A magnet of mass 4.72 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 = 57.1 N. At what angle theta ?with respect to the vertical does the magnet hang? Consider the same situation as in the previous problem. This time the magnet has mass 6.62 kg and the force pulling the magnet to the right has magnitude 180.6 N. What is the magnitude of the tension force in the cord? Same situation as in the previous problem this time the magnet has mass 7.25 kg, the force pulling it to the right is 111.3 N, the cord has length 0.54 m and the ceiling is 2.82 m above the floor. How far to the right of its start point will the magnet have traveled when it hits the floor after the cord is cut? OK, one more time.
