- A filled treasure chest (m = 375 kg) with a long rope tied around its center lies in the middle of a room. Dirk wishes to drag the chest, but there is friction between the chest and the floor with s = 0.52. If the angle between the rope and the floor is 30.0, what is the magnitude of the tension required to just get the chest moving?arrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forward(a) What is the maximum frictional force in the knee joint of a person who supports 66.0 kg of her mass on that knee? (b) During strenuous exercise, it is possible to exert forces to the joints that are easily 10 times greater than the weight being supported. What is the maximum force of friction under such conditions? The frictional forces in joints are relatively small in all circumstances except when the joints deteriorate, such as from injury or arthritis. Increased frictional forces can cause further damage and pam.arrow_forward

- A box is hanging at rest from the ceiling by two ropes. The rope on the left (Rope 1) forms a 20degree angle with the ceiling and has a total tension of 25N. The box on the right (Rope 2) forms a 32degree angle with the ceiling and has a total tension of 15N. What is the weight of the box? What is the mass of the box? A person ties a 2.5 g ball to the end of a 200 cm rope and swings it around in a circle directly over their head. It takes the ball 1.2 seconds to move around the circle one time. What is the velocity of the ball? What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the ball? What is the magnitude of the centripetal force on the ball? What type of force provides the centripetal force?arrow_forwardA Christmas light hangs on a series of strings as shown in the figure below.
