A painter stands on a horizontal uniform scaffold hung by its ends from two vertical ropes 6 m apart. The scaffold weighs 200 N and the tension in one rope is 750 N, that of the other is 250 N. a) What is the weight of the painter? b) Where is the man standing?
Some insects can walk below a thin rod (such as a twig) by hanging from it. Suppose that such an insect has mass m and hangs from a horizontal rod with angle u = 40. Its six legs are all under the same tension, and the leg sections nearest the body are horizontal. (a) What is the ratio of the tension in each tibia (forepart of a leg) to the insect’s weight? (b) If the insect straightens out its legs somewhat, does the tension in each tibia increase, decrease, or stay the same?

On a force table, a thread has a brass cylinder attached to it weighing 100 grams. Earth's gravity pulls this weight (0.1 kg) downward with 0.98 N of force, and therefor the same amount of weight is applied to the cylinder (0.98). However, a. Why isn't the cylinder falling to the floor? b. Why is the cylinder not rising to hit the pulley? c. How strongly do you think the thread's loop is pulling upward?
Please asap A solid ball is released from rest and slides down a hillside that slopes downward at π/3 rad from the horizontal. (a) What minimum value must the coefficient of static friction between the hill and ball surfaces have for no slipping to occur? (b) Would the coefficient of friction calculated in part (a) be sufficient to prevent a hollow ball (such as a soccer ball) from slipping? Mathematically justify your answer.
A solid ball is released from rest and slides down a hillside that slopes downward at 65.0° from the horizontal. (a) What minimum value must the coefficient of static friction between the hill and ball surfaces have for no slipping to occur? (b) Would the coefficient of friction calculated in part (a) be sufficient to prevent a hollow ball (such as a soccer ball) from slipping? Justify your answer. (c) In part (a), why did we use the coefficient of static friction and not the coefficient of kinetic friction?
