A block of mass 2.63 kg is hung at the midpoint of a string that is attached to the top of a 2-m tall pole at one end and to the top of another 2-m tall pole that is 5 m away at its other end. If due to the weight of the block the string deviates by 6.5º from the horizontal on each side of the block, what is the tension in the string?

For the woman being pulled forward on the toboggan in Figure 4.33, is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the toboggan (a) equal to the total weight of the woman plus the toboggan, (b) greater than the total weight, (c) less than the total weight, or (d) possibly greater than or less than the total weight, depending on the size of the weight relative to the tension in the rope?
A picture frame hung against a wall is suspended by two wires attached to its upper corners. If the two wires make the same angle with the vertical, what must this angle be if the tension in each wire is equal to 0.75 of the weight of the frame?
A worker pulls a 15-kg crate in a straight line on a level surface by imparting a horizontal tension of 80 N to the free end of a cable whose other end is attached to the crate. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.40, what is the acceleration of the crate?
The three masses shown in the figure are in equilibrium and the inclined plane is frictionless.If θ = 30.7°, m2 = 2.00 kg, and m3 = 4.24 kg, determine the mass m1 and the magnitude of the tension T in the string connecting m2 and m3.
A ball of weight 200 N is suspended from two cables, one horizontal and one at a 60° angle, as shown. Which of the following must be true of the tension in the angled cable?A. T > 200 N B. T = 200 N C. T < 200 N
A magnet of mass 4.72 kg is suspended from the ceiling by a cord as shown. A large magnet is somewhere off to the right, pulling on the small hanging magnet with a constant force of F = 57.1 N. At what angle theta ?with respect to the vertical does the magnet hang? Consider the same situation as in the previous problem. This time the magnet has mass 6.62 kg and the force pulling the magnet to the right has magnitude 180.6 N. What is the magnitude of the tension force in the cord? Same situation as in the previous problem this time the magnet has mass 7.25 kg, the force pulling it to the right is 111.3 N, the cord has length 0.54 m and the ceiling is 2.82 m above the floor. How far to the right of its start point will the magnet have traveled when it hits the floor after the cord is cut? OK, one more time. This time the magnet has mass 6.78 kg and the force pulling it to the right is 175.5 N. When the magnet hits the floor, it continues being pulled to the right by the same…
Logs weighing 1.3 kg and 2.2 kg lie on a flat surface and are connected by a rope that breaks at a force of 20 N. The coefficient of friction between the lighter log and the base is 0.50, and between the heavier log and the base 0.30. With what maximum force can we pull the lighter log so that the string does not break?
In about 1915, Henry Sincosky of Philadelphia suspended himself from a rafter by gripping the rafter with the thumb of each hand on one side and the fingers on the opposite side. Sincosky’s mass was 79 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between hand and rafter was 0.70, what was the least magnitude of the normal force on the rafter from each thumb or opposite fingers? (After suspending himself, Sincosky chinned himself on the rafter and then moved hand-over-hand along the rafter. If you do not think Sincosky’s grip was remarkable, try to repeat his stunt.)
