Check Your Understanding A 50-kg person stands 1.5 m away from one end of a uniform 6.0-m-long scaffold of mass 70.0 kg. Find the tensions in the two vertical ropes supporting the scaffold.
Show that, as stated in the text, a force F exerted on a flexible medium at its center and perpendicular to its length (such as on the tightrope wire in Figure 4.17) gives rise to a tension of magnitude T=F2sin() .
Why is it not possible to sit upright in a chair and rise toyour feet without first leaning forward?
A 23.0-kg backpack is suspended midway between two trees by a light cord as in Fig. 9–51. A bear grabs the backpack and pulls vertically downward with a constant force, so that each section of cord makes an angle of 27° belowthe horizontal. Initially, without the bear pulling, the angle was 15°; the tension in the cord with the bear pulling is double what it was when he was not. Calculate the force the bear is exerting on the backpack.
