In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
At a museum, a 1300-kg model aircraft is hung from a lightweight beam of length 12.0 m that is free to pivot about its base and is supported by a massless cable (Fig. P14.38). Ignore the mass of the beam. a. What is the tension in the section of the cable between the beam and the wall? b. What are the horizontal and vertical forces that the pivot exerts on the beam? FIGURE P14.38 (a) From the free-body diagram, the angle that the string tension makes with the beam is = 55.0 + 18.0 = 73.0, and the perpendicular component of the string tension is FT sin73.0.

The large quadriceps muscle in the upper leg terminates at its lower end in a tendon attached to the upper end of the tibia (see Figure a). The forces on the lower leg when the leg is extended are modeled as in Figure b, where T is the force of tension in the tendon, w is the force of gravity acting on the lower leg, and F is the force of gravity acting on the foot. Find T when the tendon is at an angle of 25.0° with the tibia, assuming that w = 29.0 N, F = 12.3 N, and the leg is extended at an angle ? of 40.0° with the vertical. Assume that the center of gravity of the lower leg is at its center and that the tendon attaches to the lower leg at a point one-fifth of the way down the leg. (Give the magnitude.)
