A mountain climber, in the process of crossing between two cliffs by a rope, pauses to rest. She weighs 525 N. As the drawing shows, she is closer to the left cliff than to the right cliff, with the result that the tensions in the left and right sides of the rope are not the same. Find the tensions in the rope to the left and to the right of the mountain climber. 80.0⁰ TL= i TR= i -65.0°

A bag of cement weighing 325 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires as suggested in Figure P4.23. Two of the wires make angles 1 = 60.0 and 2 = 40.0 with the horizontal. Assuming the system is in equilibrium, find the tensions T1, T2, and T3 in the wires. Figure P4.23 Problems 23 and 24.
In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot to one side or the other. Two students pull with force 196 N each to the light, four students pull with force 98 N each to the left, five students pull with force 62 N each to the left, three students pull with force 150 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 250 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the tight, express the net pull on the knot in terms of the unit vector. How big is the net pull on the knot? In what direction?
A force of magnitude 9.65 N pushes three boxes with mass M1=1.30 kg, and M2=3.20 kg, and M3=4.90 kg. what is the magnitude of the contact force that boxes 1 and 2 exert on each other? what is the magnitude of the contact force that boxes 2 and 3 exert on each other?

Three force are exerted on an object placed on a tilted floor. The three forces are directed as shown in the figure. If the forces have magnitudes F1=1.0N, F2=8.0N and F3=7.0N. What is the component of the net force Fnet=F1+F2+F3 parallel to the floor?
Two forces P Y Q act on an object of mass 14.0 kg, where Q the greater of the two forces. When both forces are directed to the left, the magnitude of the object's acceleration is 0.900 m / s2. However, when the force P heads to the left and force Q is heading to the right, the object has an acceleration of 0.400 m / s2 to the right. Find the magnitudes of the two forces P Y Q in newtons. find: P= Q=
