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
Dental braces and kits are used to align and straighten the orientation of the teeth. In a specific case, the tooth that is needed to be aligned is pulled with a force of 6.26 N, 45° CW from the wire (from the +x-axis) and 4.86 N, 45° CCW from the wire (from the +x-axis). What is the magnitude of the resulting force of the two forces aligning the tooth?

Find the direction of the resultant of the three force vectors A, B, and, C shown in the figure. These vectors have the following magnitudes: A = 5.39 lb, B = 7.66 lb, and C = 7.8 lb. Express the direction of the resultant by specifying the angle it makes with the +x-axis, with counterclockwise angles taken to be positive.

Connected objects with inclined plane problem. Consider the figure where you have two boxes connected by a string over a pulley. The smooth (frictionless) ramp is inclined to a an angle of 35° with the flat ground, and the box on the ramp has a mass of 6.40 kg. The mass of the 6.4 kg hanging box is m = 3.05 kg. You don't need to consider significant figures in your answer, but don't round excessively partway through your calculations. 35° Find (a) the direction and (b) the magnitude of the hanging box's acceleration.
