In the Olympics, the stone used in curling is about 20kg in mass and is launched down the ice at around 2 meters per second. The sweepers slow the stone down to 0.5 m/s just before it contacts the opponents stone. What is it’s KE at this point

The free body diagram shows a box being pulled to the left up a 25-degree incline. the magnitude of the normal force is

The a992 steel rod bc has a diameter of 50 mm and is used as a strut to support the beam. determine the maximum intensity w of the uniform distributed load that can be applied to the beam without risk of causing the strut to buckle. take f.s. = 2 against bucklin

The ratio of lift to drag l/d for a wing or airfoil is an important aerodynamic parameter, indeed, it is a direct measure of the aerodynamic efficiency of the wing. if a wing is pitched through a range of angle of attack, l/d first increases, then goes through a maximum, and then decreases. consider an infinite wing with an naca 2412 airfoil. estimate the maximum value of l/d. assume that the reynolds number is 9x10^6.
