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 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 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?
