A 853 N magician (note: this is weight, not mass) is freeing himself from some shackles while suspended above a swimming pool filled with alligators. Two ropes are suspending the magician. The left rope makes an angle of 42 above the horizontal and points up and to the left. The right rope makes an angle of 78 above the horizontal and points up and to the right. Calculate the tension in the left rope, in N. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 10.5432)

Just like Louis, Maria left a book on the roof of her car before driving away. The mass of the book was 725 grams. The coefficient of static friction between the book and the roof was 0.28. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the roof was 0.23. Maria started her car and drove forward on level ground with an acceleration of 3.6 m/s?. As Maria was driving away with that acceleration, what was the magnitude of the force of friction (in newtons) between the book and the roof of the car?
