50. You know that a sharp knife cuts better than a dull knife. Do you know why this is so? Defend your answer. 51. Which is more likely to hurt: being stepped on by a 100-kg man wearing flat shoes (Area = 100cm2) or being stepped on by a 50-kg woman wearing high heels (Area = 2 cm2)? Hint: p = F/A 52. Which do you suppose exerts more pressure on the grass: a 5000-kg elephant (feet Area 400 cm2) or a 50- kg lady standing on spike heels (heel Area = 4 cm2)? (Which will be more likely to make dents in a linoleum floor?) Approximate a rough calculation for each. 53. Why are persons who are confined to bed less likely to develop bedsores on their bodies if they rest on a waterbed rather than on an ordinary mattress?

During the experiment if you could triple the breakaway magnetic force with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new value for the critical velocity if it was v0 (initial velocity), initially? (b) now if you halved the radius with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new critical velocity if it was v0 (initial velocity), initially? (c) if during the experiment, critical velocity quadrupled with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new breakaway force if its magnitude was initially f0,?
