A stone hangs by a fine thread from the ceiling, and a
section of the same thread dangles from the bottom of
the stone (Fig. 4–36). If a person gives a sharp pull on the
dangling thread, where is the thread likely to break:
below the stone or above it? What if the person gives a
slow and steady pull? Explain your answers.

- The 70.0-kg climber in Fig. 4-72 is supported in the “chimney" by the friction forces exerted on his shoes and back. The static coefficients of friction between his shoes and the wall, and between his back and the wall, are 0.80 and 0.60, respectively. What is the minimum normal force he must exert? Assume the walls are ver- tical and that the static friction forces are both at their maximum. Ignore his grip on the rope.
