 2.) A large wrecking ball is held in place by two light steel cables. If the mass m of the wrecking ball is 3620 kg,
what are (a) the tension TB in the cable that makes an angle of 40_ with the vertical and (b) the tension TA in the
horizontal cable?

GIVEN:
m=3620 kg , a=40˚

SOLUTION:

3.) A 5.00-kg box is moving to the right with speed 3.00 m/s on a horizontal, frictionless surface.
At t = 0 a horizontal force is applied to the box. The force is directed to the left and has
magnitude F(t) = (8:00N=s2)t2. (a) What distance does the box move from its position at
t = 0 before its speed is reduced to zero? (b) If the force continues to be applied, what is the
speed of the box at t = 3:00 s?
