A light rope is attached to a block with mass of 4. 00 keg that rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface.
The horizontal rope passes over a frictionless, measles’s pulley and a block of mass m is suspended from the other end. When the blocks are released, the tension in the rope is 10. 0 N. A.

An adventurous archaeologist (figure 2) crosses between two rock cliffs by slowly going hand-over-hand along a rope stretched between the cliffs. He stops to rest at the middle of the rope. The rope will break if the tension if the tension in it exceeds 2. 5 x 104 N, and our hero’s mass is 90. 0 keg. O a. If the angle B is 10. 0 , find the tension in the rope. B. What is the smallest value the angle B can have if the rope is not to break? Figure 2 6. Two crates connected by a rope lie on a horizontal surface. Crate A has mass ma and crate B has mass MBA. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each crate and the surface is PC.

The tension in the rope connecting the blocks. 7. Blocks A, B and C (figure 3)are placed as shown in the diagram below, and connected by ropes of negligible mass. Both A and B weigh 25. 0 N each and the coefficient of the kinetic friction between each block and the surface is 0. 35. Block C descends with constant velocity. A.
