The carnival ride from Prob. 12.51 is modified so that the 80-kg riders can move up and down the inclined wall as the speed of the ride increases. Assuming that the friction between the wall and the carriage is negligible, determine the position h of the rider if the speed v0 = 13 m/s.

Neglecting the masses of the pulleys and the effect of friction in the pulleys and assuming that the coefficients of friction between block A and the horizontal surface are μs = 0.25 and μk = 0.20, determine (a) the velocity of block B after block A has moved 2 m, (b) the tension in the cable.arrow_forwardPROBLEM 12.24 An airplane has a mass of 25 Mg and its engines develop a total thrust of 40 kN during take-off. If the drag D exerted on the plane has a magnitude D=2.25v², where v is expressed in meters per second and D in newtons, and if the plane becomes airborne at a speed of 240 km/h, determine the length of runway required for the plane to take off.arrow_forwardPROBLEM 12.10 A mother and her child are skiing together, and the mother is holding the end of a rope tied to the child's waist. They are moving at a speed of 7.2 km/h on a gently sloping portion of the ski slope when the mother observes that they are approaching a steep descent. She pulls on the rope with an average force of 7 N. Knowing the coefficient of friction between the child and the ground is 0.1 and the angle of the rope does not change, determine (a) the time required for the child's speed to be cut in half, (b) the distance traveled in this time.arrow_forward
- A slowly moving conveyor belt passes through a small opening in a wall which is high enough to accommodate a single package, but a reckless worker stacks two packages on the belt. The one at the bottom, package 1 which has mass m1m1, continues, without slipping against the belt, through the opening. (The belt continues without slowing.) The one on the the top, package 2 with mass m2m2, presses firmly against the wall and slips across the lower package. The same coefficients of friction, μsμs and μkμk, apply between the pair of packages and between the package and the belt. Weights, if required, will be denoted with the corresponding subscript of the package as F⃗ g,iF→g,i, for i=1,2i=1,2. The normal force exerted by object aa on object bb, if required, will be denoted as F⃗ n,a→bF→n,a→b for a,b∈{1,2,belt,wall}a,b∈{1,2,belt,wall}, but a≠ba≠b.

Two bodies of weight 40 N and 20 N are connected to the two ends of a light inextensible string, passing over a smooth pulley.
