Question:
Jorge, with mass m, is wearing roller skates whose coefficient of friction with the floor is μr. He ties a massless rope around his waist, passes it around a frictionless pulley, and grabs hold of the other end, as shown in Figure P7.47. Jorge then pulls hand over hand on the rope with a constant force F. Find an expression for Jorge’s acceleration toward the wall.
Step by Step Answer:
Model Model Jorge as a particle and use the rolling friction model Visua...View the full answer
