Answer #1

The angle between the dogs, theta = 59 degrees

The force exerted by dog A, FA = 258 N

The force exerted by dog B, FB = 338 N

The magnitude of the resultant force, F = FA cos(theeta) + FB cos(theeta)

                                                            = 258 cos31 + 338 cos31 = 510.87 N

The angle that the resultant force makes with dog A's rope = 31 degrees.

A 14 lb. teapot hangs by two massless ropes attached to the ceiling, each at a 45 degree angle. If the teapot isn't moving, it is in static equilibrium. We know that the net force on the teapot must be zero. Since there is a 14 lb. force down on the teapot (its weight), where does the missing force to somehow add up to zero come from and what is the force of the massless ropes?

A 70 kg climber is ascending a rockface that is inclined at an angle of 60◦ above the horizontal. (a) At one point, the climber is unable to find a toehold for their left foot, and has to rely on the friction between the rockface and their shoe to support themselves while they plan their next move. You can assume that their weight is evenly distributed between their two feet. i) What is the frictional force between their left shoe...
