A string is tied to a book and pulled lightly as shown at right. The book remains in contact with the table and does not move.

a. Draw a free-body diagram for the book. Label each of the forces exerted on the book as you were instructed in the tutorial Forces. String

b. How do the forces exerted on the book in this case compare to the forces exerted on the book when the string is not present? List any forces that are the same (i.e., same type of force, same direction, and same magnitude) in both cases. Make a separate list of forces that change (or are not present) when the string is pulled.

A book was lengthened by 8 pages for the second edition. If the book was originally 200 pages long, what was the percent increase?

If a book is located on a table, how many forces should be shown in a free-body diagram of the book? Describe them.

A college library has five copies of a certain text on the reserve. Two copies (1 and 2) are first printings, and the other three (3, 4, and 5) are second printings. A student examines these books in random order, stopping only when second printing has been selected. One possible outcome is 5, and another is 213. (a.) List the outcomes in S . (b.) Let A denote the event that exactly one book must be examined. What outcomes are in A? (c.) Let B be the event that book 5 is the one selected. What outcomes are in B? (d.) Let C be the event that book 1 is not examined. What outcomes are in C?

Book is to chapter as organization is to what

A book publisher has fixed costs of $\$300,000$ and variable costs per book of $\$8$. The book sells for $\$23$ per copy. If the variable cost per unit decreased, would the new break-even point be higher or lower?

For the books in the given figure, there is a force $F$ from the table supporting the book on the bottom. Identify two action-reaction force pairs for each of the following objects: (a) the table, (b) the book on top, (c) the book on the bottom, and (d) the Earth.

You borrow a book from the library to read during your vacation. On the first day of vacation, you read one quarter of the book. On the second day, you read half of the remaining pages. On the third day, you finish the last 120 pages of the book. How many pages does the book have?

Intercontinental's special order also requires $1,000$ kilograms of genatope, a solid chemical regularly used in the company's products. The current stock of genatope is $8,000$ kilograms at a book value of $8.10$ $p$ per kilogram. If the special order is accepted, the firm will be forced to restock genatope earlier than expected, at a predicted cost of $8.70$ $p$ per kilogram. Without the special order, the purchasing manager predicts that the price will be $8.30$ $p$ when normal restocking takes place. Any order of genatope must be in the amount of $5,000$ kilograms.

$1.$ What is the relevant cost of genatope?

$2.$ Discuss each of the figures in the exercise in terms of its relevance to the decision.

Using a chart like the one below, list the characteristics of good radio journalism, as well as the characteristics of a well-written book review and book-jacket blurb.

Using all of the students in your class, find the actual time it takes to pass the book. Actual time to pass the book: _____

Book reviewers criticized the pop star's book, saying that it was nothing more than a collection of ______ that is neither moving nor entertaining.

It is hard to imagine that there can be enough air between a book and a table so that there is a net upward (buoyant) force on the book despite the large downward force on the top of the book. About how many air molecules are there between a textbook and a table, if there is an average distance of about 0.01 mm between the uneven surfaces of the book and table?
