Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 293 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so
that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (see figure below). If the angle between
Jamal's handle and the vertical side is 25.0° and the angle between Dayo's handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0°, what are the
tensions in each handle? (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers
submitted in WebAssign.)

It makes a glancing collision with a second puck of radius r, = 6.00 cm and mass m, = 120 g (initially at rest) such that their rims just touch. Because their rims are coated with instant-acting glue, the pucks stick together and rotate after the collision (Fig. Pl1.26b).

This is an integration problem, to calculate the center of mass (center of gravity) for a continuous distribution. Specifically, we need the horizontal component of the center of mass. The height varies from h to zero according to this function: y(x)=h(xℓ−1)2y(x)=h(xℓ−1)2 . The constants h and ℓ replace 1.00 m and 3.00 m. There is also a thickness t and a density ρ. You need two integrals, the total mass and the center of mass. Possibly surprisingly, you don't actually need the numbers t, h, and ρ.arrow_forward
