A student takes a of clay and starts to pull the clay apart in two equal pieces. It spreads apart leaving a thin section in the middle connecting the pieces of clay together. Which extremely slow process is he/she trying to model?

Orque can be calculated by multiplying the force (n) applied at 90? to the lever arm at a distance (m) from the pivot point (point of rotation), the compound si unit for the torque is n? m. if the force (at 90? to the lever arm) applied is 15 n and it is applied at 2.0 m from the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever?

Asolid cylinder and a cylindrical shell have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. the cylindrical shell has light-weight spokes connecting the shell to the axle. a rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to blocks of equal masses that are held the same height above the ground. both blocks are released simultaneously. the ropes do not slip. which block hits the ground first? or is it a tie?

Aplayer uses a hockey stick to push a puck at a constant velocity across the ice. the weight of the puck is 170 n. the coefficient of friction is 0.0600. with what force must the player push the puck so that his force just equals the frictional force? 28.3 n 0.999 n 0.102 n 0.0104 n
