An adventurous archaeologist crosses between two rock cliffs by slowly going hand over hand along a rope stretched between the cliffs. He stops to rest at the middle o o rope. The rope will break if the tension in the roe exceeds 2.5x104 N. The mass o archaeologist is 90 kg. a) If the angle from the horizontal is 10°, what is the tension in the rope? b) What is the smallest angle from the horizontal that the rope can have for tne rop not break?

Choose the coefficient of friction wisely. Relevant information is given in the textbook. a. What is the maximum frictional force in the knee joint of a person who supports 70.0 kg of her mass on that knee? Fmax 686.7 XN b. During strenuous exercise it is possible to exert forces to the joints that are easily ten times greater than the weight being supported. What is the maximum force of friction under such conditions? (The frictional forces in joints are relatively small in all circumstances except when the joints deteriorate, such as from injury or arthritis. Increased frictional forces can cause further damage and pain.) Fmax = N
