- If you hang a car with a mass of 1770 kg from a steel beam, you observe that the beam bends 0.095 degrees. What is the tension in this beam, in newtons? Using the equation T=F/(2*sin(theta))arrow_forwardIn comparing two unequal forces on a rigid body, is it possible to have the larger force produce lesstorque than the smaller force?a. Yes b. Noarrow_forwardFind the magnitude of the tension in each supporting cable shown below. In each case, the weight of the suspended body is 100.0 N and the masses of the cables are negligible.arrow_forward
- Two blocks A and B are connected by a horizontal bar whose mass is negligible. The mass of block A is 100-kg and the mass of block B is 50-kg. What force P will just prevent the blocks from slipping down the plane?The coefficient of friction between block A and the inclined surface is o.20, while that of block B and the inclined surface is 0.30.arrow_forwardA 4.0 kg block is on the verge of sliding down an inclined plane with a θ-degree angle of incline. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.7536, what is largest possible value of the angle θ?arrow_forwardA telephone pole is supported by a guy wire which exerts a pull of 300 N on the top of the pole. If the angle between the wire the pole is 60 degrees, what is the vertical component of the pull on the pole?arrow_forward
- What is the force exerted by the string on the wall at point A in the figure if the suspended fish has mass m = 0.55 kg?arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forwardWhy would it be a dangerous mistake for a bungee jumper to use a steel cable instead of an elastic cord?arrow_forward
- A block of mass 4.20 kg is pushed up against a wall by a force P that makes an angle of θ = 50.0°angle with the horizontal as shown below. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.270.arrow_forwardA block weighing mA = 10 kg is placed on a plane with slope angle 30.0 degrees and is connected to a hanging weight of mass mB by a cord passing over a small frictionless pulley as shown in the picture. The coefficient of static friction is 0.42, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.30. If the two blocks are moving, what is the force of friction?arrow_forwardWhat is the magnitude of the static friction force required to keep a 2.00 kg block resting on an inclined plane at an angle 25 degrees? If the angle was increased, such that the incline plane was steeper, would the magnitude of the static friction force required to hold the block at rest increase, decrease, or stay the same?arrow_forward
