there is a 100.0m bridge that weighs 1.1kg that suspended by two ropes at each end, and on this bridge, there is a 0.6kg mass suspended. So my question is, if I know the left rope tension to be 11.57N and the right rope tension to be 7.06N how do I find how far the mass is suspended from the left rope.

Campers often hang their food between two trees. A food bag that weighs 435 N and is hung from ropes between two trees that are 6m apart. One rope is 4m long and one rope is 5m long. The ropes attach to the trees in the same horizontal plane. Find the tension in each rope. (Final answer should be 328.8 N and 246.6 N)

A tightrope walker who weighs 610 N walks along a steel cable. When he is halfway across, the cable makes an angle of 0.040 rad below the horizontal. (a) What is the strain in the cable? Assume the cable is horizontal with tension of 80 N before he steps onto it. Ignore the weight of the cable itself. (b) What is the tension in the cable when the tightrope walker is standing at the midpoint? (c) What is the cross-sectional...

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.)...

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...

Tarzan, who weighs 861 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a 18.4 m vine that hangs from a high tree limb and initially makes an angle of 23.4° 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 790 N. Just then, what are (a) the force from the vine on Tarzan in...
