A 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?
A block of mass m₁ = 3.70 kg on a frictionless plane inclined at an angle of 30.0° is connected by a cord over a massless, frictionless pulley to a second block of mass m₂ = 2.30 kg. What are (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of each block, (b) the direction of the acceleration of the hanging block, and (c) the tension in the cord? Please show a simple diagram or illustration for this problem. Thank you!
As you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it. In the figure below, a force ₁ of magnitude 6.80 units acts on a box at the origin in a direction 0 = 29.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the box in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the resultant force ₁ + F2. magnitude direction F₂ F₁ i units ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
Instructions Use g = 10 m/s2 Always answer in standard units (SI units). Unless otherwise instructed. Answer to 2 decimal places. Unless otherwise instructed. A 5 kg block is placed on top of a 10 kg block. A horizontal force of 45 N is applied to the 10 kg block, and the 5 kg block is tied to the wall. The coefficient of kinetic friction between all moving surfaces is 0.2. Find the magnitude of the tension in the string holding the 5.0 block.

Your answer is partially correct. In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles shown in the picture. The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls. Alex pulls with force F A of magnitude 205 N, and Charles pulls with force F c of magnitude 184 N. Note that the direction of F c is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty's force F B if Charles pulls in (a) the direction drawn in the picture or (b) the other possible direction for equilibrium? Alex Charles 144° Betty (a) Number 304.72 Units N (b) Number 49.1 Units
Four forces act on an object, given by A = 38.3 N east, B = 45.3 N north, C = 70.7 N west, and D = 88.7 N south. (Assume east and north are directed along the +x-axis and +y-axis, respectively.)
