A 2000 g mass is placed on a table and is attached to a mass of 400 g by a string. A pulley is placed at the edge of the table and the 400 g mass is placed so that its weight pulls horizontally on the 2000 g mass. The whole thing barely begins to move.
Draw a free body diagram.

Kathryn ties a light rope to a tree, and pulls with a force of 355 N. The rope almost breaks.
unties the rope from the tree, and gives the end to her friend Isabel, who also pulls with a

The "Giant Swing" at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper end as shown in (Figure 1). Each arm supports a seat suspended from a 5.00-mm-long rod, the upper end of which is fastened to the arm at a point RRR = 1.80 mm from the central shaft.
a)Make a free-body diagram of the seat, including the person in it. Draw the force vectors with their tails starting from the center of the dot. The location and orientation of your vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors will not be graded.
b)Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the rod supporting the seat makes an angle of θθtheta = 32.0 ∘with the vertical.
