The skier shown in figure 5d below has a mass of 75 kg. If the slope is at 12∘ to the horizontal, (i) What force down the slope is he exerting? (ii) What would his acceleration down the slope be? If the kinetic coefficient of friction is 0.08 , what angle of slope would you recommend for a beginners slope so that they ski at a constant velocity rather than accelerating.

A 1,440-N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force F→ of 200 N at an angle of 20.0∘ below the horizontal, as shown in the figure a below. a b (i) (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? (Enter your answer to at least three decimal places.) (b) If the 200−N force is instead pulling the block at an angle of 20.0∘ above the horizontal, as shown in the figure b, what will be the acceleration of the crate? Assume that the coefficient of friction is the same as that found in part (a). m/s2

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.
