Y10 Translational Equilibrium

1. For the situation shown to the right, find the values of T1 and T2
50°
if the weight is 600. N.
T2

T1 600.N

2. Examine the diagram to the right.


What force F is required to keep the 60.0 kg mass in
translational equilibrium? 40°
F

3. An 11 kg lamp is supported between two vertical poles by


two wires attached as shown to the right. What is
the tension in the right wire?

4. Two wires are used to suspend a sign that weighs 500. N.


The two wires make an angle of 100° between each other. If each wire is exerting an
equal amount of force, how much force does each wire exert?

5. What must the tension in each cable be in the diagram in


order to support the cargo in static equilibrium? Note that
pulleys only change the direction of the force, not the
magnitude.
6. What will the unknown angle θ be in order 2.0 m for the pulley
system to the right to be in static fixed
equilibrium? Note that the 80 N weight is
θ pulley
attached to a free-moving pulley, and the
cable is fastened to the wall on the left.

80 N 400 N

7. In the system to the right, the pulleys are frictionless and the system hangs in equilibrium.
Determine the values of each of the unknown weights.

8. The following forces pull on a ring along the same plane (i.e. coplanar): 200 N at
30° E of N, 500 N at 10° N of E, 300 N at 60° W of S, and an unknown force that keeps the
ring in equilibrium. Find the magnitude and direction of this unknown force.
