100 points
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.

16. a brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 n on him. the mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.20m/s2 size 12{1 "." "20"" m/s" rsup { size 8{2} } } {} backward. (a) what is the force of friction between the losing player’s feet and the grass? (b) what force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110 kg? (c) draw a sketch of the situation showing the system of interest used to solve each part. for this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
