A typical jar that has been tightened to a reasonable degree requires 2.0 N⋅mN⋅m to open. f you grab a 8.2-cmcm-diameter jar lid with one hand so that your thumb and fingers exert equal magnitude forces on opposite sides of the lid, as in the figure, what is the magnitude of each of the forces?
A monkey of mass m = 10.0 kg is holding on to two vines each of length l = 3.00 m. The vines form an angle with the horizontal of 40.0 degrees (see figure). The monkey is not moving and the vines are considered massless and not stretchable.
a. What is the distance d between the mounting points of the vines at the top?
b. Draw a free body diagram of the monkey and indicate all forces.
