An 80 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 17 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, and we can model the situation to see why. Assume that the man has a mass of 80 kg, with a center of gravity 1.0 m above the ground. The action of the wind on his torso, which we approximate as a cylinder 50 cm wide and 90 cm long centered 1.2 m above the ground, produces a force that tries to tip him over backward. To keep from falling over, he must lean forward. What is the magnitude of the torque provided by the wind force? Take the pivot point at his feet. Assume that he is standing vertically. Assume that the air is at standard temperature and pressure.

A 60 kg stunt man is falling at 15 m/s when he comes into contact with a large safety air bag. In coming to a stop, the air bag exerts a force of -1200 N on the man. How long was the air mattress being used to slow his fall? (please provide me with the equation to solve and the steps to get to the answer)

A 68 kg bungee jumper is standing on a platform 46 m above the ground. The jumper falls from rest and it is assumed that the bungee cord, which is attached to the bungee jumper at one end and the platform at the other, has no effect for the first 9 m of the fall, i.e. the natural length of the cord is 9 m. When the bungee jumper is more than 9 m away from the platform the cord...

Problem 1: A car of mass 1000 kg moves at a constant speed of 20 m/s along a horizontal road where a frictional force is 200N. Calculate the power developed by the engine. If the car now moves up an incline at the same constant speed, calculate the new power developed by the engine. Assume that the frictional force is still 200 N and that sin(theta)=1/20 where theta is the angle of the incline to the horizontal. Problem 2: An...
