A designer is trying to determine the type of wire to use for a pendant light that will hang from the ceiling of an elevator. The wire can withstand a force of 75 N before breaking. Therefore, the upward force on the lamp, called tension, cannot exceed 75 N. The lamp also experiences a 48-N force, called weight, in the downward direction. What is the maximum upward acceleration the elevator can have before the wire breaks? The lamp has a mass of 4.3 kg. m = 4.3 kg a

An athlete is pulling a tire that weighs 12,000 N. The coefficient of static friction between the tire and the ground is 0.42. If the angle that the rope makes with the horizontal is 24 degrees, what is the magnitude of the force that the woman must exert on the rope to just get the tire to start moving?
A person whose weight is 516 N is being pulled up vertically by a rope from the bottom of a cave that is 30.5 m deep. The maximum tension that the rope can withstand without breaking is 593 N. What is the shortest time, starting from rest, in which the person can be brought out of the cave?

OK, one more time. This time the magnet has mass 6.05 kg and the force pulling it to the right is 81.2 N. When the magnet hits the floor, it continues being pulled to the right by the same magnetic force as before. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the magnet and the floor is 0.335. What will the magnet s acceleration be as it slides to the right along the floor? (Assume static friction is overcome and the magnet will slide.)
