A 75 kg hiker has fallen down a hole. One rescuer attaches a rope to the injured hiker and then a second rescuer pulls the injured hiker straight up out of the hole at a steady rate. How much force would the second rescuer need to exert on the rope to do this?
Since, the injured hiker is being pulled at constant rate, net acceleration is zero.
Using Newton's second law,
F-mg=0
F=mg
F=75*9.8 =735 N
Force applied =735 N

22. A 2000 kg truck is used to pul a stranded 60 kg hiker up out of a canyon. One end of a rope is attached to the rear end of the truck The rope extends horzontally behind the truck and passes over an "ideal" frictioniess puley The hiker hangs on to the other end of the rope. The truck and the hiker both accelerate at a rate of 0.500mf s as shown in the figure. Assume that the rope...
A bucket weighing 2 kg and a
rope of negligible mass is used todraw water from a well that is
40.8 meters deep. Just before thebucket starts being raised from
the bottom of the well, the bucket isfilled with 6 kg of water.
Unfortunately, there is a hole in the bucketand water leaks out at
the rate of 0.12 kg per second. The bucketis pulled up at a
constant rate of 0.8 meters per second.(a)How much water is in the...
When bungee jumping from a high bridge over Victoria Falls, an operator first attaches an elastic rope to the jumper. The jumper then jumps off the bridge, falling freely until they reach the unstretched length of the rope Then, the rope begins to stretch and slows the jumper to a stop. The rope pulls the jumper back up, and they oscillate up and down for a while until the operator pulls the jumper back up to the bridge. The rope...
Practice Probiems (PHYS 2010) Problem 5: A 25 kg box moves in a horizontal circle with a constant speed. Two ropes are attached to the box that together keep it moving in the circle. One rope pulls on the box outward with a force of 0N The second rope is anchored at the center of the circle and pulls the rope inward. The picture below represents an overhead view. Friction can be ignored T1-10N A. What is the speed of...
Magnus has reached the finals of a strength competition. In the first round, he has to pull a city bus as far as he can. One end of a rope is attached to the bus, while the other is tied force gauge placed halfway down the rope reads out a constant 2722 Newtons while a distance of 1.60 meters, how much work does the tension force do on Magnus? The rope is perfectly horizontal during the pull. s waist If...
Magnus has reached the finals of a strength competition. In the first round, he has to pull a city bus as far as he can. One end of a rope is attached to the bus and the other is tied around Magnus's waist. If a force gauge placed halfway down the rope reads out a constant 1450 Newtons while Magnus pulls the bus a distance of 2.20 meters, how much work does the tension force do on Magnus? The rope...

(1 point) Fred attaches a sphere made of metal with density p1 2700 kg per cubic meter to a spring. The sphere has mass m 3.85 kg and the spring has force constant k 48 N/m. As the sphere moves through the air, it encounters air resistance which depends on the cross-section area of the sphere. After a number of trials, Fred determines that the coefficient of the air resistance for this sphere is b 0.066 kg/s What is the...
Magnus has reached the finals of a strength competition. In the first round, he has to pull a city bus as far as he can. One end of a rope is attached to the bus, and the other is tied around Magnus's 48 in waist. If a force gauge placed halfway down the rope reads out a constant 512.0 lbf while Magnus pulls the bus a distance of 90.0 in, how much work does the tension force do on Magnus?...
