2. In this lab you will use a cart that has a fan mounted on it as seen in Figure 1. The fan will push the cart along a track. Draw a free body diagram showing the force from the fan and the force of friction acting on the fan cart. Write an equation showing the total force acting on the cart. Figure 1: Fan cart

A picture frame is hung using two cords on a wall, as illustrated in the figure. If the mass of the frame is 350 g: (i) Calculate the tension in each of the cords? (ii) If the left string is cut what is the tension in the right string?
A 14.8 kg load of bricks (m1) hangs from one end of a rope that passes over a small, frictionless pulley, called an Atwood’s machine. A 27.4 kg counterweight (m2) is suspended from the other end of the rope, as shown in (Figure 1). The system is released from rest. What is the magnitude of the upward acceleration of the load of bricks? a = ? What is the tension in the rope while the load is moving? T = ? How does the tension compare to the weight of the load of bricks? The tension is greater than the weight of the load of bricks. The tension is less than the weight of the load of bricks. The tension is equal to the weight of the load of bricks. How does the tension compare to the weight of the counterweight? The tension is greater than the weight of the counterweight. The tension is less than the weight of the counterweight. The tension is equal to the weight of the counterweight.
Even though you are measuring the pulling force rather than the frictional force, the two have equal magnitude when the cart is not moving. Explain why this is (and draw pictures/diagrams to help).
A metal block of mass m is attached to the ceiling by a spring. Connected to the bottom of this block is a string that supports a second block of the same mass m, as shown in the figure(Figure 1). The string connecting the two blocks is now cut. What is the net force acting on the two-block system immediately after the string is cut? What is the acceleration of the center of mass of the two-block system immediately after the string is cut?
Please see the image provided for context and solve the following problem: Solve for and use the magnitude of the force of friction on Debbie and the tension in the rope to solve the problem. The bruin is hungrier than Sarita anticipated, and she decided she needs to pull harder, accelerating Debbie up the rocky slope. Sarita's rope can only manage a tension of 950N. What is the maximum acceleration Sarita can accomplish with this rope?
hi , pls help me understand how this is solve. thank you so much a) a dictionary is pulled to the right at constant velocity by a 10N force acting 30 degrees upward above the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the horizontal surface is 0.5. what is the weight of the book? also, pls draw a diagram with proper labels for added information so I can understand it fully. thanks again

Two objects with masses of 3.00 kg and 5.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley, as in the figure below. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for each object. Determine (b) the tension in the string, (c) the acceleration of each object, and (d) the distance each object will move in the first second of motion if both objects start from rest.
In rock climbing, various rope and pulley systems have been devised to help haul up heavy loads, including injured climbers. A rescuer is hauling up an injured climber who weighs 570 NN using the rope and pulley system shown in (Figure 1). (The ropes in this figure are drawn at various angles for clarity, but you can assume they're all vertical.) What is the tension in rope 1, the rope that the rescuer pulls on? What is the tension in rope 2?
A 1200-kg car is held in place by a light cable on a very smooth (frictionless) ramp, as shown in the figure (Figure 1). The cable makes an angle of 31.0 above the surface of the ramp, and the ramp itself rises at 25.0 above the horizontal. Find the tension in the cable and how hard does the surface of the ramp push on the car?
