Two vertical ropes support a 2.00 meter 500N sign. The sign is uniform so its weight force acts at its center. The left rope exerts an upward tension force , T1, and it acts at the far left edge of the sign. The right tension force, T2, acts 0.57 meters to the left of the far right edge. Solve for the values of the two tension forces
The figure below shows a bird feeder that weighs 193.9 N. The feeder is supported by a vertical cable, which is in turn tied to two cables, each of which is attached to a horizontal post. The left cable makes a 60° angle with the post, while the right cable makes a 30° angle. What is the tension in each cable (in N)? left cable=? right cable=? bottom cable=?

On her way to visit Grandmother, Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20 kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25 degree with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 12.2 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical?

Using the same force table that you used, a student was given two forces and asked to find a single force that would produce equilibrium with the two forces. The two forces were given by providing one of the components and the angle the force made with the positive x- axis. The two forces were as follows: Force 1: Fx = −2.70 N; Theta = 220.0 degreees Force 2: Fy = 3.20 N; Theta = 60.0 degrees (a) For each force, calculate the magnitude of the force and the mass required to produce it. (b) Calculate the mass and its angle of application to produce equilibrium with these two forces. Please specify your angle as counterclockwise positive with respect to the positive x-axis.
