    Help With Pulley System: Calculating Angle Theta for Upper Rope

    I need help with this question (the picture is attached): A foot, mass of 4 kg, is suspended by a pulley system. The net traction force needs to pull straight out on the leg. What is the proper angle theta for the upper rope? I know that the system is frictionless so the tension in the...

    Solving a Spool Problem: Length of Unwound Rope & Distance of CM Movement

    Here is another one of these spool problems: A large spool of rope stands on the ground with the end of the rope lying on the top edge of the spool. A person grabs the end of the rope and walks a distance L, holding onto it. The spool rolls behind the person without slipping. (a) What length of...

    Time for rope to stop a person in freefall

    How long does it take typical inelastic rope to stop a person in freefall? I'm taking a gun-safety course and the instructor claims that for a 200lb person falling 1 meter out of a tree stand before their safety harness halts their fall, it applies a force of 1700 pounds to the body. I feel...

    Solving the Transverse Wave on a Rope: Tension and Force

    The transverse displacement of an harmonic wave on a stretched rope is y = 0.04 cos(2.5 t - 3.3 x), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. A 5 meter length of this rope has a mass of 1.5 kg. a) What is the tension in the rope? b) At time t = 0, consider a 1/2 wavelength long...

    Solving Problem 14-54: Force on Box - Rope Tension

    http://abs-5.me.washington.edu/me230/hw_solut.pdf Could someone please look at this website. Specifically problem 14-54. Why is a force on the box 3F? I don't understand why it is 3F. I only see two ropes going from the box.

    How Do You Calculate the Lifting Force on a Block?

    This is the first time I've posted here. I am having a problem with an assigned problem. I know the policy here is to not give out answers, and I'm not looking for that. I just need a starting point. Here's the problem: A 5.00 kg block is pulled along a horizontal frictionless floor by a...

    How Much Force is Needed to Move a Box with a Rope at an Angle?

    Okay, a box of mass m is dragged across a floor by pulling a rope attached to the box and inclined at an angle @ above the horizontal. given that the coefficient of static friction is 0.05, what minimum force mag is required from the rope to start the crate moving? When it says it is...

    How High Was the Girl When She Released the Rope?

    Q)On a hot summer day a young girl swings on a rope above the local swimming hole (Figure 4-20). When she let's go of the rope her initial velocity is 2.05 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. If she is in flight for 1.60 s, how high above the water was she when she let go of the rope...
