17. (II) Two blocks, with masses ma and mg, are connected to each other and to a central post by thin rods as shown in Fig. 5–41. The blocks revolve about the post at the same frequency f (revolutions per second) on a frictionless horizontal surface at distances ra and ľg from the post. Derive an algebraic expression for the tension in each rod. FIGURE 5-41 mB Problem 17. 'B

A 76 kg tight rope walker takes a break when walking across a tight rope. The angle e in the picture is 14°. What is the tension in the rope? Ta 0 A
6) a 2000kg pick up truck experiences 150N of air resistance and a 200N of rolling resistance (this is due to the deformation of the tires). How large is the force exerted by the road on the drive wheels if the car is traveling (a) at a constant speed of 30 m/s and (b) with an acceleration of 0.1 m/s².
A block of mass 1.96kg is accelerated across a rough surface by a rope passing over a pulley, as shown in the figure below. The tension in the rope is 14.0N, and the pulley is 10.8cm above the top of the block. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.350. Calculate the value of x at which the acceleration becomes zero.
A tutor told me that the answer to 1b was 10N but I don't understand why it would be 10N for the tension. If that is correct could someone break it down for me?
I have tried 16.7x10^3, 16.7x10^4, and 1.365x10^8 and those are all wrong for the first part. I know that the second part is 14.3 hr. I need to know the km/s. Thank you!!
