1b. The actual apparatus has a pulley in the middle of the rope. The cable
parallels one side of the rope, goes over the pulley and down to the lava
pool. The reason for this is that simply tightening the rope cant lift the lava
sample out. Here's why: calculate how much tension would be needed in the
rope to decrease the angle to 5.

a. Write an equation for all the forces and components of force on the box in
the vertical direction.
c. Write an equation for all the forces and components of force on the box in
the horizontal direction.
d. Calculate the size of the frictional force opposing the motion of the box.
3. Determine the weight of the tram. The cable at left exerts a 30,000 N force.
(The tram is attached to the cable so the tension in the left cable is not
necessarily equal to the tension in the right cable.)
4. In the space at right, draw the force diagram for a bear climbing a hill at
constant speed.
a. Write the equation that describes the forces that act parallel to the ramp.
b. Write the equation that describes the forces that act perpendicular to the
ramp.
c. If the mass of the bear is 400 kg, determine the value of the normal force.
d. Calculate the force on the car that allows it to go up the hill. Show your
work.
