A bedroom bureau with a mass of 45.0 kg, including drawers and clothing, rests on the floor. (a) If the coefficient of static friction is 0.450, what is the magnitude of the minimum horizontal force that a person must apply to start the bureau moving to the right? (b) If the drawers and clothing, with 17.0 kg mass, are removed before the bureau is pushed to the right, what is the new minimum magnitude?

The figure above shows free-body diagrams for the cart mc and the hanging mass mh in terms of the gravitational force mg, tension T, normal force N, and frictional force Ff=μkN. Q1: Based on the mc free-body diagram, type an expression for the horizontal acceleration of the cart. Q2: Based on the mh free-body diagram, type an expression for the vertical acceleration of the hanging mass. Q3: As shown in the first figure, the horizontal acceleration of the cart to the right must be equal to the downward vertical acceleration of the hanging mass if the string does not stretch. Given that both the cart and the hanging mass have the same acceleration, eliminate the tension force (T) from your answers to Q1 and Q2 to find an expression for the acceleration only in terms of mh, mc, μk, and g.
