Children playing pirates have suspended a uniform wooden plank with mass M = 13.4 kg, length ℓ = 2.40 m, and angle θ = 35.0°, as shown in the figure. Sophia, with a mass of m = 21.6 kg, is made to "walk the plank" and is d = 1.5 m from reaching the end of the plank. What is the tension acting on the rope at the end (i.e value of F3)?
A 65 kg student is in a car traveling at 25 m/s on a hill of radius 110 m. When the car is at the top of the hill, what upward force does the seat exert on the student? A 4.2 m long uniform post is supported by a cable having a tension of 1 700 N. What is the mass of this post?
A man stands a distance d = 0.275 m from the left end of a platform as shown in the figure. The platform is supported by three cables. Find the tension in each cable (in N). Assume the platform is uniform, with length L = 2.00 m and mass 35.0 kg, and the weight of the man is 690 N. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (b). What If? The man now begins to walk to the right. If each of the cables can support a maximum tension of 800 N, which cable fails first? At what location does this occur (measured in m from the left end of the platform)?

How do you do this? A hungry bear weighing 700 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam (see figure below). The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 6.00 m long, and it is supported by a wire at an angle of ? = 60.0°. The basket weighs 80.0 N. a) When the bear is at x = 1.00 m, find the tension (in N) in the wire supporting the beam and the components of the force exerted by the wall on the left end of the beam. b) If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 875 N, what is the maximum distance (in m) the bear can walk before the wire breaks?
A 40.0kg uniform platform is suspended by two cables, 2.00m apart, where the centre of the platform lies midway between the cables. A 5.00kg paint bucket is placed on the platform, 24.0cm to the right of the right cable. Determine the tension in each cable.
