Consider the figure below. An illustration shows a burglar suspended from the lower end of a vertical cable. The upper end of the cable is attached to one end of a horizontal cable and one end of a diagonal cable. The horizontal cable extends to the left and terminates at a vertical wall. The diagonal cable extends upward and to the right and terminates at a horizontal surface with which it forms an angle θ. (a) Find the tension in each cable supporting the 608-N cat burglar. (Assume the angle θ of the inclined cable is 32.0°.) inclined cable N horizontal cable N vertical cable N (b) Suppose the horizontal cable were reattached higher up on the wall. Would the tension in the inclined cable increase, decrease, or stay the same? increase decrease stay the same

A 560-N uniform rectangular sign 4.00 m wide and 3.00 m high is suspended from a horizontal, 6.00-m-long, uniform, 120-N rod as indicated in the figure below. The left end of the rod is supported by a hinge and the right end is supported by a thin cable making a 30.0° angle with the vertical. (Assume the cable is connected to the very end of the 6.00-m-long rod, and that there are 2.00 m separating the wall from the sign.)...

A hungry bear weighing 735 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam (see the figure below). The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 5.00 m long, and it is supported by a wire at an angle of θ = 60.0°. The basket weighs 80.0 N. A horizontal plank is attached at the left end to a vertical wall. A rod with a pulley...

A small wooden block with mass 0.750 kg is suspended from the lower end of a light cord that is 1.72 m long. The block is initially at rest. A bullet with mass 0.0136 kg is fired at the block with a horizontal velocity v0. The bullet strikes the block and becomes embedded in it. After the collision the combined object swings on the end of the cord. When the block has risen a vertical height of 0.700 m ,...
