One end of a uniform 4.10-m-long rod of weight F, is supported by a cable at an angle of 0 = 37° with the rod. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is μ = 0.535. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional object, also with the same weight Fg, can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.

A One end of a metal rod of weight Fg and length L presses against a corner between a wall and the floor (Fig. P14.64). A rope is attached to the other end of the rod. Find the magnitude of the tension in the rope if the angle between the rod and the rope is 90.
A 20.0-kg horizontal plank 4.00 m long rests on two supports, one at the left end and a second 1.00 m from the right end. What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the plank by the support near the right end? (a) 32.0 N (b) 45.2 N (c) 112 N (d) 131 N (e) 98.2 N
Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle? FIGURE P5.76
A cylinder having a mass of 200 kg is to be supported by the cord that wraps over the pipe. Determine the largest vertical force F that can be appl to the cord without moving the cylinder. The cord passes two times over the pipe. Take s = 0.2.
Logs weighing 1.3 kg and 2.2 kg lie on a flat surface and are connected by a rope that breaks at a force of 20 N. The coefficient of friction between the lighter log and the base is 0.50, and between the heavier log and the base 0.30. With what maximum force can we pull the lighter log so that the string does not break?
You are holding a bulletin board weighing 6.0 N in place against a wall while your friend secures it to the wall. To keep it from slipping, you apply a force perpen- dicular to the bulletin board, pressing it directly into the wall. How large must this force be if the coefficient of static friction with the wall is 0.407

Some insects can walk below a thin rod (such as a twig) by hanging from it. Suppose that such an insect has mass m and hangs from a horizontal rod with angle u = 40. Its six legs are all under the same tension, and the leg sections nearest the body are horizontal. (a) What is the ratio of the tension in each tibia (forepart of a leg) to the insect’s weight? (b) If the insect straightens out its legs somewhat, does the tension in each tibia increase, decrease, or stay the same?
