The sides of a cone make an angle <j> with the vertical. A small mass m is placed on the inside of the cone and the cone, with its point down, is revolved at a frequency / (revolutions per second) about its symmetry axis. If the coefficient of static friction is /xs, at what positions on the cone can the mass be placed without sliding on the cone? (Give the maximum and minimum distances, r, from the axis).

A 72-kg water skier is being accelerated by a ski boat on a flat (glassy) lake. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skiers skis and the water surface is = 0-25 (Fig. 5-55). (a) What is the skiers acceleration if the rope pulling the skier behind the boat applies a horizontal tension force of magnitude FT = 240 N to the skier (0 = 0)? (b) What is the skiers horizontal acceleration if the rope pulling the skier exerts a force of FT = 240 N on the skier at an upward angle 6 = 12? (c) Explain why the skiers acceleration in part (b) is greater than that in part (a). FIGURE 5-55 Problem 99.

A ball of mass m = 1.0 kg at the end of a thin cord of length r = 0.80 m revolves in a vertical circle about point O, as shown in Fig. 5-56. During the time we observe it, the only forces acting on the ball are gravity and the tension in the cord. The motion is circular but not uniform because of the force of gravity. The ball increases in speed as it descends and decelerates as it rises on the other side of the circle. At the moment the cord makes an angle 0 = 30 below the horizontal, the balls .___ speed is 6.0 m/s. At this point, determine the tangential acceleration, the radial acceleration, and the tension in the cord, FT. Take 0 increasing downward as shown. FIGURE 5-56 Problem 100.

A car drives at a constant speed around a banked circular track with a diameter of 127 m. The motion of the car can be described in a coordinate system with its origin at the center of the circle. At a particular instant the cars acceleration in the horizontal plane is given by a = (15.71 23.2j) m/s2. (a) What is the cars speed? (b) Where (* and y ) is the car at this instant?

(Ill) The force of air resistance (drag force) on a rapidly falling body such as a skydiver has the form FD = kv2, so that Newtons second law applied to such an object is m dv = mg ki v2, dt where the downward direction is taken to be positive. (a) Use numerical integration [Section 2-9] to estimate (within 2%) the position, speed, and acceleraton, from t = 0 up to t = 15.0 s, for a 75-kg skydiver who starts from rest, assuming k = 0.22 kg/m. (ft) Show that the diver eventually reaches a steady speed, the terminal speed, and explain why this happens, (c) How long does it take for the skydiver to reach 99.5% of the terminal speed?.

(Ill) The coefficient of kinetic friction between two surfaces is not strictly independent of the velocity of the object. A possible expression for for wood on wood is 0.20 (1 + 0.0020'y2) where v is in m/s. A wooden block of mass 8.0 kg is at rest on a wooden floor, and a constant horizontal force of 41 N acts on the block. Use numerical integration [Section 2-9] to determine and graph (a) the speed of the block, and (b) its position, as a function of time from 0 to 5.0 s. (c) Determine the percent difference for the speed and position at 5.0 s if /% is constant and equal to 0.20.

(Ill) Assume a net force F = -m g - kv2 acts during the upward vertical motion of a 250-kg rocket, starting at the moment (t = 0) when the fuel has burned out and the rocket has an upward speed of 120 m/s. Let k = 0.65 kg/m. Estimate v and y at 1.0-s intervals for the upward motion only, and estimate the maximum height reached. Compare to free-flight conditions without air resistance (k = 0).
