Chapter 14, Problem 5P
A heavy steel ball is hung from a cord to make a pendulum. The ball is pulled to the side so that the cord makes a 5° angle with the vertical. Holding the ball in place takes a force of 20 N. If the ball is pulled farther to the side so that the cord makes a 10° angle, what force is required to hold the ball?

An ornament of mass 36.9 g is attached to a vertical ideal spring with a force constant (spring constant) of 51.8 N/m. The
ornament is then lowered very slowly until the spring stops stretching.
How much does the spring stretch?
A fisherman has caught a fish on his pole, and to keep the pole steady he has to apply an upward force of F2 = 215 N at an angle of 55.5° with respect to the pole (see figure). The length of his pole is 3.1 m, and he is holding it a distance 0.25 m from the end, where he is applying a downward force F1.
F2 = 215 Nθ = 55.5°L = 3.1 md = 0.25 m
a) With how much force, F1, in newtons, does he have to push straight downward on the end of his pole to keep the pole from moving? You may assume the pole is massless.
b)What is the mass of the fish on the end of the pole, in kilograms?
After a late night of studying physics, several 80 kg students decide it would be fun to swing on the Foucault pendulum as described below. What’s the maximum number of students that the pendulum cable could support?
A Foucault pendulum in a physics department (used to prove that the earth rotates) consists of a 120 kg steel ball that swings at the end of a 6.0-m-long steel cable. The cable has a diameter of 2.5 mm. When the ball was first hung from the cable, by how much did the cable stretch?
