Q1. Consider the 642 N weights held by two cables shown. The left-hand cable had tension T2 and makes an angle of thelta2 with ceiling. The right-hand cable had tension 460 N and makes an angle of 47 degrees with the ceiling.
Q2. A thin uniform rod 172 cm long is balanced 57 cm from one end when an object whose mass is (2m + 2.0 grams) is at the end nearest the pivot and an object of mass m is at the opposite end. Balance is again achieved if the object whose mass is (2m + 2.0 grams) is replaced by the object of mass m and no object is placed at the other end of the rod. Determine the mass of the rod. (Assume A = 162 cm, B = 54 cm, and C = 108 cm.)
