Give the Given, Required and complete solution with formula A nail is attached to a cemented ground and can be taken out by a minimum force of 35.0 N upward and perpendicular to the ground. You are given the task of removing this nail by tying eight strings to the head of the nail symmetrically arranged around the nail. Due to physical circumstances, you are not allowed to pull the strings directly upward perpendicular to the ground but with a 49.00 inclination with respect to the ground. Calculate the minimum tension for each string so as to pull out the nail from the ground.

In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tee 15 m away as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 400 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.30 m, as shown. What is the force of the rope on the car?
A uniform horizontal strut weighs 400.0 N. One end of the strut is attached to a hinged support the wall and the other end of the strut is attached to a sign that weighs 200.0 N The strut is also supported by a cable attached between the end of the strut and the wall. Assuming that the entire weight of the sign is attached at the very end of the s find the tension in the cable and the force at the hinge of the strut.
A uniform beam of weight 39 N and length 6.0 m is mounted by a small hinge on a wall at it left end. The beam is held in a horizontal position by a vertical rope at the location as shown. What is the magnitude of the tension force in the rope, in Newtons?
The figure shows three boards clamped together. The center board weighs 93.5 N, and the coefficient of static friction between the boards is 0.490. What is the minimum magnitude of the horizontal compression forces (in N) acting on either side of the center board so it does not slip?
A uniform plank of length 2.00 m and mass 26.0 kg is supported by three ropes, as indicated by the blue vectors in the figure below. Find the tension in each rope when a 710–N person is d = 0.500 m from the left end. Answer the 3 boxes below:
Jack and Rose are carrying a uniform rod that is 3.00m long and weighs 160.N. If Rose lifts at one end with an upward force equal to 60.0N, how far from Rose should Jack lift so that the rod will be horizontal and in equilibrium?
A uniform drawbridge must be held at a 36.5 angle above the horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weighs 45000 N, is 14.0 m long, and pivots about a hinge at its lower end. A cable is connected 4.00 m from the hinge, as measured along the bridge, and pulls horizontally on the bridge to hold it in place. A) What is the tension in the cable? Express your answer in newtons. B) Find the magnitude of the force the hinge exerts on the bridge. Express your answer in newtons. C) Find the direction of the force the hinge exerts on the bridge. Express your answer in degrees. D) If the cable suddenly breaks, what is the initial angular acceleration of the bridge? Express your answer in radians per second squared.
A uniform picute frane weighing 10.0 N is supported as shown in the image, where the right side cable makes an angle of 50 degrees with the horizontal direction. Find the tension in the cords and the magnitude of the horizontal force F required to hold the frame in the position shown.
In an isometric exercise a person places a hand on a scale and pushes vertically downward, keeping the forearm horizontal. This is possible because the triceps muscle applies an upward force M perpendicular to the arm, as the drawing indicates. The forearm weighs 24.0 N and has a center of gravity as indicated. The scale registers 103 N. Determine the magnitude of M. N
The following figure shows a 4 m bar attached to the wall through a hinge that rotates freely, but is tied to the wall at its other end so that the system is in equilibrium. If the bar weighs 40 N and the tension in the rope is 20 N, find the angle of inclination θ (theta) that the bar makes with the x-axis and the magnitude of the reaction force at the hinge.
The uniform bars AB and BC are connected with a pin at B and placed on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the bars and the surface is μs = 0.85. Can the bars be in equilibrium in the position shown?
One end of a uniform 3.80-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable at an angle of ? = 37° with the rod. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is ?s = 0.475. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional object, also with the same weight Fg, can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.
