Sean and Greg are on a job site standing on two beams 11.0 ft apart. They need to lift their crate of tools midway between them with ropes up 33.5 ft to where they are working. (a) What is the angle between the ropes when the crate is on the ground? (b) How much force do Sean and Greg need to exert on the ropes when lifting the 115-lb crate off the ground? (c) How much force do both Sean and Greg need to exert when the crate is 5.75 ft below them? (d) Explain why the force to lift the crate changes as it moves closer to them.

- A boy sits in a tire that is attached to a rope that passes over a pulley fastened to the ceiling and then passes back down to the boy's hands. The weight of the boy plus the tire is W. What is the force with which the boy must pull on the free end of the rope to support weight in the tire?arrow_forwardA car is being pulled out of the mud by two ropes. Each with a magnitude Force of 2900N. the angle inbetween the ropes, pulling from the front of the car, is 30 degrees. a dashed line bisects the angle (15 degrees on each side). how much force would a single rope need to apply the same effect as the two forces added together? what angle would the single rope make relative to the dashed line?arrow_forwardThe figure below shows a clawhammer as it is being used to pull a nail out of a horizontal board. A force of magnitude 152 N is exerted horizontally as shown. (Assume that the force the hammer exerts on the nail is parallel to the nail and perpendicular to the position vector from the point of contact. The x-component of this force's lever arm is 5 cm.) 30.0 cm Single point of contact 30.0% 5.00 cm (a) Find the force exerted by the hammer claws on the nail. (Enter the magnitude.) N.

- A Jeep is stuck in the mud. The driver has a winch that can pull on its cable with a force of 45,000 N. The driver loops the cable through a pulley attached to a tree, then attaches the end of the cable to his Jeep. What is the magnitude of the maximum force that can be exerted on the Jeep by this cable arrangement?arrow_forwardA 150.8-N bird feeder is supported by three cables as shown in the figure below. Find the tension in each cable. A bird feeder is suspended from a vertical cable. The top left cable of the cable is tied to two other cables. The left and right cables go up and to the left and up and to the right, respectively, from the connection point to a horizontal bar. The left cable makes an angle of 60° with the bar. The right cable makes an angle of 30° with the bar. right cable bottom cable N 60° 30° Bird foodarrow_forwardJeffery is cleaning up around the house. He moves a box with a mass of 55.0kg onto the garage table that is 4.00m long. The legs of the table are both located 0.200m from each end and the box is placed 1.40m from the left end of the table. If the tabletop has a mass of 235kg, what are the forces due to each of the legs on the table, in Newtons? Let FA be the force from the table leg on the left side and FB be the force from the table leg on the right side.arrow_forward
