Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle? FIGURE P5.76

A window washer is standing on a scaffold supported by a vertical rope at each end. The scaffold weighs 192 N and is 3.1 m long. What is the tension in each rope when the 710–N worker stands 1.06 m from one end? Smaller tension? Larger tension?
A 150.8-N bird feeder is supported by three cables as shown in the figure below. Find the tension in each cable. A bird feeder is suspended from a vertical cable. The top left cable of the cable is tied to two other cables. The left and right cables go up and to the left and up and to the right, respectively, from the connection point to a horizontal bar. The left cable makes an angle of 60° with the bar. The right cable makes an angle of 30° with the bar. right cable bottom cable N 60° 30° Bird food
Two vertical cables suspend a 354-N, 1.94-m uniform bar at each end. Cable A can support a maximum tension of 513 N without breaking, and cable B can support up to 351 N. If you want to put a heavy weight on this bar, where should you position it respect to cable A such that the cables and the bar do not break? Express your answer in meters and in two decimal places.
