Chapter 12, Problem 9P
A flexible chain weighing 40.0 N hangs between two hooks located at the same height (Fig. P12.9). At each hook, the tangent to the chain makes an angle θ = 42.0° with the horizontal. Find (a) the magnitude of the force each hook exerts on the chain and (b) the tension in the chain at its midpoint. Suggestion: For part (b), make a force diagram for half of the chain.

A 15 kg monkey climbs a uniform ladder with weight 1.2 *10^2 N and length L=3.00 m. The ladder rests against the wall and makes an angle of theta= 60.0 degrees with the ground. The upper and lower ends of the ladder rest on frictionless surfaces. The lower end is connected to the wall by a horizontal rope. HInt : Draw a force diagram for the ladder and the normal forces from the ground and wall acting on the ladder.
A) find the tension in the rope when the monkey is two-thirds of the way up the ladder.
B) The rope is frayed and can support a maximum tension of only 80N. Find the maximum distance that the monkey can climb up the ladder before the rope breaks.
C) If the horizontal surface were rough and the rope were removed, how would your analysis of the problem change? What other information would you need to answer parts (a) and (b)
A 24 kg rectangular 4.00 m x 3.00 m rectangular sign is suspended from a
horizontal 6.00 m long rod with a 5 kg mass as indicated in the figure. The
left end of the rod is supported by a hinge, and the right end is supported by
a thin cable making a 30.0° angle with the vertical. Draw a free body
diagram and calculate the tension T in the cable. The thin cable breaks if it is
pulled by more than 200 N. Show than in the present situation the cable can
not support the sign without breaking. Show the cable is able to support the
load if it is attached higher up such that it makes an angle of 20.0° angle

Assume friction is negligible. n?arrow_forwardYou are working in an ice skating rink and have been asked to hang a new banner on the wall. Your friend is helping you so that the ladder does not collapse by exerting a force F_AL at an angle ϕ relative to the horizontal. The ladder has a length L and makes an angle of θ with respect to the vertical wall. You have a mass, m_Y, and are a horizontal distance x from the wall. The ladder has a mass of m_L. Because the wall is slick, and the ice on the floor is slick, the frictional forces acting on the ladder are negligible. Find a formula for the magnitude of the force that your friend must exert to keep the ladder from falling, in terms of the following variables: x,L,m_Y,m_L,θ,ϕ. Then use the following values to get a number for the magnitude of F_AL. θ = 30.3 degrees ϕ = 23.028 degrees x = 1.491 meters L = 7.1 meters m_Y = 86.0 kg m_L = 42.14 kg Find the magnitudes of: F_AL, normal force of the wall on the ladder (N_WL), and normal force of the floor on the ladder (N_FL).arrow_forwardA 12-kg, 1.0-m-long uniform beam is attached to a wall by a cable.
