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 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
