A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
Tarzan, who weighs 820 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a 20.0 m vine that hangs from a high tree limb and initially makes an angle of 22.0 with the vertical. Assume that an x axis extends horizontally away from the cliff edge and a y axis extends upward. Immediately after Tarzan steps off the cliff, the tension in the vine is 760 N. Just then, what are (a) the force on him from the vine in unit-vector notation and the net force on him (b) in unit-vector notation and as (c) a magnitude and (d) an angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis? What are the (e) magnitude and (f) angle of Tarzan’s acceleration just then?

An electron is a subatomic particle (m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg) that is subject to electric forces. An electron moving in the +x direction accelerates from an initial velocity of +7.11 x 105 m/s to a final velocity of 2.21 x 106 m/s while traveling a distance of 0.0678 m. The electron's acceleration is due to two electric forces parallel to the x axis: = 7.82 x 10-17 N, and , which points in the -x direction. Find the magnitudes of (a) the net force acting on the electron and (b) the electric force
It is one question, please help with all. A magnet of mass 3.03 kg is suspended from the ceiling by a cord as shown. A large magnet is somewhere off to the right, pulling on the small hanging magnet with a constant force of F = 134.8 N. At what angle theta with respect to the vertical does the magnet hang? 12.4 degrees 63.0 degrees 30.2 degrees 77.6 degreesConsider the same situation as in the previous problem. This time the magnet has mass 6.94 kg and the force pulling the magnet to the right has magnitude 116.9 N. What is the magnitude of the tension force in the cord? 163.7 N 135.3 N 185.0 N 224.2 NSame situation as in the previous two problems this time the magnet s mass is 5.69 kg and the magnetic force pulling it to the right is 154.7 N. The length of the cord is 1.31 m, and the ceiling is 2.63 m above the floor. Suppose that you cut the cord and the magnet falls to the floor while still being pulled to the right by the…
