The physics associated with statics has considerable applications in engineering. As a mechanical engineer working for a tow-truck manufacturer, you have been asked to evaluate the purchase of a new line of towing cable. The supplier claims that, although its cables are not as strong as its competitors (maximum tension capability of 9110 lb), the cost savings make it a good investment. A schematic of the towing configuration is shown. The car weighs 6479 lb, which is as large as the company expects their tow trucks to service. The overall length L of the car is 10.1 ft, and the distance d between the midpoints of the front and back tires is 9.09 ft. The bottom of the car's frame is a height hf = 0.370 above the ground, and the car's center of mass is a height hCM = 1.50 above the bottom of the car's frame. The angle ϕ between the midpoint of the tires and the tow cable is 50.0∘. Assume the CM of the car is positioned exactly halfway across its length, the geometry of the wheels and front/rear of the car is symmetrical, and that the coefficient of friction between the road and tires is sufficient to maintain no acceleration in the system. Calculate the tension T in the cable just as the front of the car begins to lift off the ground. Assume that the front end rises at a constant velocity. T = lb Based on your results, what would you advise your company? The cable they are offering is more than adequate. The cost savings make this a worthwhile investment. The cable they are offering is too weak to use. I would decline the purchase.

A car with mass of 1500 kg is traveling at 80 km/h. The brakes are fully applied at this moment, resulting in wheel skidding. The road conditions are for two scenarios: (a) on dry pavement with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.8; and (b) on icy road with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.1. Assume gravity g = 9.81 m/s2. Show all work. a) Draw the appropriate free body and kinetic diagram(s).

A block of weight W = 200 N on an incline of 20∘ with respect to the horizontal direction is subjected to a constant force P that is inclined by an angle of 30∘ with respect to the horizontal direction, as shown in Figure 3. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and the incline are μs = 0.30 and μk = 0.20, respectively. a) Draw a free body diagram of the block and find the maximum force P = Pmax that can be applied before the block starts to slide up the incline. Find the normal force N exerted by the incline on the block when P = Pmax . b) For a force P = 500 N, draw a free body diagram of the block and find its (constant) acceleration a up the incline. c) If the block starts from rest at time t = 0 when the force P = 500 N is first applied to the block, find the speed v = v(t) of block and the distance s = s(t) it travels up the incline at any time t.
