you are out and about in the country and your father sees a rock that he really wants in the yard. now you must get the very heavy rock into the back of a truck. the truck bed is 3 feet off the ground. your father pulls out a 5-foot plank and begins to set up a ramp. at the same time, you (who know about mechanical advantage! ) have found a plank that is 8 feet long, and you show it to your father. which plank will give you the most mechanical advantage? calculate the ma for each plank.

Aball is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 21.9 m/s straight upward, at an initial height of 51.6 m above the ground. the ball just misses the edge of the roof on its way down, as shown in the figure. (a) determine the time needed for the ball to reach its maximum height. (b) determine the maximum height. (c) determine the time needed for the ball to return to the height from which it was thrown, and the velocity of the ball at that instant. (d) determine the time needed for the ball to reach the ground. (e) determine the velocity and position of the ball at t = 5.35 s.
