In about 1915, henry sincosky of philadelphia suspended himself from a rafter by gripping the rafter with the thumb of each hand on one side and the fingers of the other side. sincosky's mass was 79 kg. if the coefficient of static friction between hand and rafter was 0.52, what was the least magnitude of the normal force on the rafter from each thumb or opposite fingers? (after suspending himself, sincosky chinned himself on the rafter and then moved hand-over-hand along the rafter. if you do not think sincosky's grip was remarkable, try to repeat his stunt.)
fnormal, min = n

Explanation:

mass (m) = 79 kg

coefficient of static frictin (μ) = 0.52

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
