2. The rope extends from point B through a metal loop attached to the wall at A to point C. The rope exerts forces \(F_{AB}\) and \(F_{AC}\) on the loop at A each with a magnitude of 200 lb. What is the Cartesian formulation of the total force \(F = F_{AB} + F_{AC}\) and the magnitude of the total force exerted on the loop by the rope? (12 points)

Step 1
Since force is typically measured in pounds (lb), let's convert the measurements to feet. 2 ft 7 in = 2 ft + 7/12 ft = 2.583 ft 6 ft = 6 ft Show more…

A 62 kg rock climber is attached to a rope that is allowing him to hang horizontally with his feet against the wall. The tension in the rope is 7.1 × 10² N, and the rope makes an angle of 32° with the horizontal. Determine the force exerted by the wall on the climber's feet. [ans: 6.5 × 10² N [left 21° up]]

An object is being lowered by a rope down to the ground at a constant velocity of 2.0 m/s [down]. The force of gravity acting on the object is 600 N [down]. What is the tension in the rope? (Draw a FBD for the object first).

Light rope is wrapped around a frictionless pulley. On one end, a force of 60 N is applied downward. A kg mass is connected to the free end of the rope. Calculate the acceleration of the kg mass (5.2 m/s^2 up). Suppose the kg mass is connected to the free end of the rope. Calculate the acceleration of the kg mass now. (Assume the 60 N force is no longer applied)
