- A bag of cement weighing 525 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires as suggested in the figure below. Two of the wires make angles 0, = 62.0° and 0, = 43.0° with the horizontal. Assuming the system is in equilibrium, find the tensions T,, T,, and T, in the wires. 269.42 T = Consider the net force at the point where the three wires come together. What is the acceleration of this point? N 420.98 Ta = The horizontal component of your T, is not equal to the horizontal component of your T,, so the object would be accelerating horizontally.

There is a hinge on one end of the plank which allows the other end to be lifted to create an angle, θ, with respect to the horizontal as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank is μs. If a student measures that the block begins to move at an angle of θ = 20.5°, what is the numerical value of the coefficient of static friction, μs?arrow_forwardAn elevator cabin has a mass of 364.1 kg, and the combined mass of the people inside the cabin is 180.9 kg.

- Timmy and Billy are using a ramp to load furniture into a truck. While rolling a 220-pound piano up the ramp, they discover that the truck is too full with other furniture for the piano to fit. Billy holds the piano in place on the ramp while Timmy repositions other items to make room for it in the truck. If the angle of inclination of the ramp is 25°, how many pounds of force must Billy exert to hold the piano in position? Billy must exert pounds of force.
