A 100-N object sits on a rough floor and is being acted on by 150-N force that is directed 30° above the horizontal (i.e. someone is pulling upward while dragging it). The coefficient of static friction is 0.5 and kinetic friction is 0.25. Draw a free-body diagram for the object. Does the object move? Make your test clear.

(a) What is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated? (See the free-body diagram.) (b) Calculate the acceleration. (c) What would the acceleration be if friction were 15.0 N?

(a) An 1800-kg tractor exerts a force of 1.75104 N backward on the pavement, and the system experiences forces resisting motion that total 2400 N. If the acceleration is 0. 150 m/s2, what is the mass of the airplane? (b) Calculate the force exerted by the tractor on the airplane, assuming 2200 N of the friction is experienced by the airplane. (c) Draw two sketches showing the systems of interest used to solve each part, including the free-body diagrams for each.
Three objects are connected on a table as shown in Figure P5.14. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block of mass m2 and the table is 0.350. The objects have masses of m1 = 4.00 kg, m2 = 1.00 kg, and m3 = 2.00 kg, and the pulleys are frictionless. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of each object. (b) Determine the acceleration of each object, including its direction. (c) Determine the tensions in the two cords. What If? (d) If the tabletop were smooth, would the tensions increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain. Figure P5.14

A man exerts a force of 16.7 N horizontally on a box so that it is at rest in contact with a wall as in Figure 6.3. The box weighs 6.52 N. a.

A crate is sitting in the center of a flatbed truck. As the truck accelerates to the east, the crate moves with it, and doesnt slide on the bed of the truck. In what direction is the friction force exerted by the bed of the truck on the crate? (a) To the west, (b) To the east, (c) There is no friction force because the crate isnt sliding.

An inventive child named Nick wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (Fig. P4.45), Nick pulls on the loose end of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 250 N. Nicks true weight is 320 N, and the chair weighs 160 N. Nicks feet are not touching the ground. (a) Draw one pair of diagrams showing the forces for Nick and the chair considered as separate systems and another diagram for Nick and the chair considered as one system. (b) Show that the acceleration of the system is upward and find its magnitude. (c) Find the force Nick exerts on the chair. Figure P4.45 Problems 45 and 46. 46. In the situation described in Problem 45 and Figure P4.45, the masses of the rope, spring balance, and pulley are negligible. Nicks feet are not touching the ground. (a) Assume Nick is momentarily at rest when he stops pulling down on the rope and passes the end of the rope to another child, of weight 440 N, who is standing on the ground next to him. The rope does not break. Describe the ensuing motion. (b) Instead, assume Nick is momentarily at rest when he ties the end of the rope to a strong hook projecting from the tree trunk. Explain why this action can make the rope break.
