Force: Equilibrium
Q- A patient in therapy has a forearm that weighs 20.5 N and lifts a 112.0 N weight. The only other significant forces on his forearm come from the biceps muscle (which acts perpendicularly to the forearm) and the force at the elbow. If the biceps produce a pull of 232 N when the forearm is raised 4…

Q- A box of mass M placed on a table is connected to a hanging mass m by a string passing over a frictionless pulley as in the figure. If the box has mass of 1 kg, the coefficient of friction between the box and table surface is 0.3 and the box slides on the table at constant speed, what is the weig…
Collision
Q- A truck was traveling north when, at intersection, collided with a car traveling east. The two vehicles remained joined together after the collision. The skid marks leading from the intersection 20 m at an angle of 30o north of east before stopping. The truck weighed 1200 kg and the car weighed …

Q- A man claims that as long as he has his seat belt on, he can hold on to a 12.0 kg child in a 60.0 mi/h head on collision with a brick wall in which the car passenger compartment comes to a stop in 0.050 s. Is his claim true? Explain why he will experience a violent force during the collision, tea…
