    THOMAS: (smiles pleasantly) Oh, I don't know him that much. I think I first met him when he was smoking outside the Hotel D'Pratteux. I told him smoking was bad. He smiled and put it out. Nice little kid. Such a shame.

    What other contact have you had with him? What else do you know about him?

    I agree with witness for now.

    What do you do in the park at 7 AM and why 7 AM?

    Besides the car, did you see anything else different in the park from the usual? Maybe someone walking around there who usually isn't? Show him a photograph of the victim and ask if he knows him. Watch his reaction carefully.

    What do the symbols look like? Are they actually important? Does it look like someone pushed the car in or someone crashed into it with something else? Again, any footprints? Ask if anyone in the crowd saw anything.

    @ MiKi- :lol: I knew that was coming as soon as I saw the taser wasn't on the list.

    Does it look like there was a struggle? Are there any footprints or have your friends in the police department already destroyed those? Any idea who the person is? Anything in pockets?

    I'm going over my notes to get ready for the final and my notes for this problem are blurred and don't make sense to me. Anyone good at physics?

    A traffic light is hanging from a pole. The uniform pole (AB) is 7.5 m long and has a mass of 12 kg. The mass of the traffic light is 21.5 kg. Determine the tension in the horizontal massless cable (CD) and the vertical and horizontal components of the force exerted by the pivot (A) on the pole.

    Notes:

    D is the point where the cable meets the diagonal pole.

    B is the end of the diagonal pole.

    AC = 3.8 m.

    The angle formed by the cable and the diagonal pole is 37 degrees.

    I can't upload the actual image so this is my best shot at it.

    I have sum of torques = .5(7.5 m)(12 kg)(g)sin 127° + something that doesn't make sense.

    I'm also unsure about how that works. I've been using torque = rFsin(theta) so I've been assuming the .5(7.5) is the center of gravity used for r. Is that right? I also don't understand why 127°. It would by the supplemental angle to the inside angle formed by AC and AD but why use that?

    For the horizontal component, I have sum of forces = F of x + tension x cos 180° = 0

    For the vertical component, I have sum of forces = F of y - weight of pole (AB) - weight of light = 0

    Does that look right?

    @ MiKi- :lol: I was just kidding. :hug: Wait. What's this?! A confession?! :o:unsure:

    @David- Some us here can be a little crazy at times and some may be the reason you end up in a mental asylum but everyone around here is pretty friendly. Feel free to check out Mafia. As MiKi said, we're looking for new players for Trainers Manual Mafias (TMMs). Most people enjoy it. If you don't, well, you've probably read about MiKi's "affinity to tasers" by now and her tendency to use it to its "maximum potential." ;)
