Lame and Particle 2D 3D

The document contains 14 multi-part physics and engineering problems involving forces, tensions, and trigonometry. The problems involve determining unknown forces, tensions, angles and magnitudes given certain known values and the condition that the resultant force is vertical or a cable is taut. Trigonometric methods are used to solve for the unknown values.
