The route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors , , and . Vector is along a measured trail and is 1360 m in a direction 16.0 ° north of east. Vector is not along a measured trail, but the hiker uses a compass and knows that the direction is 27.0 ° east of south. Similarly, the direction of vector is 15.0 ° north of west. The hiker ends up back where she started, so the resultant displacement is zero, or + + = 0. Find the magnitudes of (a) vector b and (b) vector c

10-4=5=6

a. A car traveling on a flat (unbanked), circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of 2.10 m/s2. The car makes it one quarter of the way around the circle before it skids off the track. From these data, determine the coefficient of static friction between the car and track.

b.A 250-kg merry-go-round in the shape of a uniform, solid, horizontal disk of radius 1.50 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope about the rim of the disk and pulling on the rope. What constant force would have to be exerted on the rope to bring the merry-go-round from rest to an angular speed of 0.400 rev/s in 2.00 s? (State the magnitude of the force.)

c. A  potter's wheel—a thick stone disk of radius 0.500 m and mass 110 kg—is freely rotating at 50.0 rev/min. The potter can stop the wheel in 6.00 s by pressing a wet rag against the rim and exerting a radially inward force of 73.0 N. Find the effective coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheel and rag.

A block hangs from a string that runs over a pulley and is attached to a rolling cart. The cart, the block, and the pulley each have the same mass (M) . The cart an pulley roll without friction, and the pulley is a disk with moment of inertia:

Icm=12MR2

The hanging block is released from rest and allowed to evolve freely under the influence of gravity.

Find the speed of the hanging mass, v, after the block has fallen over a distance equal to 5R. Give your answer a a function of M, R, and the gravitational acceleration g, as needed.
