Five ramps lead from the ground to the second floor of a workshop, as sketched below. All five ramps have the same height; ramps B, C, D and E have the same length; ramp A is longer than the other four. You need to push a heavy cart up to the second floor and you may choose any one of the five ramps. Assuming no frictional forces on the cart, which ramp would require you to do the least work?

Ablock of steel has a density of 0.29lbs per cubic inch. if the block has dimensions of 1 inch by 1 inch by 3 inches, what is its weight? a. 0.29lbs b. 0.58lbs c. 0.87lbs d. 1lbs

A5 foot by 5 foot box culvert is buried 6 feet beneath the surface of the ground. a crosssection of this very long culvert (into and out of the page) is illustrated below. assume that the soil in which the culvert is buried has the following properties: jt = 120 pcf, w = 12%, ko = 0.50, ka = 0.33, and kp = 3.00. calculate the total horizontal force per unit length of culvert (fh) felt on one of the vertical faces of the culvert.

What property of an object determines its inertia?
