Holding on to a towrope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 45 kg skier has pulled up the slope, which is at an angle of 8.0° with the horizontal. What is the magnitude Frep  of the force on the skier from the rope when

(a) the magnitude v  of the skier's velocity is constant at 2.0 m s-1?

(b) v=2.0 m s-1, as v increases at a rate of 0.10 m s-2?

A 50 kg skier skis directly down a frictionless slope angled at 10° to the horizontal. Assume the skier moves in the negative direction of an x-axis along the slope. Up the incline is the direction of positive x-axis. A wind force with component Fw acts on the skier. What is Fw, if the magnitude of the skier's velocity is:

(a) constant?

(b) increasing at a rate of 1.0 m s-2?

(c) increasing at a rate of 2.0 m s-2?

 A dated box of dates of mass 4.50kg, is sent sliding up a frictionless ramp at an angle of θ to the horizontal. In  Figure shown below gives, as a function of time t, the component vx of the box's velocity along an x axis that extends directly up the ramp. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the box from the ramp?

Joyce needs to lower a bundle of scrap material that weighs 450 N from a point 6.2 m, above the ground. For doing this exercise, Joyce uses a rope that will break if the tension in it exceeds 390 N. Clearly, if she hangs the bundle on the rope, it will break and therefore, Joyce allows the bundle to accelerate downward.

(a) What magnitude of the bundle's acceleration will put the rope on the verge of snapping?

(b) At that acceleration, with what speed would the bundle hit the ground?

In the earlier days, horses pulled barges down the canals in a manner, as shown in the below figure. Suppose the horse pulls on the rope with a force of 8600 N, at an angle of θ=18° to the direction of motion of the barge, which is headed straight along the positive direction of the x-axis. The mass of the barge is 9500 kg, and the magnitude of its acceleration is 0.12 m s-2. What is the magnitude and direction (relative to positive x) of the force on the barge from the water?
