Sean and Greg are on a job site standing on two beams 11.0 ft apart. They need to lift their crate of tools midway between them with ropes up 33.5 ft to where they are working. (a) What is the angle between the ropes when the crate is on the ground? (b) How much force do Sean and Greg need to exert on the ropes when lifting the 115-lb crate off the ground? (c) How much force do both Sean and Greg need to exert when the crate is 5.75 ft below them? (d) Explain why the force to lift the crate changes as it moves closer to them.

- A boy sits in a tire that is attached to a rope that passes over a pulley fastened to the ceiling and then passes back down to the boy's hands. The weight of the boy plus the tire is W. What is the force with which the boy must pull on the free end of the rope to support weight in the tire?arrow_forwardA car is being pulled out of the mud by two ropes. Each with a magnitude Force of 2900N. the angle inbetween the ropes, pulling from the front of the car, is 30 degrees. a dashed line bisects the angle (15 degrees on each side). how much force would a single rope need to apply the same effect as the two forces added together? what angle would the single rope make relative to the dashed line?arrow_forwardIMPORTANT NOTE: DRAW the graphical representationarrow_forward
- A Jeep is stuck in the mud. The driver has a winch that can pull on its cable with a force of 45,000 N. The driver loops the cable through a pulley attached to a tree, then attaches the end of the cable to his Jeep. What is the magnitude of the maximum force that can be exerted on the Jeep by this cable arrangement?arrow_forwardA horizontal force of 140 N is applied to a stationary wooden box in one direction, and a 800 N horizontal force is applied in the opposite direction.

- A 150.8-N bird feeder is supported by three cables as shown in the figure below. Find the tension in each cable. A bird feeder is suspended from a vertical cable. The top left cable of the cable is tied to two other cables. The left and right cables go up and to the left and up and to the right, respectively, from the connection point to a horizontal bar. The left cable makes an angle of 60° with the bar. The right cable makes an angle of 30° with the bar. right cable bottom cable N 60° 30° Bird foodarrow_forwardrefer to the picture below, what could be the possible magnitude of F1 and the angle, if the given magnitude of the resultant force acting on the eye bolt is 1000 N and its direction measured clockwise from the positive x-axis is 30°.
