A large wrecking ball is used to destroy an old building. The operator uses a maximum angle of 6.0 ◦ . When the ball is at maximum amplitude, he starts timing the motion. He realizes that a full cycle and find that it lasts 7 s.

a. How long is the chain that holds the wrecking ball?

b. Find s(t) or θ(t).

c. Find θ such that the potential and kinetic energies are equal.

d. Had the operator used the same chain on the moon, would you expect the period to be larger or shorter? Explain.

e. The engineer in charge of the site thinks each cycle takes too long, so he asks the operator to use a lighter ball. What do you think about this?

A tennis ball is it at ground level. The ball reaches its maximum height above the ground level 1 sec. after being hit. Then 0.9 seconds after reaching its maximum height, the ball barely clears the net that is 3 m from where the tennis ball was hit. Assume the ground is level. How high is the net?  How far beyond the net does the tennis ball strike the ground?

Systematic random samples are often used to choose a sample of apartments in a large building or dwelling units in a block at the last stage of a multistage sample. An example will illustrate the idea of a systematic sample. Suppose that we must choose 5 addresses out of 125. Because 125/5=25, we can think of the list as five lists of 25 addresses. Choose 1 of the first 25 at random, using software or Table B. The sample contains...

You’re a consultant for a large trucking company and barge operator in the Midwest. The company has looked into a variety of systems to keep track of the location of trucks and barges so that the company can route shipments better and answer customer inquiries faster. The firm’s major concern is with the trucks; the barges have commodities and take weeks to move something. It is much harder to keep up with trucking. They need to know the exact location...
