A "swing" ride at a carnival consists of chairs that are swung in a circle of radius 12.0 m by 13.7 m cables attached to a vertical rotating pole, as the drawing shows. Suppose the total mass of a chair and its occupant is 243 kg. Find the tension in the cable. Specify your answer as an integer i.e. without decimal places, in Sl units. Do not include units.

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.

If we want to find the size of the force necessary to just barely overcome static friction (in which case fs=μsN), we use the condition that the sum of the forces in both directions must be 0. Using some basic trigonometry, we can write this condition out for the forces in both the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, as: Fcosθ−μsN=0 Fsinθ+N−mg=0 In order to find the magnitude of force F, we have to solve a system of two equations with both F and the normal force N unknown. Use the methods we have learned to find an expression for F in terms of m, g, θ, and μs (no N) What are the steps to solve this?
