A steel beam is suspended from two ropes as it is lifted to the top of a building at a constant speed. One of the ropes makes an angle of 25.2 degrees with respect to the vertical and has a tension of 722 N, while the other makes an angle of 29.5 with respect to the vertical. What is the beam's mass in kg?
Two blocks of mass m, = 10 kg and mg =5 kg are connected by a massless string that passes over a pulley as MA shown in the figure. The system is in static equilibrium. There is friction between m, and the inclined surface (30.4). Neglect the friction between the string and the pulley. Determine the static friction force in the system. 10 kg 5.0 kg 37 49.0 N 29.3 N 39.2 N 33.9 N O 9.98 N
It’s an arm day at the gym and all the free weights and machines are taken. You don’t have much time to squeeze in your workout before your next class. Desperate to get your reps in, you see a pile of Therabands (the giant rubber bands used for physical therapy). The bands are 100 mm wide and 1.5 mm thick. You sit down to do some bicep curls with the Theraband tied to rack 60 cm away from your hand and your hand is 80 cm from the floor. However, a single length of the Theraband is too easy to curl, so you end up wrapping it around your hand twice (i.e. you are stretching 4 lengths of Theraband when you do your reps). Your hand starts out 60 cm from the Theraband anchor point before your do your bicep curl (i.e. no stress on the band, band has no slack). You contract your bicep until your forearm is parallel with the floor and hand in the position below and hold static equilibrium. From previous obsessing over your personal biomechanics, you know the following: your arm and hand weigh 2…
