Show that, as explained 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 5.26) gives rise to a tension of magnitude T=F/2sin() .
Consider Figure 5.28. The driver attempts to get the car out of the mud by exerting a perpendicular force of 610.0 N, and the distance she pushes in the middle of the rope is 1.00 m while she stands 6.00 m away from the car on the left and 6.00 m away from the tree on the right. What is the tension Tin the rope, and how do you find the answer?

While moving into your new place, you have to push a 25-kg box across the foor. You push on it with someforce at angle of 27◦ below your shoulder, as shown in the fgure. Assuming the coefcient of static frictionbetween the box and foor is 0.60, with what force do you need to push to just get the box moving? (Hint: itis safe to assume that the acceleration of the box is still zero at the instant it starts moving.)
