Identify type of conic and more... Homework Statement Identify the type of conic, find the vertices, the foci, directrix, and asymptotes (if they exist) for the equation e=45/(10+9sin(θ))Homework Equations As far as equations I don't know of any to help me find which type of conic, or any...

So let's pretend in the question she didnt make the mistake of saying 3m. Then tanθ=5/6 so theta = 39.8° Tx =Mgcos(39.8°)? Lets set it at the far right. Tension from the cable is involved due to the Mg. Pretty dusty on this May I get a little more actual guidance?

Thanks for the reply. In drastic need of help.. ƩFx =Nx-Tx=0 so Nx=Tx ƩFy =(μs*Nx)+Ty=0 Ʃτ = What do I put here? I'm lost.

Homework Statement One end of a uniform 3 m beam, that weighs 15 N, is supported by a mass-less cable. The other end rests against the wall. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the beam is μs=.5 Figure: http://i.imgur.com/Ad9R2.jpg?1 Determine the minimum distance x...
