Two telephone poles are separated by 40 m and connected by a wire. A bird of mass 0.5 kg lands on the wire midway between the poles, causing the wire to sag 2 m below horizontal. Assuming the wire has negligible mass, what is the tension in the wire?
A cargo ship has been badly loaded and is dangerously down at the stern. Fortunately, there is a massless crane based on the ship near its bow. The captain decides to balance the ship by using the crane to lift a container from near the stern, move it horizontally forwards, and lower it onto the bow. When does the ship's angle begin to improve?
A child drags a heavy, rubber-soled shoe by its laces across a sidewalk at a constant speed of 0.35 m/s. The shoe has a mass of 1.56 kg and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.65. What is the force exerted by the child? (Assume the sole is in contact with the sidewalk, not bouncing around and that the child pulls horizontally.)
