Chapter 4, Problem 13SP
An essentially weightless rope is slung over a frictionless lightweight pulley that is attached to a hook in the ceiling. An object weighing 500 N is hung from one end, and a student holds the other end, keeping the system in equilibrium. What force must she pull with? In what direction? What is the value of the tension in the rope?

The figure below shows a bird feeder that weighs 187.1 N. The feeder is supported by a vertical wire, which is in turn tied to two wires, each of which is attached to a horizontal support. The left wire makes a 60° angle with the support, while the right wire makes a 30° angle. What is the tension in each wire (in N)?
A bird feeder is suspended from a vertical wire. The top of the wire is tied to two other wires. The left and right wires go up and to the left and up and to the right, respectively, from the connection point to a horizontal support. The left wire makes an angle of 60° with the support. The right wire makes an angle of 30° with the support.

An engineering student suspends his 300 N tool box by using a system of ropes and pulleys, as shown in the figure. The mass M1 is
equal to 20.0 kg. The angle e and the mass M2 have been chosen so that the entire system remains at rest. Assume that the
pulleys are all ideal and frictionless, and that the cords have negligible weight.
