Mountaineers often use a rope to lower themselves down the face of a cliff (this is called rappelling). they do this with their body nearly horizontal and their feet pushing against the cliff (fig. 8). suppose that an 76.5 kg climber, who is 1.78 m tall and has a center of gravity 1.5 m from his feet, rappels down a vertical cliff with his body raised 41.8◦ above the horizontal. he holds the rope 1.31 m from his feet, and it makes a 29.8◦ angle with the cliff face. (a) what tension does his rope need to support? (b) find the horizontal component of the force that the cliff face exerts on the climber’s feet. (c) find the vertical component of the force that the cliff face exerts on the climber’s feet. (d) what minimum coefficient of static friction is needed to prevent the climber’s feet from slipping on the cliff face if he has one foot at a time against the cliff?

Two charged particles, q1 and q2, are located on the x-axis, with q1 at the origin and q2 initially at x1 = 12.2 mm. in this configuration, q1 exerts a repulsive force of 2.62 µn on q2. particle q2 is then moved to x2 = 18.0 mm. what is the force (magnitude and direction) that q2 exerts on q1 at this new location? (give the magnitude in µn.)
