Question

A) A black widow spider hangs motionless from a web that extends vertically from the ceiling above. If the spider has a mass of 1.81 g, what is the tension in the web?

 

B)A woman uses a rope to pull a block of mass m across a level floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is 

μk. The rope makes an angle θ with the floor. Find an algebraic expression for the tension in the rope in terms of the parameters listed in the problem and any constants. (Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only. Assume the rope makes an angle θ above the horizontal.)
