A skier is standing motionless on a horizontal patch of snow. She is holding onto a horizontal tow rope, which is about to pull her forward (see Figure below). The skier's mass is 59 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between the skis and snow is 0.14. (a) Draw the free-body diagram of the skier (b) What is the magnitude of the maximum force that the tow rope can apply to the skier without causing her to move?

A woman at an airport is towing her 20.0 kg suitcase at constant speed by pulling on a strap at an angle of 30∘ above the horizontal. The friction coefficient between the wheels of the suitcase and the floor is 0.5 and the woman pulls on the strap with a 35.0 N force. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of the suitcase (b) What is the magnitude of the normal force that the ground exerts on the suitcase? Hint: Use Newton's Second Law and decompose forces. (c) What is the friction force acting on the suitcase?

In a judo foot-sweep move, you sweep your opponent's left foot out from under him while pulling on his gi (uniform) toward that side. As a result, your opponent rotates around his right foot and onto the mat. The figure shows a simplified diagram of your opponent as you face him, with his left foot swept out. The rotational axis is through point O. The gravitational force F→g on him effectively acts at his center of mass, which is a horizontal distance d = 25 cm from point O. His mass is 84 kg, and his rotational inertia about point O is 65 kg⋅m2. What is the magnitude of his initial angular acceleration about point O if your pull F→a on his gi is (a) negligible and (b) horizontal with a magnitude of 300 N and applied at height h = 1.4 m? Assume free-fall acceleration to be equal to 9.81 m/s2. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

3.82 kg water skier is being accelerated by a ski boat on a flat ("glassy") lake. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier's skis and the water surface is μk = 0.34. (a) What is the skier's acceleration if the rope pulling the skier behind the boat applies a horizontal tension force of magnitude FT = 340 N to the skier (θ = 0∘)? (b) What is the skier's horizontal acceleration if the rope pulling the skier exerts a force of FT = 340 N on the skier at an upward angle θ = 14.5∘?
