A construction worker pulls a five-meter plank up the side of a building under construction by means of a rope tied to one end of the plank (see figure). Assume the opposite end of the plank follows a path perpendicular to the wall of the building and the worker pulls the rope at a rate of 0.18 meter per second. How fast is the end of the plank sliding along the ground when it is 1.5 meters from the wall of the building? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

A worker stands on the roof of a 45.0 m high building that is under construction. He throws a bag of debris giving it an initial velocity of 12.0 m/s at an angle of 33.0 ∘ from downward direction. How long is the bag in flight? How far from the building does the bag land? What is the bag's final speed just before it hits the ground? Can you please explain to me step by step

A worker is shoving boxes up a rough plank inclined at an angle 27o above the horizontal. The coefficient of friction increases with the distance x along the plank: μ=Ax, where 0.05 is a positive constant and the bottom of the plank is at x=0. (for this plank the coefficient of kinetic and static friction are equal). The worker shoves a 2 kg box up the plank so that it leaves the bottom of the plank moving at a speed...

A window washer on a scaffold hoists the scaffold up the side of a building by pulling down on a rope that runs over a pulley and connects back to the top of the scaffold. The combined mass of the worker and the scaffold is 100kg, and the washer pulls on the rope with a force of 800N. What is the acceleration of the scaffold?

a building design was complete and is under construction. You had selected a window with a U-value of 1.6 and a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.25. The window manufacturer informs you that they no longer carry that window model, but that they can give you a window with a U-value of 1.6 and SHGC of 0.4. How would this new window impact your building's modeled heating and cooling energy consumption?

You are field manager for the general contractor on a multi-story office building under construction. The project has risen all 15 floors above the foundation. The roof is on and the exterior façade of the structure, consisting of alternating blue glass ribbon windows and red granite panels, has “dried in” the project many weeks ago. On the third, seventh and fifteenth floors, the executive offices located on the corners of the building have blue glass doors that lead outside to...
