13. 7/13 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics Example: Particle Movement A 2 kg particle moves along an x axis, being propelled by a variable force directed along that axis. Its position is given by x = 3 m + (4 m/s)t + ct 2 – (2 m/s 3 )t 3, with x in meters and t in seconds. The factor c is a constant. At t = 3 s, the force on the particle has a magnitude of 36 N and is in the negative direction of the axis. What is c?

15. 7/15 Erwin SitompulUniversity Physics: Mechanics A traffic light weighing 122 N hangs from a cable tied to two other cables fastened to a support, as in the figure below. The upper cables make angles of 37° and 53° with the horizontal. These upper cables are not as strong as the vertical cable and will break if the tension in them exceeds 100N. Will the traffic light remain hanging in this situation, or will one of the cables break? Homework 6: The Traffic Light
