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

Bank robbers have pushed a 1000 kg safe to a third-story floor-toceiling window. They plan to break the window and lower the safe 10.0 m to their truck. Not being too clever, they stack up 500 kg of furniture, tie a rope between the safe and the furniture, and place the rope over a pulley. Then they push the safe out of the window. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the furniture and the floor is 0.5. The rope would break if the force on it exceeds 5000 N. a) Does the rope break? b) What is the acceleration of the safe? c) What is the safe’s speed when it hits the truck?
