Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.37SP
Two people fishing from rowboats on a lake are 100 m apart and have hooked their lines into the same sunken log. The first has 85 m of line out, and the second has 68 m of line out Assuming that the lines both lie in the same vertical plane, meet at a point (on the log), and are taut, how deep is the sunken log?

Project the tension (T) of 8 (kN) onto the OB line. (Hint) Use the dot product.
A man on the wire singing "Man on a Wire" while practicing for his circus show has reached the center of the rope, creating a dip on the center angled at 67.87 degrees. If the mass of the man is 42.23 kg and the tension force that can be handled by the wire is 301.26 N, would the wire break? Show the tension caused by the man hanging on the wire. (with illustration)
