A force F is applied to each of two ropes (of negligible weight) attached to opposite ends of a 40-kg wagon and making an angle of 35◦ with the horizontal (refer to figure below). What is the maximum magnitude of F (in newtons) that can be applied without lifting the wagon off the ground?
Suppose a bag of nails is attached to a supporting rod by a rope. Note that the bag hangs motionless (i.e. does not move) from the rod. If the force of gravity on the bag is 25 N and the mass of the bag is 2.55 kg, the tension is:
The resultant of the forces P1, P2, and the couple C is the force R = 12 k lb acting at point A ( R is not shownin the figure). Determine P1, P2, and C.
