In the sport of parasailing, a person is attached to a rope being pulled by a boat while hanging from a parachute-like sail. A rider is towed at a constant speed by a rope that is at an angle of 14° from horizontal. The tension in the rope is 2,480 N. The force of the sail on the rider is 27° from horizontal. What is the weight of the rider (in Newtons)?

Zeros that follow non-zeros numbers and are also to the right of a decimal point are significant

Ahorizontal force of 400.0 n is required to pull a 1760 n truck across the floor at a constant speed. find the coefficient of sliding friction.

16. a brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 n on him. the mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.20m/s2 size 12{1 "." "20"" m/s" rsup { size 8{2} } } {} backward. (a) what is the force of friction between the losing player’s feet and the grass? (b) what force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110 kg? (c) draw a sketch of the situation showing the system of interest used to solve each part. for this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
