Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 68P
Take μk = 0.75 in Example 5.11, and plot the tension force in units of the trunk’s weight, as a function of the rope angle θ (that is, plot T/mg versus θ). Use your plot to determine (a) the minimum tension necessary to move the trunk and (b) the angle at which this minimum tension should be applied.

A 60.0 cm, uniform, 50.0 N shelf is supported horizontally by two vertical wires attached to the sloping ceiling (Fig. ). A very small 25.0 N tool is placed on the shelf midway between the points where the wires are attached to it. Find the tension in each wire. Begin by making a free-body diagram of the shelf.
A student is trying to determine the critical angle (0) at which block will slide down
an incline. She knows the coefficient of static friction between the incline and the
block is 0.53 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.44. Neglect drag.
Hint: One way to solve the problem is to solve for all quantities in terms of m, e and
g (but not u), then use f= uN and a trig identity to solve for 0.
