In Section 9.8, we discussed the path of an object that is dropped from a very tall stepladder above the equator. (a) Sketch this path as seen from a tower to the north of the drop and fixed to the earth. Explain why the object lands to the east of its point of release. (b) Sketch the same experiment

A graduated cylinder is filled to the 40.00-mL mark with a mineral oil. The masses of the cylinder before and after the addition of the mineral oil are 124.966 g and 159.446 g, respectively. In a separate experiment, a metal ball bearing of mass 18.713 g is placed in the cylinder and the cylinder is

A hungry bear weighing 700 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam (Fig. P8.22). The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 6.00 m long, and it is supported by a wire at an angle of u 5 60.0. The basket weighs 80.0 N. (a) Draw a force diagram
