A $12\ \text{kg}$ sign hangs from two equal strings, each pulling with $120\ \text{N}$ . What angle, in degrees, does each string make with the vertical? Take $g = 10\ \text{m/s}^2$ .

Type your answer as a number (a decimal point is allowed). A wrong answer may cost marks.

← A 5.0 kg trolley runs on a smooth track. A cord from it passes over a wheel at the end of the track to a 5.0 kg weight, which falls. What force, in newtons, does the cord exert on the trolley? Take g = 10 m/s².Movers let a crate slide down a loading ramp tilted at 30°; the ramp's surface gives µk = 0.20. Taking g = 9.8 m/s², how quickly does the crate gain speed? →
