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
Calculate the normal force on a 15.0 kg block in the following circumstances: (a) The block is resting on a level surface. (b) The block is resting on a surface tilted up at a 30.0 angle with respect to the horizontal. (c) The block is resting on the floor of an elevator that is accelerating upwards at 3.00 m./s2. (d) The block is on a level surface and a force of 125 N is exerted on it at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. (Sec Section 1.5.)
The starship Enterprise has its tractor beam locked onto some valuable debris and is trying to pull it toward the ship. A Klingon battle cruiser and a Romulan warbird are also trying to recover the item by pulling the debris with their tractor beams as shown in Figure P5.25. a. Given the following magnitudes of the tractor beam forces, find the net force experienced by the debris: FEnt = 7.59 106 N, FRom = 2.53 106 N, and FKling = 8.97 105 N. b. If the debris has a mass of 2549 kg, what is the net acceleration of the debris? FIGURE P5.25
A force F1, of magnitude 6.00 units acts on an object at the origin in a direction = 30.0 above the positive x-axis (Fig. P3.8). A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the object in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant force F1 + F2?. Figure P3.8

A child pulls on a wagon handle at an angle of 37 degrees above the horizontal with a force of 45 N. If the wagon accelerates at 8.1m/s^2 horizontally, what is the mass of the wagon? Assume frictional forces are negligible.
In order to straighten a crooked tree, a rope is attached horizontally from the top of the tree to a nearby building. A force of 600 N is applied downward at the center of rope. The angle between this downward force and the rope going to the tree is 95 degrees, which is the same as the angle between the downward force and the rope going to the building. The tension in the rope going to the tree is 300 N. 600 N. 1200 N. 3442 N.
