Arlene is to walk across a "high wire" strung horizontally between two buildings 10.0 m apart. The sag in the rope when she is at the midpoint is 10.0∘, as shown below. If her mass is 50.0 kg, what is the tension in the rope at this point? Arelene's weight is 490 N. What is the net force on Arlene if the tension is 1500 N? Is the direction of the net force up or down?

Problem Statement: Dianne the Duck is moving along a straight line in a river. The net force on Dianne is shown on the graph below. (a) What is the total work done on Dianne as she moves from x = 0 m to x = 10 m? (b) If Dianne's mass is 1.25 kg, and she initially started her 10 m trip with a speed of 2.828 m/s (i. e. when she passed x = 0), what is her speed when she reaches x = 10 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.

An arbitrarily curved wire that carries a current between two endpoints in the presence of a uniform magnetic field will experience the same net magnetic force as a straight wire carrying the same current between the same endpoints. Essentially, any forces experienced by parts of the wire that curve or twist away from the straight-line path are canceled out by forces on sections that curve back toward the original path. Furthermore, if the wire forms a closed loop in between the endpoints, the net force on the closed loop is zero. Using this result, consider a town where the Earth's magnetic field has a magnitude of 51.3 μT. The magnetic field vector lies in a vertical plane defined by the north-south and up-down axes, and it points 60.0∘ below the northward direction. In this town, a storefront window lies along the north-south vertical plane, and in the window is a neon sign (which is a thin current-carrying discharge tube). The sign carries a 35.1 mA current, starting from the lower south corner of the window, and ending at the opposite corner, which is 1.32 m to the north and 0.850 m upward. The sign spells out the word "BURGERS" between the two points. What is the net vector magnetic force (in μN ) on the neon sign? (Take east to be the +x-axis, up to be the +y-axis, and south to be the +z-axis. Do not include units in your answer.) F→B = μN
