The board sandwiched between two other boards in Figure P5.97 weighs 95.5 N. If the coefficient of static friction between the boards is 0.663, what must be the magnitude of the compression forces (assumed horizontal) acting on both sides of the center board to keep it from slipping?
Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle? FIGURE P5.76

A fixture with a mass of 3 kg is being suspended by anchoring two wires to the side walls in a room. You need to make sure that the wires are strong enough, so you decide to find the tensions ?T1 and ?T2 in them. If the wires are rated at a max tension of 15 N, is it safe to use them?

Two masses mA =9.3kg and mB=6.1kg are on inclines and are connected together by a string as shown in the figure. The angles theta subscript A=700 and theta subscript B = 360 . In the absence of the friction, the force F is required to pull the masses at a constant velocity up the fixed inclines. The force F is now removed. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the two blocks? Take g =9.81 m/s2, and express your answer using two decimal places.
