5. A box with a weight of 50 N rests on a horizontal surface. A person pulls horizontany on it with a force F-15 N and it does not move. To start it moving, a second person pulls vertically upward on the box. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.4, what is uie smallest vertical force (F,) for which the box moves?

(c) It is equal to 200 N. (d) None of those statements is necessarily true.
Ina traction setup a broken bone, with pulleys and rope available, how might we be able to Increase the force along the tibia using the weight? (See Figure 4.30) (Note that the tibia is the shin bone shown in this image.) Figure 4.30 A leg is suspended by a traction system in which wires used to transmit forces. Frictionless pulleys crw.ge the direction of the force T without changing Its magnitude.

Two people pull as hard as they can on horizontal ropes attached to a boat that has a mass of 200 kg. If they pull in the same direction, the boat has an acceleration of 1.52 m/s2 to the right. If they pull in opposite directions, the boat has an acceleration of 0.518 m/s2 to the left. What is the magnitude of the force each person exerts on the boat? Disregard any other horizontal forces on the boat.
