29. Find the tension in an elevator cable if the 1 000-kg elevator is descending with an acceleration of 1.8 m/s2, downward.
(8 000 N)
12. A 5 000-N weight is suspended in equilibrium by two cables. Cable 1 applies a horizontal force to the right of the object and has a tension, T1. Cable 2 applies a force upward and to the left at an angle of 37.0 to the negative x axis and has a tension, T2. Find T2.
(8 310 N)
1.An inventor develops a stationary cycling device by which an individual, while pedaling, can convert all of the energy expended into heat for warming water. How much mechanical energy is required to increase the temperature of 300 g of water (enough for 1 cup of coffee) from 20C to 95C? (1 cal = 4.186 J, the specific heat of water is 4 186 J/kgC)
(94 000 J)
8. A baseball thrown from the outfield is released from shoulder height at an initial velocity of 29.4 m/s at an initial angle of 30.0 with respect to the horizontal. If it is in its trajectory for a total of 3.00 s before being caught by the third baseman, what is the ball's net vertical displacement during its 3-s trajectory?
(zero)
