1. An object is suspended on a frictionless inclined plane by a rope parallel to the incline as shown. If the
angle of the incline is 25o and the tension in the rope is 5000. N, what is the weight of the object?
25o
2. A 200.0 N child sitting on a playground swing is being pushed by her father. When the rope makes an angle of
27o to the vertical what is the force exerted by her father? What is the tension in the rope, T?
T=?
27o
F=?
Fg = 200.0 N
3. Find the tensions T1 and T2 in the ropes shown in the diagram.
80o
T2
T1
68o
75 N
m=?
5. A 735 N mountain climber is rappelling down the face of a vertical cliff as shown in the
diagram. If the rope makes an angle of 12o with the cliff face, what is the tension in the rope?
Assume that the climber pushes horizontally off of the cliff. 12o
It’s late so
this is a
climber
