The spool of wire having a weight of 260 lb rests on the ground at b and against the wall at a. determine the force p required to begin pulling the wire horizontally off the spool. the coefficient of static friction between the spool and its points of contact is ms = 0.25.

Aballoon is rising vertically upwards at a velocity of 10m/s. when it is at a height of 45m from the ground, a parachute bails out from it. after 3s he opens his parachute and decelerates ata a constant rate 5m/s.when. (a) what was the height of the parachutist above the ground when he opened his parachute? (b)how far is the parachutist from the balloon at t=3s? (c)with what velocity does the parachutist hit the ground? (d)after how long does the parachutist hit the ground after his exist from the balloon?
