A person would like to pull a car out of a ditch. This person ties one end of a chain to the car’s bumper and wraps the other end around a tree so that the chain is taut. The person then pulls on the chain perpendicular to its length, as shown in the picture. The magnitude of the force that the chain exerts on the car in this situation is:

A. Much smaller than the force the person exerts on the chain.

B. About equal to the force the person exerts on the chain.

C. Much bigger than the force the person exerts on the chain.

Imagine that a helicopter’s rotor spins clockwise. The helicopter engine must continually exert a torque on the rotor to keep it spinning against the drag that the air exerts on the rotor. Note that a helicopter is usually designed so that its center of mass is directly under the rotor. In order for the helicopter to hover motionless in the air, a small rotor at the helicopter’s tail is necessary. As viewed by someone looking at the tail from the helicopter’s front, the small rotor must blow air:

A. To the left.

B. To the right.

C. Vertically upward.

D. Vertically downward.

E. In some combination of these directions.
