A gymnast of mass 63.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t

hat the rope does not stretch. Use the value 9.81m/s2 for the acceleration of gravity.
A)Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope.Express your answer in newtons.
B)Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate.Express your answer in newtons.
C)Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2 .Express your answer in newtons.
D)Calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2 .Express your answer in newtons

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) When gymnast is motionless , he is in equilibrium

T = mg

= 63 x 9.81

= 618.03 N

B )

When gymnast climbs up at a constant rate , he is still in equilibrium ie net force acting on it is zero as acceleration is zero.

T = mg

= 618.03 N

C ) If the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force on it = T - mg   , acting in upward direction

T - mg = m a

T =  mg + m a

= m ( g + a )

= 63 ( 9.81 + .6)

= 655.83 N

D )  If the gymnast slides down the rope with a downward acceleration of magnitude 0.600 m/s2

Net force acting in downward direction

mg - T = ma

T = m ( g - a )

= 63 x ( 9.81 - .6 )

= 580.23 N

Small robots that can move around on the surface of a planet are called space shuttles.
Luden [163]

No.  "Shuttle" has been pretty much used to indicate shuttling
between Earth and Earth-orbit. 

The devices that have tooled around on the surface of Mars
have been referred to as "rovers".  That was also the nickname
of the buggy on which the Apollo astronauts moved around on
the Moon in the early 1970s ... the "lunar rover".

The tongue weight of a trailer should be what percent of the gross trailer weight rating
mario62 [17]

Answer:

between 10 and 15 percent

Explanation:

How to put your load

- First load the heavy

The safe trailer starts loading correctly. Uneven weight can affect steering, brakes and swing control.

In general, 60% of the weight of the load should be in the front half of the trailer and 40% in the rear half (unless the manufacturer indicates something different). When you place the load, you want it to be balanced from side to side, keeping the center of gravity near the ground and on the axle of the trailer.

-  Hold your load

After balancing the load, you must hold it in place. An untapped load can move when the vehicle is moving and cause trailer instability.

- Trailer weight

To avoid overloading the trailer, look for the recommended weight rating. It is located on the VIN plate in the trailer chassis, usually on the tongue. Confirm the Gross Vehicle Weight Classification (GVWR) before towing.

GVWR: is the total weight that the trailer can support, including its weight. You can also find this number as the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW). The weight of the tongue should be 10-15% of the GTW.
