Q. 2 Below is a diagram of a lamp (mass 10. kg) stably suspended by two mass less cables anchored to a ball and balcony. The angles made by these two cables with the horizontal are = 30° and 0= 60° respectively. We wish to calculate the tensions T1 and T2 in the two cables. Do the following: (a) Using a ruler, complete the *qualitative* FBD of the situation directly on the diagram given. The weight of the lamp has been drawn for you. Be sure to show all the force components of T1 and T2 in the vertical and horizontal dimensions. Use the parallelogram rule to guide you. balcony T2? wall T1? Lamp (10. kg) WEL (b) Based on your FBD, set up two force equations describing the equilibrium situation in the x- and dimensions respectively. Y- (c) Use the two simultaneous equations above to solve for the two tensions (use additional pages as necessary)

Consider the situation shown in the figure below, except assume that the table is inclined at an angle of 22°, with the pulley at the top of the incline. Does block A slide up or down the incline? Assume that the table is frictionless, mA = 0.72 kg, mB = 0.24 kg, and that the masses of the pulley and string are negligible.
Can you help me with this physics problem? There are three masses: m0 at the orgin, m1 at (a,0) and m2 at (0,-b). What is the force on m0 due to the other two masses in vector form
I don't understand why Fs <= Fk. What does the F in (1) and (2) stand for? If it's force applied, wouldn't F = Fs + Fk for box 2, and (F - Fs - Fk) = Fs for box 1? My thinking is that the Force applied on box 2 minus the force of kinetic friction and the force of static friction applied by Box 1 on 2 would equal to the net force. Then the net force of box 2 would cause the same netforce on box 1, if box 1 isn't moving, then it's Fs should be equal to that net force applied on box 1. Therefore Force applied wouldn't be equal to Static Friction Force, and shouldn't it be bigger than the Kinetic Friction Force since it's moving in the direction of Force applied?
