A BLOCK ON A 25° –INCLINED PLANE IS BEING PULLED UP THE PLANE BY A FORCE P THAT MAKES AN ANGLE OF 40° WITH THE HORIZONTAL. IF P IS RESOLVED INTO COMPONENTS THAT ARE PARALLEL AND PERPENDICULAR TO THE INCLINED PLANE, AND THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PARALLEL COMPONENT IS 1000 DYN, WHAT IS THE MAGNITUDE OF P?
In Fig, a slab of mass m1 =40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 =10kg rests on top of the slab.

In the figures, the masses are hung from an elevator ceiling. Assume the velocity of the elevator is constant. Find the tensions in the ropes (in N) for each case. Note that θ1 = 35.0°, θ2 = 55.0°, θ3 = 59.0°, m1 = 6.00 kg, and m2 = 11.0 kg.
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. This time the magnet has mass 6.78 kg and the force pulling it to the right is 175.5 N. When the magnet hits the floor, it continues being pulled to the right by the same…
