Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle? FIGURE P5.76
The person in Figure P5.6 weighs 170 lb. As seen from the front, each light crutch makes an angle of 22.0 with the vertical. Half of the persons weight is supported by the crutches. The other half is supported by the vertical forces of the ground on the persons feet. Assuming that the person is moving with constant velocity and the force exerted by the ground on the crutches acts along the crutches, determine (a) the smallest possible coefficient of friction between crutches and ground and (b) the magnitude of the compression force in each crutch.

A 10.0-kg object is initially moving east at 15.0 m/ s. Then a force acts on it for 2.00 s, after which it moves northwest, also at 15.0 m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the average force that acted on the object over the 2.00-s interval?
The leg and cast in Figure P4.40 weigh 220 N (w1). Determine the weight w2 and the angle needed so that no force is exerted on the hip joint by the leg plus the cast. Figure P4.40
A baseball catcher is performing a stunt for a television commercial. He will catch a baseball (mass 145 g) dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His glove stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball?
Consider the object subject to the three forces in Figure 12.3. Choose the correct statement with regard to this situation from the choices (a)(d) in Quick Quiz 12.1. Figure 12.3 (Quick Quiz 12.2) Three forces act on an object. Notice that the lines of action of all three forces pass through a common point.
Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts a force of 75.0 N, the second a force of 90.0 N, friction is 12.0 N, and the mass of the third child plus wagon is 23.0 kg. (a) What is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated? (b) Draw a free-body diagram, including all forces acting on the system. (c) Calculate the acceleration. (d) What would the acceleration be if friction were 15.0 N?
Four pets named Arjay, Baguilat, Cuh-ing, and Dabest play a pulling game with a rope as shown below. Arjay pulls strongly with 610.0 units of force (N). Baguilat pulls with a force of magnitude B = 200.0 N, and Cuh-ing pulls with aforce of magnitude C = 140.0 N. When Dabest pulls on the rope in such a way that his force balances out the resultantof the other three forces, the rope does not move in any direction. With how much force and in what direction mustDabest pull on the rope for the situation to happen? I need help in figuring out is the magnitude of Dabest's pulling force? the direction(use method 1: zero-degree reference line) of Dabest's pulling force and What is the direction(use method 2: geographical direction) of Dabest's pulling force?
A girl is sledding down a slope that is inclined at 30º with respect to the horizontal. The wind is aiding the motion by providing a steady force of 197 N that is parallel to the motion of the sled. The combined mass of the girl and the sled is 79.1 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the runners of the sled is 0.289. How much time is required for the sled to travel down a 164-m slope, starting from rest?
Your 1300 kg car won’t start, so you attach it to your friends Jeep using a rope that can support a maximum tension of 2.5 kN without breaking. What is the furthest you can move the car by pulling on it with this rope for 4.0 s?
When landing from a jump, Andy applied an average vertical force of -2500 N to the ground in order to slow down the vertical velocity of his center of gravity. What was the average acceleration of his center of gravity in the vertical direction once ground contact was made? (weight = -760 N; mass = 77.5 kg)
A block of mass m2 on a rough, horizontal surface is connected to a ball of mass m1 by a lightweight cord over a lightweight, frictionless pulley as shown in 5.21a. A force of magnitude F at an angle θ with the horizontal is applied to the block as shown, and the block slides to the right. The coefficient ofkinetic friction between the block and surface is μk. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the two objects.
