A bag of cement weighing 325N hangs in equilibrium from three wires as suggested in Figure below. Two of the wires makes angles ɵ1=60.0o and ɵ2=40.0o with the horizontal. Assuming the system is in equilibrium, find tension T2 in the wires. show the solution.
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?
Emily is flying off to Paris. Unfortunately, the wheels of her luggage fell off. So, she ties a rope to it and drags it along the floor of the airport terminal. The rope makes a 30.0° angle with the horizontal. The luggage has a mass of 25.0 kg and Emily pulls on the rope with a force of 65.0 N. (a) What is the magnitude of the normal force acting on the luggage due to the floor? (b) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the luggage and the marble floor is HK = 0.13, find the frictional force acting on the suitcase. CLAIM GATE

A 20.0 kg box is held at rest by two ropes that form theta=23 degrees angles with the vertical. An external force F is also applied vertically downward on the box. The force exerted by each of the two ropes is denoted by T of magnitude 660 N. A force diagram, showing the four forces that act on the box in equilibrium , is shown in the figure. Use g=10m/s2. What is the magnitude of the external force F (in unit of N) applied on the box?
Three rugby players are pulling horizontally on ropes attached to a box, which remains stationary. Player 1 exerts a force F equal to 200 N at an angle 0, equal to –60.0° with respect to the +x-direction, as shown in the figure. Player 2 exerts a force F2 equal to 300 N at an angle 02 equal to 37.0° with respect to the +x-direction. The view in the figure is from above. Ignore friction and note that gravity can be ignored in this problem. Determine the force F3 exerted by player 3. State your answer by giving the x- and y-components, F3, and Fay, respectively.

Jack pulls eastward with a force of 94.5 N,94.5 N, Jill pulls with 88.1 N88.1 N in the northeast direction, and Jane pulls to the southeast with 181 N.181 N. (Since the donkey is involved with such uncoordinated people, who can blame it for being stubborn?) Find the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey. What is the direction of the net force? Express this as the angle from the east direction between 0°0° and 90°,90°, with a positive sign for north of east and a negative sign for south of east.
