A bag of cement weighing 525 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires as suggested in the figure below. Two of the wires make 62.0⁰ and 02 = 43.0° with the horizontal. Assuming the system is in equilibrium, find the tensions T₁, T2, and T3 angles 0₁ 1' in the wires. T₁ = 0 = Consider the net force at the point where the three wires come together. What is the acceleration of this point? N 0.53 X T₂ = The horizontal component of your T₁ is not equal to the horizontal component of your T₂, so the object would be accelerating horizontally.

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 small box with a weight of 35.0 N is placed on top of a larger box that has a weight of 80.0 N. The system of two boxes is at rest on a horizontal surface (the larger box is in contact with the surface). You apply an additional downward force of 30.0 N to the top of the small box by resting your hand on it. For this problem, use g = 10 N/kg. (a) What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the large box by the small box? (b) What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the large box by the surface? Now, imagine that the horizontal surface is the floor of an elevator, and the boxes are in the elevator, which has an acceleration directed downward of 1.00 m/s?. (c) What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the large box by the small box in this case? (d) What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the large box by the surface in this case? N
Three rugby players are pulling horizontally on ropes attached to a box, which remains stationary. Player 1 exerts a force F equal to 200 N at an angle 0, equal to –60.0° with respect to the +x-direction, as shown in the figure. Player 2 exerts a force F2 equal to 300 N at an angle 02 equal to 37.0° with respect to the +x-direction. The view in the figure is from above.

A car of mass m₁ 1000 kg is connected to a trailer of mass m2 = 400 kg by a taut inextensible cable. The car's engine provides a constant forward driving force Fx = 7000 N, which causes the car-plus-trailer to accelerate forwards along the horizontal x-axis. The tension of the cable produces a force on the trailer and also a force on the car. You may assume that the magnitude of the two forces is the same. You may also ignore friction. What is the tension in the cable joining the car to the trailer? Give your answer by entering a number, correct to an appropriate number of significant figures, in the empty box below.
