Chapter 6, Problem 30PCE

BIO Spiderweb Forces An orb-weaver spider sits in her web that is supported by three radial strands as shown in Figure 6-47. Assume that only the radial strands contribute to supporting the weight of the spider If the mass of the spider is 5.2 × 10⁻⁴ and the radial strands are all under the same tension, find the magnitude of the tension, T.

An 85 kg man tries to pull himself up the face of a boulder using a rope hooked to a tree above it. The face of the boulder created a 50.0° angle with the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction between his shoes and the boulder is 0.350, will he make it up if he pulls with 550. N of force? Remember his shoes will try to slip backwards when considering friction.

A chandelier hangs h = 0.74 m down from two chains of equal length. The chains are separated from one another by a length L = 0.85 m at the ceiling. The chandelier has a mass of m = 28 kg. What is the angle, θ in degrees, between one of the chains and the vertical where it contacts the chandelier?

You are holding a book of mass 10.7 kg that is initially at rest against a vertical wall by exerting a force of magnitudeF Yb = 100.8 N at an angle of θ = 34.7 degrees, as indicated in the figure.If the coefficients of friction between the book and the wall are μs = 0.46 and μk = 0.36, find the magnitude of thefrictional force from the wall on the book.
