During a storm, a tree limb breaks off and comes to rest across a barbed wire fence at a point that is not in the middle between two fence posts. The limb exerts a downward force of 271 N on the wire. The left section of the wire makes an angle of 11.6∘ relative to the horizontal and sustains a tension of 496 N. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle relative to horizontal) of the tension that the right section of the wire sustains. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Tarzan, who weighs 870 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a 22.2 m vine that hangs from a high tree limb and initially makes an angle of 25.2∘ with the vertical. Assume that an x-axis points horizontally away from the cliff edge and a y-axis extends upward. Immediately after Tarzan steps off the cliff, the tension in the vine is 787 N. Just then, what are (a) the force from the vine on Tarzan in unit-vector notation, and (b) the net force acting on Tarzan in unit-vector notation? What are (c) the magnitude and (d) the direction (measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis) of the net force acting on Tarzan? What are (e) the magnitude and (f) the direction of Tarzan's acceleration just then? (a) Number i^ + j^ Units (b) Number i^ + j^ Units (c) Number Units (d) Number Units (e) Number Units (f) Number Units

A constant horizontal force F→a pushes a 8.70 kg FedEx package across a frictionless floor on which an xy coordinate system has been drawn. The figure gives the package's x and y velocity components versus time t. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of F→a? Give the direction as a positive or negative angle of magnitude less than 180∘ relative to the +x-axis. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

The figure shows a particle that carries a charge of q0 = −2.87×10−6 C. It is moving along the +y axis at a speed of v = 4.73×106 m/s. A magnetic field B→ of magnitude 3.48×10−5 T is directed along the +z axis, and an electric field E→ of magnitude 116 N/C points along the −x axis. Determine (a) the magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle within x - y plane with respect to +x-axis in the range (−180∘, 180∘]) of the net force that acts on the particle.
