A block of weight w is suspended from a rope tied to two other ropes at point O. One rope is horizontally attached to a wall and the other is fastened to the ceiling. The angle between ceiling and the rope is 60°. What are the tensions in each of the ropes? Assume the weights of the ropes and the knot are negligible. If the weight of the block is 100 N, what is the tension in the ceiling rope?

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
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 1.50×103 kg car, whose front is facing to the right (towards +x-axis) and whose engine is turned off and in neutral, is held at rest on a frictionless ramp using a cable whose one end is attached to the car’s front at an angle 27.0◦ with respect to the ramp’s surface. The other end of the cable is attached to a wall perpendicular to the horizontal and the ramp is raised 30.0◦ above the horizontal. b. Find the tension on the cable.
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?

A dockworker adjusts rope which keeps a ship from drifting alongside a wharf. If he exerts a pull of 200 N on the rope, which has turns of 1 ¼ around the mooring bit, what force T can he support? The coefficient of friction between the rope and the cast-steel mooring bit is 0.30
Consider the three forces acting on the box. F1= 20.0N at an angle θ1= 45° measured from the horizontal F2= 5.00 N at an angle θ2= 60° and the weight W= 15.0 N, pulling directly down in the y- direction. What is the net force acting on a box?
If only one force acts on an object, can it be in equilibrium?Explain.
