How Much Force Do Arms Exert During a Chin-up Acceleration Phase?

AI Thread Summary
A body weighing 770 N is raised approximately 30 cm in one second during the acceleration phase of a chin-up. Half of this time is spent accelerating, and the other half is spent decelerating uniformly. To determine the force exerted by the arms during the acceleration phase, one must first calculate the acceleration using kinematic equations. A free body diagram can assist in visualizing the forces involved. Understanding the acceleration is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

It first states that a body below the arms is raised at approx. 30 cm in a time of 1 second. It then specifically states that a body of 770 N is raised this distance and that half the 1 second is spent accelerating and the other half is spet decelerating, uniformly in both cases. The question is "Find the force his arms must exert on him during the accelerating part of the chin-up."? Does anyone know how I'd go about setting up for this problem? I tried making a free body diagram and don't really know where to go from here. HELP!

Start by figuring out the acceleration using your knowledge of kinematics. (Hint: Use the distance and time to find the acceleration.)
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
