You want to push a 65-kg box up a 25° ramp. The coef-
ficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the box
is 0.30. With what magnitude force parallel to the ramp
should you push on the box so that it moves up the
ramp at a constant speed?
It is desired to remove the spike from the timber by applying force along its horizontal axis. An obstruction A prevents direct access, so
that two forces, one 440 lb and the other P, are applied by cables as shown. Compute the magnitude of P necessary to ensure a
resultant T directed along the spike. Also find T.

A traffic light weighing 122 N hangs from a cable tied to two other cablesfastened to a support. The upper cables make angles of 37.0◦ and 53.0◦with the horizontal. These upper cables are not as strong as the verticalcable, and will break if the tension in them exceeds 100 N. Will the trafficlight remain hanging in this situation, or will one of the cables break?
