    Two workers pull horizontally on a heavy box

    My solution for finding the direction of the smaller pull is slightly off from the text solution. I am unsure why. Assuming the larger vector is ##\vec B##, the smaller ##\vec A##, and the resultant ##\vec C##. My solution for the direction of this smaller pull (for the smaller pull in quadrant...

    How to find the angle where the required pull is minimum?

    Can I get some help on how I'd do that? I would parametrize the angle in the equation of where T = 188N and then take the derivative. And then, what should I do then? it's not T' = 0 and I didn't have maxima minima vals in calc so yeah. Thanks in advance.

    What speed v(t) enables constant power by solenoid pull?

    Assuming the position x = 0 if no air gap, max stroke of plunger is L. Bordery conditions: x(t=0) = L, x(t=T)= 0. Given magnetic force F(x) = kx(t)^-2, here k is constant. If uncontrolled, there is big crash noise afer solenoid actuated, so I wish it pull plunger at constant power. Help me find...

    If I pull a pulley, what is the tension in the string around it?

    I assumed that each of the masses attached to the string would be pulled with a force F, instead of F/2, which appears to be the correct value. Why is it F/2? I suspect the fact that the pulley is "weightless" has something to do with the F/2 value. What is it? Thank you.
