The platform P, shown in Fig. 14-12a, has negligible mass and is tied down so that the 0.4-m-long cords keep a 1-m- long spring compressed 0.6 m when nothing is on the platform. If a 2-kg block is placed on the platform and released from rest after the platform is pushed down 0.1 m, Fig. 14-12b, determine the maximum heighth the block rises in the air, measured from the ground.

The weight of the cylindrical tank is negligible in comparison to the weight of water it contains (water weighs 62.4lb/ft3). The coefficient of static friction between the tank and the horizontal surface is s. (a) Assuming a full tank, find the smallest force P required to tip the tank, and the smallest s that would allow tipping to take place. (b) If the force P = 200 lb initiates tipping, determine the depth of water in the tank.
The platform P, shown in Fig. has negligible mass and is tied down so that the 0.4 m long cords keep a 1m long spring compressed 0.6 m when nothing is on the platform. If a 2-kg block is placed on the platform and released from rest after the platform is pushed down 0.1 m, determine the maximum height h the block rises in the air, measured from the ground.

To get up on the roof, a person (mass 85.0 kg) places a 6.20 m aluminum ladder (mass 15.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The top of the ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2.00 m from the base, as measured along the ladder. The person is standing on the ladder 3.00 m from the base, as measured along the ladder. Find the normal reaction and friction forces (in N) on the ladder at its base. (Enter the magnitudes.)
A bucket hangs off the end of a rod rigidly attached to a pulley. A spring acts as a counterbalance. The spring has a spring constant of 250 N/m. The bucket has a mass of 2 kg. When the angle a is 0°, the spring is unstretched. What is the volume of water (in liters) that must be put in the bucket in order to for the rod AB to be horizontal? What are the reactions at pin A in that case? Note that the density of water is 1000 kg/m³. B. .75 m .3 m A
Block A is 30kg And Block B is 20 kg
Your engineering firm is asked to specify the maximum load for theelevators in a new building. Each elevator has a mass 490 kg when empty and maximumacceleration 2.24 m/s2. The elevator cables can withstand a maximum tension of 19.5 kN beforebreaking. For safety, you need to ensure that the tension never exceeds two-thirds of that value.What is the maximum load that the elevator can safely carry? How many70-kg people is that?Briefly but clearly explain the reasoning for your choice of the sign of the acceleration.

Three identical steel balls, each of mass m=80kg, are placed in the cylindrical ring which rests on a horizontal surface and whose height is slightly greater than the radius of the balls. The diameter of the ring is such that the balls are virtually touching one another. A fourth identical ball is then placed on top of the three balls. Determine the force P (in N, roundoff to 2 decimal places exerted by the ring on each of the three lower balls.
If the maximum length of the spring is 40 cm, what average friction force opposes the motion of the mass?
A 6-m long ladder has a mass of 13 kg., and its center of gravity is 2.4 m from the bottom along the ladder. The ladder is resting on a 5° upward sloping floor at A and on a wall inclined to the right at 5° from the vertical at B, so that it makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal. How far up along the ladder can a 78-kg man climb before the ladder is on the verge of slipping? The angle of friction at all contact surfaces is 15°. Also determine the total reaction at A and B in Newton. Note: Point A is at the left of point B.
