In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot to one side or the other. Two students pull with force 196 N each to the light, four students pull with force 98 N each to the left, five students pull with force 62 N each to the left, three students pull with force 150 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 250 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the tight, express the net pull on the knot in terms of the unit vector. How big is the net pull on the knot? In what direction?
A bag of cement weighing 325 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires as suggested in Figure P5.33. Two of the wires make angles 1 = 60.0 and 2 = 40.0 with the horizontal. Assuming the system is in equilibrium, find the tensions T1, T2 and T3 in the wires. Figure P5.33 Problems 33 and 34.
A black widow spider hangs motionless from a web that extends vertically from the ceiling above. If the spider has a mass of 1.5 g, what is the tension in the web?
A 20.0-kg horizontal plank 4.00 m long rests on two supports, one at the left end and a second 1.00 m from the right end. What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the plank by the support near the right end? (a) 32.0 N (b) 45.2 N (c) 112 N (d) 131 N (e) 98.2 N
Two blocks, each of mass m = 3.50 kg, are hung from the ceiling of an elevator as in Figure P4.33. (a) If the elevator moves with an upward acceleration a of magnitude 1.60 m/s2, find the tensions T1 and T2 in the upper and lower strings. (b) If the strings can withstand a maximum tension of 85.0 N, what maximum acceleration can the elevator have before a string breaks? Figure P4.33 Problems 33 and 34.
An iron bolt of mass 65.0 g hangs from a string 35.7 cm long. The top end of the string is fixed. Without touching it, a magnet attracts the bolt so that it remains stationary, but is displaced horizontally 28.0 cm to the tight from the previously vertical line of the string. The magnet is located to the right of the bolt and on the same vertical level as the bolt in the final configuration. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of the bolt. (b) Find the tension in the string, (c) Find the magnetic force on the bolt.
A 0.400-kg pendulum bob passes through the lowest part of its path at a speed of 3.00 m/s. (a) What is the tension in the pendulum cable at this point if the pendulum is 80.0 cm long? (b) When the pendulum reaches its highest point, what angle does the cable make with the vertical? (c) What is the tension in the pendulum cable when the pendulum reaches its highest point?
A person places a bathroom scale in the center of the floor and stands on the scale with his arms at his sides ( Fig. 3.26a). If he keeps his arms rigid and quickly raises them over his head (Fig. 3.26b), he notices the scale reading increases as he brings his arms upward. Why? Then, with his arms over his head (Fig. 3.26c), he quickly lowers his arms to his side. How does the scale reading change and why? (Try it yourself.)
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

The mass of the Earth is approximately 5.98 1024 kg, and the mass of the Moon is approximately 7.35 1022 kg. The Moon and the Earth are separated by about 3.84 108 m. a. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Moon exerts on the Earth? b. If Serena is on the Moon and her mass is 25 kg, what is the magnitude of the gravitational force on Serena due to the Moon? The radius of the Moon is approximately 1.74 106 m.
An object is being weighed using an unequal-arm balance (Fig. P14.76). When the object is in the left pan, a downward force of 3.0 N must be exerted on the right pan to balance the gravitational force on the object. When the object is in the right pan, a downward force of 2.0 N must be exerted on the left pan to balance the gravitational force on the object. Determine the magnitude of the gravitational force on the object. FIGURE P14.76
