A monkey of mass m = 10.0 kg is holding on to two vines each of length l = 3.00 m. The vines form an angle with the horizontal of 40.0 degrees (see figure). The monkey is not moving and the vines are considered massless and not stretchable. a. What is the distance d between the mounting points of the vines at the top? b. Draw a free body diagram of the monkey and indicate all forces.

A filled treasure chest of mass m with a long rope tied around its center lies in the middle of a room. Dirk wishes to drag the chest, but there is friction between the chest and the floor with a coefficient of static friction s. If the angle between the rope and the floor is , what is the magnitude of the tension required to just get the chest moving? Express your answer in terms of m, s, , and g.
a. What are the conditions for static equilibrium? b. A 30.0 kg post is supported by two wires as shown. The post is 2.00 m long and a 5.00 kg wreath hangs 1.50 m from one end. Use the conditions for static equilibrium from part (a) to find the tension in each wire. Include a free body diagram as part of your answer.
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?
(a) A student stands a distance d = 0.350 m from the left end of a platform as shown in the figure. The platform is supported by three ropes. Find the tension in each rope (in N). Assume the platform is uniform, with length L = 2.00 m and mass 30.5 kg, and the weight of the student is 680 N. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) At what location does this occur (measured in m from the left end of the platform)?
A table of mass 15 kg and length 6 m stands on a flat horizontal surface. A package is placed on the table. If the normal forces of the left legs on the table are 220 N and the normal forces of the right legs on the table are 180 N: A. What is the mass of the package? B. How far from the left end of the table is the package?
A uniform straight bar 2.00 m long and weighing 450 N is supported by two cables at its ends to the roof of a house. Cable 1 on the left end can withstand a maximum tension of 600 N without breaking, while Cable 2 on the right end can withstand a maximum tension of 500 N.You want to put additional weight on that bar. Calculate: (a) What is the maximum weight you can place on the bar without breaking any of the cables? (b) Where should you place this weight on the bar?
Anna is pulling the spring balance on the left while bryle is pulling it on the right as shown in the figure below. If the reading in anna's spring balance is 28 N, what will be the reading in Bryle's spring balance? A.-9.8N B.38.0N C.9.8N D.28.0N 2.no matter how you stretch a rope, it still curves down at the center when you hang something on it. What explains this? A. The mass of the rope acts on its center of mass. In the same way, gravitational force also acts upward. If the tension force will not contain any vertical components, the net force brings about a upward acceleration for the rope B. The mass of the rope acts on its center of mass. In the same way, gravitational force also acts downward. If the tension force will not contain any vertical components, the net force brings a upward acceleration for the rope. C. The mass of the rope acts on its center of mass. In the same way, gravitational force also acts upward. If the tension force will not contain any vertical…
Suppose you use an ideal pulley of the type shown in image (a) in the figure below to support a car engine of mass 140 kg. (a) What would be the tension in newtons in the rope?

A horizontal beam of length 4.08m and weight 130N is attached to a vertical wall at a right angle. There is also a support wire of length 5.04m which attaches the far end of the beam to the wall from above. Off of the far end of the beam also hangs an object of weight 330 N. (a) What is the magnitude of the tension in the support wire? (b) What is the horizontal component of the force exerted on the beam at the wall? (c) What is the vertical component of the force exerted on the beam at the wall?
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?
