A 55 kg rock climber is in a lie-back climb along a fissure, with hands pulling on one side of the fissure and feet pressed against the opposite side. The fissure has width = 0.200 m, and the center of mass of the climber is a horizontal distance d = 0.400 m from the fissure. The coefficient of static friction between hands and rock is µ1 = 0.400, and between boots and rock it is µ2 = 1.20. The climber adjusts the vertical distance h between hands and feet until the (identical) pull by the hands and push by the feet is the least that keeps him from slipping down the fissure. (He is on the verge of sliding.)

a. What is the least horizontal pull by the hands and push by the feet that will keep the climber stable?
b. What is the value of h?

Aroll in a paper machine is powered by a separately excited dc machine. operating point 1 (under load): the roll typically operates at 764 rpm and must provide 301 nm of torque to oppose the load of the paper. the armature voltage is 230v for this operating point operating point 2 (no load): when the load is removed the speed of the roll increases to 900 rpm (the field characteristics are unchanged) la ea dev m (a) calculate the maximum torque (units of nm) that the motor can supply with this applied voltage (b) calculate the value of the armature resistance, ra (in ohms) (c) at operating point 1 (loaded condition), the field current, i, and the total input power (armature field), are measured to be to be 10 a and 28,600 w respectively. use this information to calculate the value of the field resistance, rf (in ohms). (d) (d) at operating point 1 (loaded condition), calculate the motor efficiency. express your answer as a percent to at least 2 significant digits. (d) if the field voltage is reduced by 1/2, calculate the new stall torque (in nm) of the motor (f). if the field voltage is reduced by 1/2, calculate the new no-load speed (in rad/sec)

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?

Select light for the type of wave, adjust the wavelength so that the light is red, and increase the amplitude of the light to the max. then, select the start button at the source location to begin producing the waves. light is a form of electromagnetic wave, containing oscillating electric and magnetic fields. the wave amplitude detector mentioned above shows how the electric field oscillates in time at the location of the probe. the amplitude of the wave at the location of the probe is equal to the maximum electric field measured. how does the amplitude of the wave depend on the distance from the source?
