Chapter 14, Problem 5P
A heavy steel ball is hung from a cord to make a pendulum. The ball is pulled to the side so that the cord makes a 5° angle with the vertical. Holding the ball in place takes a force of 20 N. If the ball is pulled farther to the side so that the cord makes a 10° angle, what force is required to hold the ball?

A fisherman has caught a fish on his pole, and to keep the pole steady he has to apply an upward force of F2 = 215 N at an angle of 55.5° with respect to the pole (see figure). The length of his pole is 3.1 m, and he is holding it a distance 0.25 m from the end, where he is applying a downward force F1.
F2 = 215 Nθ = 55.5°L = 3.1 md = 0.25 m
a) With how much force, F1, in newtons, does he have to push straight downward on the end of his pole to keep the pole from moving? You may assume the pole is massless.
b)What is the mass of the fish on the end of the pole, in kilograms?
A 70 gg mass is attached to one end of a 10-cm-long spring. The other end of the spring is connected to a frictionless pivot on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Spinning the mass around in a circle at 90 rpm causes the spring to stretch to a length of 12 cm.
What is the value of the spring constant?
A torsion spring of a mousetrap is twisted
through an angle of 180°. The torque vs.
angle data is given below.

The relationship between the torque and the
angle is T = ao + a 0. The correct
regression model that represents the data is:
O T= 29.684 0 - 139.43
T= 22.782 0 +1

T = 30 0 - 200
T = 60 0 – 1200
