A rope wraps an angle φ around a pole. You grab one end and pull with a tension T1.

The other
end is attached to a large object, say, a boat. If the coefficient of static friction between the
rope and the pole is μ, what is the largest force the rope can exert on the boat, if the rope is to
not slip around the pole?
