A 20.8-kg chandelier hangs from a ceiling on a vertical 3.51-m-long wire. What horizontal force (in N) would be necessary to displace its position 0.719 m to one side?
Logs weighing 1.3 kg and 2.2 kg lie on a flat surface and are connected by a rope that breaks at a force of 20 N. The coefficient of friction between the lighter log and the base is 0.50, and between the heavier log and the base 0.30. With what maximum force can we pull the lighter log so that the string does not break?
How much tension must a 28.0 m long wire be able to exert without breaking when it is used to hang an iron sculpture that weighs 2784 N? The wire must be attached to two
anchors in the ceiling 16.1 m apart.
