In a two-dimensional tug-of-war, Alex, Betty, and Charles pull horizontally on an automobile tire at the angles shown in the picture. The tire remains stationary in spite of the three pulls. Alex pulls with force F A of magnitude 214 N, and Charles pulls with force F c of magnitude 175 N. Note that the direction of F c is not given. What is the magnitude of Betty's force F B if Charles pulls in (a) the direction drawn in the picture or (b) the other possible direction for equilibrium? Alex Charles 147° Betty

A block is resting on a wooden plank. 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?
Problems 1. Three forces act on particle A located at the origin of an x-y coordinate system. Force B acts at 140° from the positive x-axis, and force C acts at 15° from the positive x-axis. The weight acts down with a magnitude of W = 100 kN. Use the equations of equilibrium to determine the magnitudes of B and C such that particle A is in equilibrium. For problems 2-5, consider the following scenario. Equilibrium of a particle: EF=0 XFx=0 and ΣFy=0. Dimensions are: h = 2.5 ft, d₁ = 4.75 ft, and d₂ = 3 ft. Give numeric answers to three significant figures. The load W = 50 lb. d₁ dz A h α W B
In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot t one side or the other. Two students pull with force 198 N each to the right, four students pull with force 94 N each to the left, five students pull with force 60 N each to the left, three students pull with force 160 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 260 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the right, express the net pull on the knot (in N) in terms of the unit vector i. N Fnet = How big is the net pull on the knot (in N)? (Enter the magnitude.) N What direction is the net pull on the knot? O to the right O to the left O The magnitude is zero. Additional Materials Reading
Two forces, F1 and F2, act at a point. F1 has a magnitude of 8.60 N and is directed at an angle of 55.0∘ above the negative x-axis in the second quadrant. F2 has a magnitude of 5.60 N and is directed at an angle of 52.1∘ below the negative x-axis in the third quadrant. a. what are the x and y components of the resultant force? b. What is the magnitude of the resultant force?
An another object is in the outer space. Only three forces are acting on it. One has the magnitude of 9 N. The second one is perpendicular to the first one and has the magnitude of 12 N. Find the magnitude of the third force, if the object is in equilibrium. Draw the picture that shows all the forces. Needs Complete typed solution with 100 % accuracy.
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. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to one decimal place as needed.) 25° 220 lb
A boy has filled his toy box with all his favorite toys and it trying to drag it across the floor. The toy box has a mass of 35 kg (including the toys) and the child pulls with a force of 24 N at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal (he is pulling mostly horizontally, but some of the force is pulling up). How will the normal force between the box and the ground change when the boy starts pulling? Your answer: The normal force will increase when he pulls. The normal force will decrease when he pulls. The normal force will stay the same.
A mountain climber practices his technique in a mountain climbing school by balancing while suspended by two ropes attached to the ceiling. As shown by the figure, the left rope makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal ceiling and the right rope makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal ceiling. If the right rope has tension T1=322 N, what is the weight of the mountain climber?
Two forces are exerted on an object: a force A with an x-component of 9.00[N] and a y-component of -2.40[N], and a force B with an x-component of -13.30[N] and a y-component of 23.60[N]. Assuming these are the only two forces on the object, what is the magnitude of the net force on the object? Express your answer in N.
A 5.95 kg block is sitting on a level floor. A person is pulling on a rope attached to the block at a 34.84 degree angle above the horizontal (see figure). The force exerted by the person is 7.33 N. What is the normal force acting on the block from its contact with the floor?
As you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it. In the figure below, a force ₁ of magnitude 6.80 units acts on a box at the origin in a direction 0 = 29.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the box in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the resultant force ₁ + F2. magnitude direction F₂ F₁ i units ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
Two people are pulling a heavy 95 kg box across the floor as shown in the figure. Person A is pulling in the x-direction only with a force of 20 N. Person B is pulling at an angle e = 40° above the x-direction, also with a force of 20 N. What is the total pulling force on the box in the x-direction?
