One 3.2-kg paint bucket is hanging by a massless cord from another 3.2-kg paint bucket, also hanging by a massless cord, as shown in Fig. 4-49 (a) If the buckets are at rest, what is the tension in each cord? (b) If the two buckets are pulled upward with an acceleration of 1.25 m/s2by the upper cord, calculate the tension in each cord.

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.

Problem 89.
26E. Refer to Fig. 5-15 and suppose the two masses are m
2.0 kg and M = 4.0 kg. (a) Decide without any calculations
which of them should be hanging if the magnitude of the acceler-
ation is to be largest. What then are (b) the magnitude of the
acceleration and (c) the associated tension in the cord?
Three mountain climbers who are roped together in a line
are ascending an icefield inclined at 31.0° to the horizontal
(Fig. 4-69). The last climber slips, pulling the second
climber off his feet. The first climber is able to hold them
both. If each climber has a mass of 75 kg, calculate the ten-
sion in each of the two sections of rope between the three
climbers. Ignore friction between the ice and the fallen
climbers.
