Suppose your friend is sitting on a sled and asks you to move her across a flat, horizontal field. You have a choice of (a) pushing her from behind by applying a force downward on her shoulders at 30 below the horizontal (Fig. 4.22a) or (b) attaching a rope to the front of the sled and pulling with a force at 30 above the horizontal (Fig. 4.22b). Which option would be easier and why?
Consider the 52.0-kg mountain climber in Figure 5.22. (a) Find the tension in the rope and the force that the mountain climber must exert with her feet on the vertical rock face to remain stationary. Assume that the force is exerted parallel to her legs. Also, assume negligible force exerted by her arms. (b) What is the minimum coefficient of friction between her shoes and the cliff? Figure 5.22 Part of the climber's weight is supported by her rope and part by friction between her feet and the rock face.
Consider Figure 5.28. The driver attempts to get the car out of the mud by exerting a perpendicular force of 610.0 N, and the distance she pushes in the middle of the rope is 1.00 m while she stands 6.00 m away from the car on the left and 6.00 m away from the tree on the right. What is the tension Tin the rope, and how do you find the answer?
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.
The manager of a department store is pushing horizontally with a force of magnitude 200 N on a box of shirts. The box is sliding across the horizontal floor with a forward acceleration. Nothing else touches the box. What must be true about the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction acting on the box (choose one)? (a) It is greater than 200 N. (b) It is less than 200 N. (c) It is equal to 200 N. (d) None of those statements is necessarily true.
A cleaner pushes a 4.50-kg laundry cart in such a way that the net external force on it is 60.0 N. Calculate the magnitude of its acceleration.
Give a detailed example of the exchange of a particle can result in an attractive force. (For example, consider one child pulling a toy another.)
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.
A 6.0-kg object undergoes an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2. (a) What is the magnitude of the resultant force acting on it? (b) If this same force is applied to a 4.0-kg object, what acceleration is produced?

A horizontal force of 95.0 N is applied to a 60.0.kg crate on a rough, level surface. If the crate accelerates at 1.20 m/s2, what is the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction acting on the crate? (See Section 4.5.)
Why can we neglect forces such as those holding a body together when we apply Newton's second law of motion?
