A small object with mass 0.200 kg swings back and forth on the lower end of a light rope that is 3.00 m long. The upper end of the rope is attached to the ceiling. As the object swings through its lowest position, where the rope is vertical, the speed of the object is 4.50 m/s. At this point in the motion, what is the tension in the rope? (Use g = 9.80 m/s2.)

Review. A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is released from rest at h = 0.500 m above the surface of a table, at the top of a = 30.0 incline as shown in Figure P4.53.

The systems shown in Figure P4.58 are in equilibrium. If the spring scales are calibrated in newtons, what do they read? Ignore the masses of the pulleys and strings and assume the pulleys and the incline in Figure P4.58d are frictionless. Figure P4.58
In Figure P3.55, a spider is resting after starting to spin its web. The gravitational force on the spider makes it exert a downward force of 0.150 N on the junction of the three strands of silk. The junction is supported by different tension forces in the two strands above it so that the resultant force on the junction is zero. The two sloping strands are perpendicular, and we have chosen the x and y directions to be along them. The tension Tx is 0.127 N. Find (a) the tension Ty, (b) the angle the x axis makes with the horizontal, and (c) the angle the y axis makes with the horizontal.
