A sled is tied to a tree on a frictionless, snow-covered hill, as shown in the figure. The maximum tension the string can sustain is 40.0 N. If the sled weighs 77.0 N, (a) find the magnitude of the tension force FT→ exerted by the string on the sled, and (b) find the magnitude of the normal force n→ exerted by the hill on the sled. (c) Will the string snap?

A 705 N bear is standing on a metal plank supported by the cable shown in the figure. At the end of the plank hangs a basket weighing 80 N. Assume the plank is uniform, weighs 200 N, is 5.00 m long, and θ = 60.0∘. (a) When the bear is at x = 1.15 m, find the tension in the cable supporting the plank and the components of the force exerted by the wall on the left end of the plank. (Enter the magnitudes of your answers in N.) T = N Fx = N Fy = N (b) If the cable can withstand a maximum tension of 800 N , what is the maximum distance (in m ) the bear can walk before the cable breaks? (Measure this distance from the wall.) m

Two children, Raffil and John, sitting on sleds tied together with a rope, are being dragged across a frozen river by their lonely Siberian husky Rex attached with the hamess and rope as shown in the figure. The husky is pulling happily with a net horizontal force of 112 N from its harness. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleds and the ice is 0.08, the combined mass of Raffi and his sled is 42.0 kg, and the combined mass of John and his sled is 51.0 kg. Assume all forces are horizontal, and the two ropes and the harness are of negligible mass, and all ropes are tight. (i) What is the acceleration of Rex? (ii) What is the tension T in the rope connecting the two sleds? (iii) What is the tension in the rope connecting the sled of John and Rex? If this question cannot be answered, why? (iv) Will the husky be able to pull the sleds with the same magnitude of force from its harness if the frozen river starts to melt resulting in a slippery surface? Explain the reason of your answer.

A block of mass m1 = 1.95 kg and a block of mass m2 = 6.10 kg are connected by a massless string over a pulley in the shape of a solid disk having radius R = 0.250 m and mass M = 10.0 kg. The fixed, wedge-shaped ramp makes an angle of θ = 30.0∘ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.360 for both blocks. (i) (a) Draw force diagrams of both blocks and of the pulley. No file chosen (b) Determine the acceleration of the two blocks. (Enter the magnitude of the acceleration.) m/s2 (c) Determine the tensions in the string on both sides of the pulley. left of the pulley N right of the pulley N
