Answer:
A
Explanation:
The line(A) goes throughout the entire picture. So therefore choice A would be it's length.
Answer:
The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is 16.33 m/s²
Explanation:
The additional information to the question is embedded in the diagram attached below:
The height between the dragster and ground is considered to be 0.35 m since is not given ; thus in addition win 0.75 m between the dragster and the parachute; we have: (0.75 + 0.35) m = 1.1 m
Balancing the equilibrium about point A;
F(1.1) - mg (1.25) = 
- 1200(9.8)(1.25) = 1200a(0.35)
- 14700 = 420 a ------- equation (1)
--------- equation (2)
Replacing equation 2 into equation 1 ; we have :

1320 a - 14700 = 420 a
1320 a - 420 a =14700
900 a = 14700
a = 14700/900
a = 16.33 m/s²
The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is 16.33 m/s²
V = [4/3]π r^3 => [dV / dr ] = 4π r^2
[dV/dt] = [dV/dr] * [dr/dt]
[dV/dt] = [4π r^2] * [ dr/ dt]
r = 60 mm, [dr / dt] = 4 mm/s
[dV / dt ] = [4π(60mm)^2] * 4mm/s = 180,955.7 mm/s
Question 2 is because the passengers have inertia, which is a tendency to resist change in motion
