Answer

(a) $3.5$ (b) $24.528m/s^2$ (c) $0.24528m/s$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $W=mg$ $\implies W=(67Kg)(9.81m/s^2)$ $W=656.6N$ The required ratio can be determined as $ratio=\frac{F}{W}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $ratio=\frac{2300}{656.6}=3.5$ (b) We can find the magnitude and direction of the required acceleration as follows: $\Sigma F_y=ma_y$ $\implies 2300N+(67Kg)(-9.8m/s^2)=(67Kg)a_y$ $\implies a_y=\frac{2300N-656.6N}{67Kg}$ $a_y=24.528m/s^2$ (c) We know that $\Delta v_y=a_y t$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta v_y=(24.528m/s^2)(0.01s)$ $\Delta v_y=0.24528m/s$
