A huge pendulum is made out of a 10.5-m cable attached at the top to a steel beam. The bottom of the cable is attached to a 60.0-kg anvil that swings back and forth. At the very bottom of its swing, the anvil travels at a speed of 1.59 m/s. Find the tension (in N) in the cable. (You may assume that the cable itself has negligible mass.
An object with a mass of m = 10kg is placed on an inclined plane with a level surface = 30 inclination angle shown in the figure. Find the acceleration affecting the object. (sin30 = 0.50 cos30 = 0.87)
