It is a sad day in Oman: 11-01-2020. The flag poles around the country are lowered. One end of horizontal
flagpoles of mass 33 kg is hinged to the wall, the other side is hanging by a wire that makes angles 0 = 30°
with both the flag pole and the wall. What is:
(a) the tension in the wire
(a) Find the tension in each cable supporting the 536-N cat burglar. (Assume the angle θ of the inclined cable is 31.0°.)
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?
Logs weighing 1.3 kg and 2.2 kg lie on a flat surface and are connected by a rope that breaks at a force of 20 N. The coefficient of friction between the lighter log and the base is 0.50, and between the heavier log and the base 0.30. With what maximum force can we pull the lighter log so that the string does not break?
