Golf for 10 2012-04-18
Bob pose la question :
Question from Bob:

Hi,
I am trying to set up pairings for 4 rounds of golf with only 10 golfers (2 foursomes and 1 twosome) and trying to minimize duplications. Any formulas or help?

Unit Conversion for Force and Mass 2009-05-08
Ray pose la question :
Good Day! I was confused about lbm and lbf and slug. I knew that lbm is a unit for mass and lbf is a unit for weight. my problem is some books follow this relationship where lbf=(lbm times the gravitational pull) which is 32.2 ft/(s^2) while other books treat lbm=lbf. other books also treat lbm=(lbf times 32.2)... which is correct? Is 1kg=2.205 lbm or 1kg=2.205lbf? Is 1BTU=778.16 lbf-ft or 1BTU=778.16 lbm-ft? what is the relationship of slug on these two, lbm and lbf?

Two forces acting on a body 2008-06-21
Rita pose la question :
Before answering the question below, what exactly is, in basic words, resultant force? QUESTION: Two forces of 50 and 68 pounds act on a body to produce a resultant force of 70 pounds. Find, to the nearest 10 minutes or nearest tenth of a degree, the angle formed between the resultant force and the smaller force.

Hoisting an anchor 2008-01-10
ron pose la question :
four men on a boat are using a capstan for hoisting an anchor weighing 2000lbs. The diameter of the barrel of the capstan at the section in use is 8in., and the pull on the chain carrying the anchor and passing around the capstan barrel is assumed to act at a distance of 1in. from the surface of the barrel. If the distance from the axis of the barrel to each point at which effort is applied to a capstan bar is 40in., what force must be applied by each man hoisting the anchor?

Forces on an inclined plane 2008-01-10
Ron pose la question :
A body that weighs 540lbs is caused to slide up an inclined plane with a uniform velocity by a force that acts parallel to the plane. For each foot of horizontal distance, there is a vertical rise of 2in. If the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.16, what force is required to move the body?

The tension in a single strand of wire 2007-08-13
Gene pose la question :
Seeking an equation that calculates the tension in a single strand of wire or rope. Conditions: the wire is fixed at both ends, A known weight is suspended from the center of the span. The weight will dipslace the strand downward some distance Y. Let the distance between the fixed ends be X= 500mm. Weight W=0.5kg. Original tension in the strand is T= 10 newtons.Your help sincerely appreciated.

4 digit lock 2007-05-16
Kathy pose la question :
Hi, My name is Kathy and I'm a REALTOR, I have 2 different lockboxes that I cannot remember the combinations for, so what I need is all the different combinations for 4 digits that cannot be the same, i.e. 0123. Can you help me out? I would hate to throw them away as they cost about $30 each. Thank you, Kathy

A couch sliding off a truck 2007-04-30
William pose la question :
A couch with a mass of 1 X 10^2kg is placed on an adjustable ramp connected to a truck. As one end of the ramp is raised, the couch begins to move downward. If the couch slides down the ramp with an acceleration of .70 meters per second when the ramp angle is 25 degrees, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and couch? I drew a force diagram and if I did it correctly I identified the forces involved as "mg" (mass x gravity), "Fn" (normal force) and the "Ff" (frictional force). I know that we have the couch sliding down the ramp a .70 m/s but I don't think this a force and I'm not sure how this info fits into the problem. I know that the formula for calculating the coefficient of friction is Ff/Fn. Based upon the force diagram I drew and calculated Fn to be 1082N. I can't seem to get past this point. How do I determine what the frictional force is?

Friction of a skier 2007-03-24
William pose la question :
An olympic skier moving at 20.0 m/s down a 30 degree slope encounters a region of wet snow and slides 145m before coming to a halt. What is the coefficient of friction between the skis and the snow?

Rotor-ride 2007-03-07
Jessie pose la question :
In a "Rotor-ride" at a carnival, people are rotated in a cylindrically walled "room". The room radius is 4.6m and the rotation frequency is 0.550 revolutions per second when the floor drops out. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction so that people will not slip down? People on this ride say they were "pressed against the wall". Is there really an outward force pressing them against the wall? If so, what is its source? If not, what is the proper description of their situation (besides scary)?

A person jumps from the roof of a house 2007-02-13
Jessie pose la question :
A person jumps from the roof of a house 3.9m high. When he strikes the ground below, he bends his knees so that the torso decelerates over an approximate distance of 0.70m. If the mass of his torso (excluding legs) is 42kg, find a) his velocity just before his feet strike the ground , and b) the average force exerted on his torso by his legs during deceleration.

Please provide calculations and answers for comparison.

The combined force of two vectors 2004-10-30
Brian pose la question :
Two teams are playing push ball with a large 8 foot diameter ball. One team exerts a force represented by the vector a = 2i + -5j, and the other team exerts a force represented by the vector b = -8i-3j.

1.Determine the direction of movement of the ball if the i axis is due east.

2.Determine the combined force magnitude.
