Complete question is;

You push downward on a trunk at an angle 25° below the horizontal with a force of 750N. if the trunk is on a flat surface and the coefficient of static friction between the surface and the trunk is 0.61, what is the most massive trunk you will be able to move?

Answer:

The most massive trunk is about 81.3 kg

Explanation:

I've attached a free body diagram that depicts this question.

Where;

N = normal force on the trunk

m = mass of the trunk

W = weight of the trunk = mg

F = static frictional force

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction, we obtain;

N = W + 750 Sin25

N = mg + 750 Sin25    - - - - (eq 1)

Now, we are given that Coefficient of static friction: μ = 0.61

static frictional force is given by the formula;

F = μN

Since N = mg + 750 Sin25, we now have;

F = (0.61) (mg + 750 Sin25)   - - - (eq 2)

Along the horizontal direction, for the trunk to move, force equation must be;

F = 750 Cos25

Thus, we now have;

750 Cos25 = 0.61(mg + 750 Sin25)

g = 9.81.

So,we now have ;

750 Cos25 = 0.61(m(9.81) + 750Sin25)

750 × 0.9063 = 0.61(9.81m + (750 × 0.4226))

Divide both sides by 0.61;

(750 × 0.9063)/0.61 = 9.81m + 316.95

1114.3 = 9.81m + 316.95

1114.3 - 316.95 = 9.81m

797.35 = 9.81m

m = 797.35/9.81

m = 81.3 kg

Describe how work is done by a skater pulling in her arms during a spin. In particular, identify the force she exerts on each ar
liberstina [14]

Answer:

 ∑ τ =0,  L₀ = L_{f}

Explanation:

In a circular turning movement, when the arms are extended and then contracted in two possibilities:

- They are lowered the force of gravity is what pulls them, the tension of the muscle becomes zero to allow this movement.

    In this movement the force is vertical(gravity) and the movement of the center of mass of each arm is vertical, so that the work is the weight value of the arm by the distance traveled by the center of mass.

- Another possibility is that the arms have stuck to the body, in this case the person's muscles perform the force, this force is horizontal and the displacement is the horizontal of the center of mass of the arms from the extended position to the contracted

 

In these movements the torque of the external force is equal for each arm, but in the opposite direction, so they are canceled where a net torque of zero, this causes the angular momentum to be preserved, which changes is the moment of inertia of the system and therefore you must also change the angular velocity to keep your product constant

          ∑ τ =0

                L₀ = L_{f}

              I₀ w₀ = I w
