A laboratory exercise on the concept of static equilibrium uses an apparatus called a force table. The force table consists of a round, level platform marked in degree increments about its circumference. In the center of the table sits a massless ring, to which three strings are tied. Each m, m2 string is strung over a separate pulley clamped to the edge of the platform and then tied to a freely hanging mass, so that each string is under tension and the ring is suspended m, parallel to the table surface. There is a mass of m1 157 g located at 0, = 24.5° and a second masss of m2 = 215 g located at 02 = 291°. Calculate the mass mg and the location 03 (in degrees) that will balance the system and hold the ring stationary over the center of the platform. m3 03

A metal seat with mass m1 = 16 kg hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley attached to the ceiling. A spring scale hangs from the other end of the rope. A girl with mass m2 = 34 kg sitting on the hung seat is pulling the spring scale. The total system is in static equilibrium state. Question:(1) how much does the scale reads(in Newton)? (2). what is the support force of the seat to the girl? (hint 1: write down all the forces exerted on the chair and on the girl separately and demand the net force for each is zero. hint 2: Newton’s third law says that if there is a force exerted on A by B, then there must be another force exerted on B by A with the same magnitude and in opposite direction)
