A string is wrapped many times around a cylinder, covering its surface. The cylinder is placed on a plane inclined at angle e above horizontal. The end of the string is directed horizontally, where it is attached, thereby holding the cylinder in place. The coefficient of friction between the string-covered cylinder and the plane is p Determine the maximum value of e for which the cylinder will remain in place and not start to move down the plane with the string unwinding.

The sphere at A is given a downward velocity v0 of magnitude 5 m/s and swings in a vertical plane at the end of a rope of length I= 2 m attached to a support at O. Determine the angle 0 at which the rope will break, knowing that it can withstand a maximum tension equal to twice the weight of the sphere.
a thin horizontal bar AB of negligible weight and length L is hinged to a vertical wall at A and supported at B by a thin wire BC that makes an angle u with the horizontal.

A 1.50×103 kg car, whose front is facing to the right (towards +x-axis) and whose engine is turned off and in neutral, is held at rest on a frictionless ramp using a cable whose one end is attached to the car’s front at an angle 27.0◦ with respect to the ramp’s surface. The other end of the cable is attached to a wall perpendicular to the horizontal and the ramp is raised 30.0◦ above the horizontal. c. Suppose the wall where the other end of the cable was attached was replaced by a rotating motor. If the car is now accelerating towards the peak of the ramp at 3.00 m/s2 due to the rotating motor, how much tension is being exerted by the cable on the car?
