A fisherman has caught a fish on his pole, and to keep the pole steady he has to apply an upward force of F2 = 265 N at an angle of 58° with respect to the pole (see figure). The length of his pole is 3.2 m, and he is holding it a distance 0.65 m from the end, where he is applying a downward force F1. Part (a) With how much force, F1, in newtons, does he have to push straight downward on the end of his pole to keep the pole from moving? You may assume the pole is massless. Part (b) What is the mass of the fish on the end of the pole, in kilograms?

Consider the yo-yo (of mass M and outer radius R) shown in the figure, where the string is being pulled with a force of magnitude F (F < M g) at an angle θ to the horizontal. The radius of the inner axis is r (so that r < R). Assume that the angle ranges from 0 to π/2, and the coefficient of static friction with the ground is very large. 1)Enter an expression for the critical angle (in radians, between 0 and π / 2) at which the yo-yo will remain motionless. Use γ = r / R to simplify your expression.
