A uniform plank of length 2.00 m and mass 30.0 kg is supported by three ropes, as indicated by the blue vectors in Figure P8.27. Find the tension in each rope when a 700.-N person is d = 0.500 m
from the left end.

You hang a book bag on a spring scale and place the bag on a platform scale so that the platform scale reads 23.7n and the spring scale reads 13.8n. what is the magnitude of the force that earth exerts on the bag?

Students in an introductory physics lab are performing an experiment with a parallel-plate capacitor made of two circular aluminum plates, each 11 cm in diameter, separated by 1.0 cm. how much charge can be added to each of the plates before a spark jumps between the two plates? for such flat electrodes, assume that value of 3×106n/c of the field causes a spark.

Earth's atmosphere is composed of mostly two gases. name the two gases that make up the majority of the atmosphere and use the pie chart to tell the percentages of each.
