The drawing shows Robin Hood (mass = 77.0 kg) about to escape from a dangerous situation. With one hand, he is gripping the rope that holds up a chandelier (mass = 195 kg). When he cuts the rope where it is tied to the floor, the chandelier will fall, and he will b. pulled up toward a balcony above. Ignore the friction between the rope and the beams over which it slides, and find (a) the acceleration with which Robin is pulled upward and (b) the tension in the rope while Robin escapes

A light rope is attached to a block with mass 4.00 kg that restson a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope passes overa frictionless, massless pulley, and a block with mass m is suspendedfrom the other end. When the blocks are released, the tension in therope is 15.0 N. How does the tension compare to the weight of the hanging block?

A 1500 kg rocket is tobe launched with an initial upwardspeed of 50.0 m/s. In order to assistits engines, the engineers will startit from rest on a ramp that rises 53°above the horizontal (Fig.).At the bottom, the ramp turnsupward and launches the rocketvertically. The engines provide aconstant forward thrust of 2000 N,and friction with the ramp surfaceis a constant 500 N. How far fromthe base of the ramp should therocket start, as measured along the surface of the ramp?
0.6 m At Grattan Raceway there is a sharp hill known as the "Jump."Ifyou go about 39 m/s (87 mi/hr), your tires will just lose contact with the road. The instantaneous ra dius of curvature ofthe hill is e, and the center of mass is 0.6 mabove the road surface. a) Considering the vehicle as a particle, and assumingno aerodynamic forces, draw a free-body diagram for the vehicle when it is exactly at the top of the hill.
