5. Two men are trying to pull a box which will not move until 200 N total force is applied in any one direction. Man A can pull only at 45° to the desired direction of the box motion, whereas man B can pull only at 60° to the desired motion. What force must each man exert to start the box moving as shown in the figure below? Desired motion

Physics Review A construction cranes cable lifts a 50.0-kg box upward with an acceleration of 1.50 m/s2. Find the tension in the rope. (See Section 4.5.)
What force is exerted on the tooth in Figure 4.38 if the tension in the wire is 25.0 N? Note that the force applied to the tooth is smaller than the tension in the wire, but this is necessitated by practical considerations of how force can be applied in the mouth. Explicitly show how you follow steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion. Figure 4.38 Braces are used to apply forces to teeth to realign them. Shown in this figure are the tensions applied by the wire to the protruding tooth. The total force applied to the tooth by the wire, Fapp, points straight toward the back of the mouth.
If the acceleration of a system is zero, are no external forces acting on it? What about internal forces? Explain your answers.
A box rests on the back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the bed of the truck is 0.800. (a) When the truck accelerates forward, what force accelerates the box? (b) Find the maximum acceleration the truck can have before the box slides.
If a leg is suspended by a traction setup as shown in Figure 4.30, what is the tension in the rope? Figure 4.30 A leg is suspended by a traction system in which wires are used to transmit forces. Frictionless pulleys change the direction of the force T without changing its magnitude.
A horse is harnessed to a sled having a mass of 236 kg, including supplies. The horse must exert a force exceeding 1 240 N at an angle of 35.0 in order to get the sled moving.

A setup similar to the one shown in Figure P5.38 is often used in hospitals to support and apply a horizontal traction force to an injured leg. (a) Determine the force of tension in the rope supporting the leg. (b) What is the traction force exerted to the right on the leg?
A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed the forces resisting motion, including friction and air resistance, total 400 N. (Air resistance is analogous to air friction. It always opposes the motion of an object.) What is the magnitude of the force the motorcycle exerts backward on the ground to produce its acceleration if the mass of the motorcycle with rider is 245 kg?

Find (a) the single force that is equivalent to the two forces shown and (b) the force a third person would have to exert on the mule to make the net force equal to zero. The forces are measured in units of newtons (N). Figure P1.70
