Question:

Your car is stuck in a mudhole. You are alone, but you have a long, strong rope. Having studied physics, you tie the rope tautly to a telephone pole and pull on it sideways, as shown in Figure 4-32. 

(a) Find the force exerted by the rope on the car when the angle θ is 3° and you are pulling with a force of 400 N but the car does not move. 

(b) How strong must the rope be if it takes a force of 600 N to move the car when θ = 4°?
