Problems 68 and 69 show a free-body diagram. For each:

a. Write a realistic dynamics problem for which this is the correct free-body diagram. Your problem should ask a question that can be answered with a value of position or velocity (such as "How far?" or "How fast?"), and should give sufficient information to allow a solution.

b. Solve your problem!

Part (a) A toy car of weight 9.8Nis moving in a forward direction by the force of 20N, the coefficient of friction between the toy car and the earth surface is 0.5, the velocity of the car after 10m if the car start from the rest.

Part (b): The velocity of the car is 17.4m/s.

Step by step solution

Part (a) Step 1: Given 

The free body diagram:

02

Part (a) Step 1: Writing realistic problem.

In the figure, there is a downward force of 9.8Nwhich signifies the weight of the car and there is an upward force which represents the reaction force, the forward force which tends to move the toy car in forwarding direction, and a backward force which oppose the motion of the car due to friction.

The suitable realistic problem is as follows

A toy car of weigh9.8Nis moving in a forward direction by the force of 20N, the coefficient of friction between the toy car and the earth surface is0.5, determine the velocity of the car after 10mif the car starts from rest. Part (b) Step 3: Given.

03

Part (b) Step 3 Given.

Weight of the car is 9.8N.

Forward force, F=20N

Friction force,Ffriction=4.9N.

Part (b) Step 5: Calculation.

The mass of the car is calculated as:

W=mg9.81=m×9.81m=1kg.

The acceleration of the car is calculated as

Conclusion.

Part (a): A toy car of weight 9.8Nis moving in a forward direction by the force of 20N, the coefficient of friction between the toy car and the earth surface is 0.5, the velocity of the car after 10m if the car starts from the rest.

Part (b): The velocity of the car is 17.4m/s.

An accident victim with a broken leg is being placed in traction. The patient wears a special boot with a pulley attached to the sole. The foot and boot together have a mass of 4.0kg, and the doctor has decided to hang a 6.0kgmass from the rope. The boot is held suspended by the ropes, as shown in FIGUREP6.41, and does not touch the bed.

a. Determine the amount of tension in the rope by using Newton’s laws to analyze the hanging mass.

b. The net traction force needs to pull straight out on the leg. What is the proper angle u for the upper rope?

c. What is the net traction force pulling on the leg?
