4.) The figure shows a medicine ball hanging from the ceiling. Find the tension in each of the three ropes. Start with a free-body diagram for the ball (two forces), and then draw a new free-body diagram for the knot (assume the knot is massless).

A 1.00-kg mass (m1) on a frictionless inclined surface is connected to a 2.00-kg mass (m2). The pulley is massless and frictionless. The 2.00-kg mass is acted on by an upward force F = 5.30 N and has a downward acceleration of 5.50 m/s^2. What is the tension in the connecting cord? What is the angle theta (in degrees)?

A weight of 500 pounds is supported by two ropes that exert forces of $\mathbf{a}=\langle-100,200\rangle$ pounds and $\mathbf{b}=\langle 100,300\rangle$ pounds. Find the angle $\theta$ between the ropes. (FIGURE CANT COPY)

Where we used the law of cosines and the law of sines to solve the applied problems. For this exercise set, solve the problem using the vector form $$\mathbf{v}=|\mathbf{v}|[(\cos \theta) \mathbf{i}+(\sin \theta) \mathbf{j}]$$ A 2500 -kg block is suspended by two ropes, as shown. Find the tension in each rope.
