Two EMTS are carrying a person on a stretcher. The weight of the person and the stretcher is 600 N. 1. If both of them carry the stretcher at the same angle, 60° above the horizontal. Each of them exerts (less, same, more) amount of force as the other paramedic. (1) 2. Draw an FBD. (4) 3. Find the y- components exerted forces by the paramedics. (4) 4. Find the x- components exerted forces by the paramedics. (2) 5. Find the forces exerted by the EMTS. (3) 6. If the paramedics did not carry the stretcher at the same angle, the person carries it at a (larger/smaller) angle, compares to the horizontal, would exert more force. Explain your answer. (1)

The helicopter view in Fig. P3.15 shows two people pulling on a stubborn mule. The person on the right pulls with a force F1 of magnitude 120 X and direction of 1 = 60.0. The person on the left pulls with a force F2 of magnitude 80.0 N and direction of 2 = 75.0. Find (a) the single force that is equivalent to the two forces shown and (b) the force that a third person would have to exert on the mule to make the resultant force equal to zero. The forces are measured in units of newtons (symbolized N). Figure P3.15
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 bag of cement weighing 325 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires as suggested in Figure P5.33. Two of the wires make angles 1 = 60.0 and 2 = 40.0 with the horizontal. Assuming the system is in equilibrium, find the tensions T1, T2 and T3 in the wires. Figure P5.33 Problems 33 and 34.
A mountain climber practices his technique in a mountain climbing school by balancing while suspended by two ropes attached to the ceiling. As shown by the figure, the left rope makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal ceiling and the right rope makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal ceiling. If the right rope has tension T1=322 N, what is the weight of the mountain climber?
