Mountaineers often use a rope to lower themselves down the face of a cliff (this is called rappelling). they do this with their body nearly horizontal and their feet pushing against the cliff (fig. 8). suppose that an 76.5 kg climber, who is 1.78 m tall and has a center of gravity 1.5 m from his feet, rappels down a vertical cliff with his body raised 41.8◦ above the horizontal. he holds the rope 1.31 m from his feet, and it makes a 29.8◦ angle with the cliff face. (a) what tension does his rope need to support? (b) find the horizontal component of the force that the cliff face exerts on the climber’s feet. (c) find the vertical component of the force that the cliff face exerts on the climber’s feet. (d) what minimum coefficient of static friction is needed to prevent the climber’s feet from slipping on the cliff face if he has one foot at a time against the cliff?

Asmall metal bar, whose initial temperature was 10° c, is dropped into a large container of boiling water. how long will it take the bar to reach 70° c if it is known that its temperature increases 2° during the first second? (the boiling temperature for water is 100° c. round your answer to one decimal place.) sec how long will it take the bar to reach 98° c? (round your answer to one decimal place.)
