Problem 1 The Next Two Questions Pertain To The Situation Described Below
(a) Find the force exerted by the rope on the car when the angle θ is 13° and you are pulling with
a force of 105 N but the car does not move.
(b) How strong must the rope be (what is the maximum force the rope should be able with
withstand) if it takes a force of 775 N to move the car when θ = 2°?
Problem 2
The next five questions pertain to the situation described below.
A box of mass m2 = 3.1 kg rests on a frictionless horizontal shelf and is attached by strings to
boxes of masses m1 = 1 kg and m3 = 2.6 kg as shown below. Both pulleys are frictionless and
massless. The system is released from rest. After it is released, find the following.
In a loop-the-loop ride a car goes around a vertical, circular loop at a constant speed. The car has
a mass m = 286 kg and moves with speed v = 13.82 m/s. The loop-the-loop has a radius of R = 8
m.
a) What is the magnitude of the normal force on the care when it is at the bottom of the circle?
(But as the car is accelerating upward.)
b) What is the magnitude of the normal force on the car when it is at the side of the circle
(moving vertically upward)?
c) What is the magnitude of the normal force on the car when it is at the top of the circle?
d) Compare the magnitude of the cars acceleration at each of the above locations:
e) What is the minimum speed of the car so that it stays in contact with the track at the top of the
loop?

Problem 6
The next four questions pertain to the situation described below.
Scientists want to place a 4200 kg satellite in orbit around Mars. They plan to have the satellite
orbit a distance equal to 1.6 times the radius of Mars above the surface of the planet. Here is
some information that will help solve this problem:
mmars = 6.4191 x 1023 kg
rmars = 3.397 x 106 m
G = 6.67428 x 10-11 N-m2/kg2
a) What is the force of attraction between Mars and the satellite?
b) What speed should the satellite have to be in a perfectly circular orbit?
c) How much time does it take the satellite to complete one revolution?
d) Which of the following quantities would change the speed the satellite needs to orbit at?
