A sailor wraps a heavy rope around a bollard (a vertical post) to secure a drifting ship to a pier. The sailor can apply a force of 400 N to the free end of the rope. With what force can the ship pull on the rope before another sailor will have to be called? Consider (a) one wrap, (b) two wraps, (c) three wraps. Assume a coefficient of friction of 0.35.
