A movie stunt performer is filming a scene where he swings across a river on a vine. The safety crew must use a vine with enough strength so that it doesn't break while swinging. The stunt performer's mass is 90.0 kg, the vine is 11.0 m long, and the speed of the stunt performer at the bottom of the swing has been determined to be 7.40 m/s. What is the minimum tension force (in N) the vine must be able to support without breaking?

An adventurous archeologist (m = 85.5 kg) tries to cross a river by swinging from a vine. The vine is 11.0 m long, and his speed at the bottom of the swing is 7.50 m/s. The archeologist doesn't know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1,000 N. Does he make it safely across the river without falling in? Yes No
Two blocks of mass m1 = 3.0kg and m2 = 2.5kg are attached with a rope. The rope goes around several ideal pulleys. Two of the pulleys are attached directly to the ceiling (grey shaded region at the top) and will not move up or down. The lower pulley will move with block 1. Block 1 is free hanging and will move vertically. Block 2 rests on an inclined ramp at angle θ = 30°. The ramp is frictionless. Block 1 is observed to accelerate upwards. The experiment is done on earth, g = 9.8 m/s2 What is the tension in the long rope? by using variables only
Determine the steady-state angle a if the constant force P = 160 N is applied to the cart of mass M = 12 kg. The cart travels on the slope of angle = 21°. The pendulum bob has mass m = 4 kg and the rigid bar of length L = 1.6 m has negligible mass. Ignore all friction. m Answer: a = P Mi L α M Ө
A heavy ball with a weight of 150 N (m = 15.3 kg) is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.6-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released to swing as a pendulum, reaching a speed of 5.6 m/s as it passes through the lowest point. What is the tension in the rope at that point?
An adventurous archeologist (m = 85.0 kg) tries to cross a river by swinging from a vine. The vine is10.0 m long and his speed at the bottom of the swing is 8.00 m/s. The archeologist does not know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1,000 N. Does he make it across the river without falling in?

A sphere of mass m= 2kg is in equilibrium tied to two strings as indicated in the figure. Find the tension T and the angle A of the rope hanging from the ceiling if the tension of the rope attached to the side wall is T = 4N. Consider g= 10m / s2.
Two ideal pulleys (massless and frictionless) form a pulley system that can lift a weight by pulling on the end of a massless rope, as shown below. The upper pulley is attached to the ceiling at point A, and the lower pulley is connected to a box of mass M = 10.0kg. (a) What is the tension in the rope if the box is accelerating upwards with a = 2.00 m/s^2? (b) What is the tension force at point A at the ceiling?
A man is attempting to lift a crate with a double-pulley system, as shown. A single rope is routed from the ceiling, through the two pulleys, and to where the man pulls on it. The crate has mass m2 = 68 kg, and the man has m1 = 75 kg. He pulls downward on the rope with a force of magnitude F = 599 N. The pulleys are both massless and frictionless, and the rope is ideal. What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the tension force, T?What is the acceleration, in meters per squared second, of the crate?
The figure shows a block of mass m resting on a 20o slope. The block has coefficients of friction us=0.64 and uk=0.54 with the surface of the slope. It is connected using a very light string over an ideal pulley to a hanging block of mass 2.0 kg. The string above the slope pulls parallel to the surface. What is the minimum mass m so the system will remain at rest when it is released from rest?
In the figure, a cord runs around two massless, frictionless pulleys. A canister with mass m = 41 kg hangs from one pulley, and you exert a force F on the free end of the cord. (a) What must be the magnitude of F if you are to lift the canister at a constant speed? (b) To lift the canister by 3.5 cm, how far must you pull the free end of the cord? During that lift, what is the work done on the canister by (c) your force (via the cord) and (d) the gravitational force? (Hint: When a cord loops around a pulley as shown, it pulls on the pulley with a net force that is twice the tension in the cord.)
