Chapter 5, Problem 8P
A 65 kg student is walking on a slackline, a length of webbing stretched between two trees. The line stretches and so has a noticeable sag, as shown in Figure P5.8. At the point where his foot touches the line, the rope applies a tension force in each direction, as shown. What is the tension in the line?

Tim got a huge birthday gift from his grandmother. A 400. N crate has been delivered to his driveway. In order to get it started moving toward his door, he has to push it with a horizontal force of 250 N, but as soon as it is moving, he can keep it moving at a constant speed by pushing with a 120 N force. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction of Tim's birthday gift and the driveway?
