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 bar whose mass and length are 55.0 kg and 8.00 m, respectively is supported by two light cables as shown. An 87.0 kg painter stands 1.25 m from the left end of the bar, and his equipment is 2.25 m from the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice as the right cable, what are the tensions in the cable and the mass of the equipment?
A wooden plank with a mass of 50.968 kg is supprted by two cable at its ends. At what location should a box of mass 20.387 kg be placed for one cable to exert a force of 125 N more than the other cable? Note: the location is the distance from each cable please show full solution, figure and fbd.
The board sandwiched between two other boards in Figure P4.77 weighs 95.5 N. If the coefficient of friction between the boards is 0.663, what must be the magnitude of the compression forces (assumed to be horizontal) acting on both sides of the center board to keep it from slipping?
A uniform 37.0 kg scaffold of length 6.2 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below. An 82.0 kg painter stands 1.0 m from the left end of the scaffold, and his painting equipment is 1.6 mfrom the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables (in N) and the mass of the equipment (in kg). (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations).
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:
Consider the person lifting a heavy box with his back, shown in Figure,The mass of the upper body is 55.0 kg and the mass of the box is 30.0 kg.Calculate the magnitude of the force FB –in the back muscles that is needed to support the upper body plus the box and compare this with his weight.
Suppose the weight of the drawbridge in the figure is supported entirely by its hinges and the opposite shore, so that its cables are slack. The mass of the bridge is 2500 kg. What percent of the weight is supported by the opposite shore if the point of support is at the very end of the drawbridge? What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the force the hinges exert on the bridge under these circumstances?
a ladder 4m long is leaning against a frictionless wall with its lower end 1.6m away from the wall. if the ladder weighs 150n, what forcesdoes it exert on the wall F1 and on the ground F2? show step by step solution with fbd
A 500.-N uniform rectangular sign 4.00 mwide and 3.00 m high is suspended from ahorizontal, 6.00-m-long, uniform, 100.-N rodas indicated in Figure P8.25. The left end ofthe rod is supported by a hinge, and the rightend is supported by a thin cable making a30.0° angle with the vertical. (a) Find the tensionT in the cable. (b) Find the horizontaland vertical components of force exerted onthe left end of the rod by the hinge.
A uniform 37.0 kg scaffold of length 5.8 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below. A 78.0 kg painter stands 1.0 m from the left end of the scaffold, and his painting equipment is 1.3 m from the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables (in N) and the mass of the equipment (in kg). (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) Tension in the left cable
. A tightly stretched horizontal “high wire” is 36 m long. Itsags vertically 2.1 m when a 60.0-kg tightrope walker standsat its center. What is the tension in the wire? Is it possibleto increase the tension in the wire so that there is no sag?
