An upward applied force of 10 lbf is applied to a body that has been dropped. Assume the usual value for acceleration due to gravity. If the object weighs 40 lbm, what is the vertical acceleration of the object in ft/s2 ? Draw a free body diagram and label your axes. ANSWER should be between ( 20-25 ft/s2)

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer : the acceleration of the body is virtically downward.

Solution:

As the body is dropped ,
Hence ,
Which is directed along axis i.e downword.
Again, according to Newton's 2nd laws of motion ,
   , where acceleration of the body
Hence,
Now,

Hence,


Putting this ,



Hence, the acceleration of the body is virtically downward.

When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it. This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the sky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 852 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1018 N. The mass of the sky diver is 86.9 kg. Take upward to be the positive direction. What is his acceleration, including sign?

Sharks are generally negatively buoyant; the upward buoyant force is less than the weight force. This is one reason sharks tend to swim continuously; water moving past their fins causes a lift force that keeps sharks from sinking. A 92 kgbull shark has a density of 1040 kg/m3. What lift force must the shark's fins provide if the shark is swimming in seawater? Bull sharks often swim into freshwater rivers. What lift force is required in a river?

This force can either push the block upward at a constant velocity or allow it to slide downward at a constant velocity. The magnitude of the force is different in the two cases, while the directional angle θ is the same. Kinetic friction exists between the block and the wall, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.310. The weight of the block is 55.0 N, and the directional angle for the force Upper F Overscript right-arrow EndScripts is θ...
