A laboratory exercise on the concept of static equilibrium uses an apparatus called a force table. The force table consists of a round, level platform marked in degree increments about its circumference. In the center of the table sits a massless ring, to which three strings are tied. Each m, m2 string is strung over a separate pulley clamped to the edge of the platform and then tied to a freely hanging mass, so that each string is under tension and the ring is suspended m, parallel to the table surface. There is a mass of m1 157 g located at 0, = 24.5° and a second masss of m2 = 215 g located at 02 = 291°. Calculate the mass mg and the location 03 (in degrees) that will balance the system and hold the ring stationary over the center of the platform. m3 03

In the design of a supermarket, there are to be several rampsconnecting different parts of the store. Customers will haveto push grocery carts up the ramps and it is desirable thatthis not be too difficult. The engineer has done a survey andfound that almost no one complains if the force requiredis no more than 18 N. Ignoring friction, at what maximumangle θ should the ramps be built, assuming a full 25-kg cart?
