In Fig. 12-30, trying to gel his car out of mud, a man ties one end of a rope around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 18 m away. He then pushes sideways on the rope at its midpoint with a force of 550 N, displacing the center of the rope 0.30 m, but the car barely moves. What is the magnitude of the force on the car from the rope? (The rope stretches somewhat.)

- 2) A student’s head is bent over her physics book. The head weighs P = 24.6 N and is supported by the muscle force F→mF→m exerted by the neck extensor muscles and by the contact force F→cF→c exerted at the atlantooccipital joint. Given that the magnitude of F→mF→m is 60.0 N and is directed 35.0° below the horizontal. a.) Find the magnitude of the contact force F→cF→c . b.)Find the direction of the contact force Fc−→Fc→ . If the direction is below the horizontal, enter a negative value.arrow_forwardIf a particle or a body is in equilibrium under the action of three forces, what can you say about the lines of action of the three forces?arrow_forwardA (В (С (D Students are doing an experiment near an empty pool. A student of mass 40 kg is standing on one end of a board as the board hangs over the pool as shown. The board is of uniform density, has a length L, and is positioned such that the pivot point is L/3 from the end of the board. The board is just about to tip over into the pool. How far from the pivot point must a 60 kg student stand so that the board is just about to tip over? E 2L/9 2L/3 L/3 L/2 ← 3L/2 -L/3- Board L Pool <arrow_forward
- One end of a uniform { = 4.30-m-long rod of weight w is supported by a cable at an angle of 0 = 37° with the rod. The other end rests against a wall, where it is held by friction (see figure). The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is µ. = 0.490. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight w (the same as the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A. B Need Help?

The bar is maintained in its horizontal orientation by a longer cable, attached from the end of the rod to the wall. The long cable makes an angle with the bar and has tension Fr. The mass of the bar is not negligible. The cables are assumed to have uniform linear density, the hinge is assumed to be frictionless and to have negligible radius, and the mass of the bar is assumed to be uniformly distributed along the length of the bar. Students calculate the theoretical tension in the long cable and then measure the actual tension in the cable. The measured tension is more than the theoretical tension. If the measurement is correct, which of the following could account for the discrepancy? B C D The radius of the hinge is not negligible. The linear density of the short cable increases vertically.
