A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.

A painter sits on a scaffold that is connected to a rope passing over a pulley. The other end of the rope rests in the hands of the painter who wants to lift the scaffold. She plans to pull downward on the loose end of the rope, thinking that the scaffold will then rise vertically with her along for the ride. The scaffold has a mass of 52 kg, and her mass is 63 kg. The painter pulls downward on the rope with a force of 600.0 N, while she and the scaffold are hanging from the other end above the ground. a. What is the net acceleration on the system consisting of the painter and the scaffold? b. What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the painter by the scaffold?
As shown in Figure CQ5.22, student A, a 55-kg girl, sits on one chair with metal runners, at rest on a classroom floor. Student B, an 80-kg boy, sits on an identical chair. Both students keep their feet off the floor. A rope runs from student As hands around a light pulley and then over her shoulder to the hands of a teacher standing on the floor behind her. The low-friction axle of the pulley is attached to a second rope held by student B. All ropes run parallel to the chair runners. (a) If student A pulls on her end of the rope, will her chair or will Bs chair slide on the floor? Explain why. (b) If instead the teacher pulls on his rope end, which chair slides? Why this one? (c) If student B pulls on his rope, which chair slides? Why? (d) Now the teacher ties his end of the rope to student As chair. Student A pulls on the end of the rope in her hands. Which chair slides and why? Figure CQ5.22
