocks are connected by a string, as shown in the figure . The smooth inclined surface makes an angle of 35degrees with the horizontal, and the block on the incline has a mass of 5.7kg. The mass of the hanging block is m = 2.8 kg. Find the magnitude of the hanging...

thank you SOOOO much...i'm such an idiot! -_-

I'm sorry I still do not understand how to go about setting up the equation...I tried going over examples in my book for this type of circular motion but there does not seem to be any so I am beyond confused...I know that once I figure it out I will feel completely stupid but for now, I am just...

Homework Statement Jill of the Jungle swings on a vine 6.6 m long. What is the tension in the vine if Jill, whose mass is 61 kg, is moving at 2.6 m/s when the vine is vertical? Homework Equations F=mv^2/rThe Attempt at a Solution F=(61)(2.6^2)/6.6

Homework Statement A 51.0kg person takes a nap in a backyard hammock. Both ropes supporting the hammock are at an angle of 19.0 above the horizontal. Find the tension in the ropes. Homework Equations ty=tsin/theta wy=-mg possibly? The Attempt at a Solution...

i figured out the acceleration...2.4 m/s^2 but i don't know how to answer this part...What, if anything, can you say about the velocity of the elevator? Explain.

jeez -_- that was so easy LOL thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction...i have laryngitis so my mind isn't exactly functioning correctly =)

Homework Statement As part of a physics experiment, you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Though your normal weight is 610 N, the scale at the moment reads 760 N. Calculate the magnitude of the elevator's acceleration. What, if anything, can you say about the velocity of the elevator...
