An adventurous archaeologist crosses between two rock cliffs by slowly going hand-over-hand along a rope stretched between the cliffs. He stops to rest at the middle of the rope (Figure 1). The rope will break if the tension in it exceeds 2.55×104 NN , and our hero's mass is 87.6 kgkg . 1. If the angle between the rope and the horizontal is θθtheta = 11.1 ∘∘, find the tension in the rope. 2. What is the smallest value the angle θθ can have if the rope is not to break?

Problem 1 A motorcyclist wants to perform the “Wall of Death” stunt. In this stunt, the rider will drive a motorcycle around the inside of a circular, vertical wall (you can see examples of this on YouTube if you search for “motorcycle stunt wall of death”). If the rider moves too slowly, then friction will not be large enough to oppose gravity and keep the motorcycle from falling. Let’s do som calculations to help the rider out. (A) Draw a free body diagram of the motorcycle and rider while they are moving around the vertical wall. (B) For this particular stunt, the radius of the wall is r = 5.0 m, and the rider wants to go at a constant v = 14 m/s. What will the rider’s centripetal acceleration be? (C) How much larger is this than g, the accerelation due to gravity near the surface of Earth?
