Mountaineers often use a rope to lower themselves down the face of a cliff (this is called rappelling). they do this with their body nearly horizontal and their feet pushing against the cliff (fig. 8). suppose that an 76.5 kg climber, who is 1.78 m tall and has a center of gravity 1.5 m from his feet, rappels down a vertical cliff with his body raised 41.8◦ above the horizontal. he holds the rope 1.31 m from his feet, and it makes a 29.8◦ angle with the cliff face. (a) what tension does his rope need to support? (b) find the horizontal component of the force that the cliff face exerts on the climber’s feet. (c) find the vertical component of the force that the cliff face exerts on the climber’s feet. (d) what minimum coefficient of static friction is needed to prevent the climber’s feet from slipping on the cliff face if he has one foot at a time against the cliff?

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?
