A brand new semi truck is traveling down the road at 65 mph (29 m/s) going North. A strong gust of wind blows diagonally into the truck with 25 mph (11 m/s). The operator's manual of the truck says that the vehicle will topple off the road if experiencing any wind velocity over 22 mph (10 m/s) against the side of the truck. Simple question: Is the truck going to topple over?

.An airport has occasionally been closed to large planes because of weather conditions that do not entail storms or low visibility. Instead, the conditions combine to create an unusually low air density. Explain why such an air density would make it difficult for a large, heavy plane to take off, especially if the runway were not exceptionally long.
Why is it preferable for airplanes to take off into the wind rather than with the wind?
Problem 12: Captain Jack Sparrow has been marooned on an island in the Atlantic by his crew, and decides to build a raft to escape. The wind seems quite steady, and first blows him due east for I1 km, and then 14.5 km in a direction 6.5 degrees north of east. @theexpertta.com - tracking id: 9N69-4E-C3-45-84AD-30557.

As a hiker in Glacier National Park, you are looking for a way to keep the bears from getting at your supply of food. You find a campground that is near an outcropping of ice from one of the glaciers. Part of the ice outcropping forms a slope of angle ? up to a vertical cliff. You decide that this is an ideal place to hang your food supply, as the cliff is too tall for a bear to reach it. You put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie an unstretchable rope to the sack, and tie another bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. The mass of rocks that you put into the anchor bag is equal to the mass of food in the other bag. What will be the acceleration ? of the food bag when you let go of the anchor bag? Assume that the weight of the rope is negligible, and that the ice can be considered frictionless. Express the resulting acceleration ? of the food bag in terms of ? and ?, the acceleration due to gravity. Let the positive direction for this bag be downwards.
The towers holding small wind turbines are often raised and lowered for easy servicing of the turbine. (Figure 1) shows a 900 kg wind turbine mounted on the end of a 24-m-long, 700 kg tower that connects to a support column at a pivot. A piston connected 3.0 m from the pivot applies the force needed to raise or lower the tower. At the instant shown, the wind turbine is being raised at a very slow, constant speed.

Archie designs an arch of a certain width and height to serve as an outdoor sculpture in a park. To achieve the size and shape for the strongest possible arch, he suspends a chain from two equally elevated supports as far apart as the arch is wide and allows the chain to hang as low as the arch is high. He then designs the arch to have exactly the inverted shape of the hanging chain. Explain why.
10. A woman bails out of an airplane at an altitude of 10,000 ft, falls freely for 20 s, then opens her parachute. How long will it take her to reach the ground? Assume linear air re- sistance pv ft/s², taking p = 0.15 without the parachute and p = 1.5 with the parachute. (Suggestion: First deter- mine her height above the ground and velocity when the parachute opens.)
