You are in a spaceship (mass m) orbiting earth in a circular orbit at radius r. you need to complete a spacewalk to investigate possible damage on the ship from collision with debris in orbit. your intention is to tether yourself to the ship with a cord of length l, such that the cord is taut and the ship is between you and the earth (this way, you can get a good look at the damage). you have a mass of m. we will find an expression for the minimum tension needed to keep you tethered to the ship. (a) write f = ma for the ship. write f = ma for you while on your spacewalk (b) given that you and the ship both orbit the earth in the same time period, find a relation between your linear speed and the ship's. (c) find an expression for the tension in terms of the variables given. (d) (optional) simplify the result under the assumptions that i

As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. there is no one around to , so you attach an ideal pulley to the box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap around the pulley. you pull up on the rope to lift the box. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect friction forces. once you have pulled hard enough to start the box moving upward, what is the magnitude f of the upward force you must apply to the rope to start raising the box with constant velocity? express the magnitude of the force in terms of m, the mass of the box.
