a dog weighing 54.3 N sits on a plank that makes a 25.0 degree angle with the ground. Find the components of the dog's weight force parallel and perpendicular to the plank.
The following figure and situation are to be used for questions 1 to 4. An object, attached at the origin, point O, is being pulled by three ropes, A, B, and C, as shown in the figure. The tension produced in these ropes are as follows: TOA: 1 500 N, along the x-y plane, 36.9" from the positive x-axis, and 53.1 from the positive y-axis ToB: -800i +800j+400k N Toc: 1 697 N, pointing towards (-1,1,-4) N B y 0 C (-1,1,-4) 36.9° A
A 853 N magician (note: this is weight, not mass) is freeing himself from some shackles while suspended above a swimming pool filled with alligators. Two ropes are suspending the magician. The left rope makes an angle of 42 above the horizontal and points up and to the left. The right rope makes an angle of 78 above the horizontal and points up and to the right. Calculate the tension in the left rope, in N. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 10.5432)

A picture frame hung against a wall is suspended by two wires attached to its upper corners. If the two wires make the same angle with the vertical, what must this angle be if the tension in each wire is equal to 0.75 of the weight of the frame? (Ignore any friction between the wall and the picture frame.)

A beam of mass M and length L is hanging from a rope perpendicular to a wall. The rope is attached at a point that is 75% of the length of the beam. A second rope is attached to the end of the beam. On the second rope hangs a block with mass m. (a) Draw all forces acting on the beam in a free body diagram. (b) Write the equations necessary for equilibrium in terms of the forces for this situation. (c) Use the torque equation to solve for the tension.
In the figure below, m, = 10.2 kg and m, = 4.3 kg. The coefficient of static friction between m, and the horizontal surface is 0.50, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.30. An illustration shows a rectangular block of mass m, on the horizontal surface of a table. This is connected to another rectangular block of mass m, by a cord that runs over a pulley placed diagonally at the corner of the horizontal surface of the table. The rectangular block of mass m, is suspended vertically by the side of the tabletop. (a) If the system is released from rest, what will its acceleration be? (Enter the magnitude of the acceleration.) m/s? (b) If the system is set in motion with m, moving downward, what will be the acceleration of the system? (Enter the magnitude of the acceleration.) m/s2
