A 55 kg rock climber is in a lie-back climb along a fissure, with hands pulling on one side of the fissure and feet pressed against the opposite side. The fissure has width = 0.200 m, and the center of mass of the climber is a horizontal distance d = 0.400 m from the fissure. The coefficient of static friction between hands and rock is µ1 = 0.400, and between boots and rock it is µ2 = 1.20. The climber adjusts the vertical distance h between hands and feet until the (identical) pull by the hands and push by the feet is the least that keeps him from slipping down the fissure. (He is on the verge of sliding.)

a. What is the least horizontal pull by the hands and push by the feet that will keep the climber stable?
b. What is the value of h?

2.22/3.33 points | previous answers tamucolphysmechl1 4.pre.002. ask your teacher my notes question part points submissions used on a frictionless air track, a blue glider with mass 0.200 kg is moving to the right with a speed of 8.00 m/s. it strikes a red glider that has mass 0.600 kg and that is initially at rest. after the collision, the blue glider is moving to the left with a speed of 2.40 m/s. (a) what are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the red glider after the collision? magnitude 3.33 m/s correct: your answer is correct. direction correct: your answer is correct. (b) is this collision elastic?

Complete these sentences. if a roller coaster train has a potential energy of 1,500 j and a kinetic energy of 500 j as it starts to travel downhill, its total energy isj. once the roller coaster train gets closer to the bottom of the hill, its kinetic energy increases to 1,100 j, and its potential energy decreases to j. when the train reaches the bottom of the track and is traveling along the ground, its kinetic energy isj.
