Problem 56. Your car is stuck in a mud hole. You are alone but have a long, strong rope. Having studied physics you tie the rope tautly to a telephone pole and pull on it sideways as in the figure below. A) Find the forces exerted by the rope on the car when 0 = 3° and you are pulling with a force of 400 N and the car does not budge. B) How strong must the rope be if it takes a force F of 600 N to move the car when 0= 4°. Pole Car

In a tug-of-war game on one campus, 15 students pull on a rope at both ends in an effort to displace the central knot to one side or the other. Two students pull with force 196 N each to the light, four students pull with force 98 N each to the left, five students pull with force 62 N each to the left, three students pull with force 150 N each to the right, and one student pulls with force 250 N to the left. Assuming the positive direction to the tight, express the net pull on the knot in terms of the unit vector. How big is the net pull on the knot? In what direction?

Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle? FIGURE P5.76
