In order to get his car out of the mud, a man ties one end of a rope to the front bumper and the other end to a tree 7.4 m away, as shown below. He then pulls on the center of the rope with a force of 490 N, which causes its center to be displaced 0.98 m, as shown. What is the force (in N) of the rope on the car? (Enter the magnitude.) 490 N 0.98 m 7.4 m

A student gets his car stuck in a snow drift. Not at a loss, having studied physics, he attaches one end of a stout rope to the vehicle and the other end to the trunk of a nearby tree, allowing for a small amount of slack. The student then exerts a force F on the center of the rope in the direction perpendicular to the car-tree line, as shown in the figure below. If the rope is inextensible and if the magnitude of the applied force is 483 N, what is the force on the car? (Assume equilibrium conditions.) kN 12 m Tree 0.50 m F
