A disk, a hoop, and a solid sphere are released at the same time at the top of an inclined plane. They are all uniform and roll without slipping. In what order do they reach the bottom?

\( \text{Solid sphere: } I = \frac{2}{5}mR^2, \quad \text{Solid disk: } I = \frac{1}{2}mR^2, \quad \text{Hoop: } I = mR^2 \)

The radius of the left piston is \( 0.12 \) \( \text{m} \) and the radius of the right piston is \( 0.65 \) \( \text{m} \). If \( f \) were raised by \( 14 \) \( \text{N} \), how much would \( F \) need to be increased to maintain equilibrium?

A rocket is fired at a speed of 75.0 m/s from ground level, at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal. The rocket is fired toward an 11.0-m-high wall, which is located 27.0 m away. The rocket attains its launch speed in a negligibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much does the rocket clear the top of the wall?

A conical pendulum is formed by attaching a ball of mass \( m \) to a string of length \( \ell \), then allowing the ball to move in a horizontal circle of radius \( r \). The following figure shows that the string traces out the surface of a cone, hence the name.

A cube of side length \( s \) rests on the bottom surface of a container of fluid. The fluid is at a height \( y \) above the bottom of the tank. The fluid has density \( \rho \) and the atmospheric pressure is \( P_{\text{atm}} \).

Which of the following expressions is equal to the absolute pressure exerted by the fluid on the top surface of the cube?

A ball of mass \( 0.5 \, \text{kg} \), initially at rest, is kicked directly toward a fence from a point \( 32 \, \text{m} \) away, as shown above. The velocity of the ball as it leaves the kicker’s foot is \( 20 \, \text{m/s} \) at an angle of \( 37^\circ \) above the horizontal. The top of the fence is \( 2.5 \, \text{m} \) high. The ball hits nothing while in flight and air resistance is negligible.
