The system shown consists of 3 cables. For instance; cable C12 joins points 1 and 2. The coordinates of point 1 are (7.79, 0, 0) m, those of point 2 are (0, 7.58, 9.77) m, and those of point 3 are (0, 7.58, -9.77) m. The force P = 99 kN. Determine the force in cable C14.
Problem 1: A meter stick has mass m = .2 kg (distributed uniformly along its length) and a length of (of course) 1 meter. The stick is placed simultaneously on two weight scales: one at the 20 cm mark (with 0 cm at the far left end of the stick), the other at the 70 cm mark, with no other supports or weights. Remember that a weight scale supplies an upward force, equal to the reading on the scale. Calculate the reading on both scales. Call the reading on the left scale (at 20 cm) FL, and the reading on the right scale (at 70 cm) FR. 20 cm 70 cm

There is a block loaded with two 0.5 kg masses and is pulled at constant velocity across the table but with an applied force that is parallel to the surface of the table. theta = 0 because the force is of the same diraction as the displacement. What are the magnitudes of the following forces: Fg FN Ff
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

The block shown in (Figure 1) has a mass of m = 75 kg, a height H = 1.1 m, and width L = 1.6 m. It is resting on a ramp that makes an angle 0 = 34° with the horizontal. A force P is applied parallel to the surface of the ramp at the top of the block. What is the maximum force that can be applied without causing the block to move? The coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.42, and the center of mass of the block is at the center of the rectangle. What is the maximum magnitude of P that can be applied before tipping would occur, assuming the block does not slip? Express your answer to three significant figures with appropriate units.

In the figure, block M2 is sitting on a table and is connected by mass-less chords to block M1 and to a vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between M2 and the table is Us=0.60. Block M1 has a mass of 8 kg. The angle made by the chord and the wall is 55 degrees. What minimum mass must block M2 have in order to remain stationary and not slide?
Consider the four forces to be in equilibrium. The force F2 has a magnitude of 70.0 N and is in the negative x-direction. The force F3 is in the positive y direction. The force F1 makes an angle =25.0o with respect to the positive z-axis. When projected onto the xy plane the force F1 makes and angle of =32.0o with respect to the positive x-axis. What is the magnitude of the force F4 if it is in the negative z-direction? Give your answer in Newton's
