Darlene decided she loved physics class so much that she would make a mobile to hang in her room that had items that reminded her of physics. She used a meter stick as her lever and fishing wire to hang the stick at its midpoint. She hung a 0.050 kg protractor 0.35 m to the left of the pivot point. She also hung a 0.095 kg bean bag 0.40 m to the right of the pivot point. In order to balance the mobile in static equilib- rium, how far to the left of the pivot point should Darlene hang her 0.048 kg calculator case?

A 20.4 kg mass (m) is suspended by the cable assembly as shown in the figure. The cables have no mass of their own. The cable to the left (T) of the mass makes an angle of 0.00° with the horizontal, and the cable to the right (T2) makes an angle (02) of 30.1°. If the mass is at rest, what is the tension in each of the cables, T and T2? The acceleration due to gravity T, T, is g = 9.81 m/s². N T1 = m N T2 =
