Chapter 5, Problem 34PE
A 20.0-m tall hollow aluminum flagpole is equivalent in stiffness to a solid cylinder 4.00 cm in diameter. A strong wind bends the pole much as a horizontal force of 900 N exerted at the top would. How far to the side does the top of the pole flex?

The board sandwiched between two other boards in Figure P4.77 weighs 95.5 N. If the coefficient of friction between the boards is 0.663, what must be the magnitude of the compression forces (assumed to be horizontal) acting on both sides of the center board to keep it from slipping?
A 90-m wire is suspended between two points at the same elevation that are 60 m apart. Knowing that the maximum tension is 300 N, determine (a) the sag of the wire, (b) the total mass of the wire.
A bag of cement whose weight is Fg hangs in equilibrium from threewires as shown. Two of the wires make angles θ1 and θ2 with the horizontal. Assuming the system is in equilibrium, show that the tension in the left-hand wire is T1 = (Fg cos θ2)/(sin (θ1 + θ2))

- Scientists have studied how snakes grip and climb ropes. In one study, they found that an important characteristic of a rope is its “compliance”— that is, how easily the rope, while under tension, can be flexed. As shown how scientists measured a rope’s compliance by attaching it to two strings, each supporting an identical mass m. The strings contort the rope so that its middle section lies at angle θ.
