PHY 203 Introduction to Physics NAME:(17.1) A block of mass M = 20 kg rides on a frictionless horizontal plane surface whichwe choose to describe as the xy-plane. The z-direction is vertical, perpendicular to thexy-plane, with positive z pointing upward. At t = 0 , two constant applied forces,→F1 = 8 , 4 , 10N and →F2 = 12 , 6 , 10Nsuddenly begin to act. Take g = 10 m/s2for the weight force.(a) (i) Draw a free-body diagram, looking edge on to the plane, showing clearly the forceswhich act on the block in the vertical direction.(ii) Draw a free-body diagram, looking down on the plane, showing clearly the forceswhich act on the block in the horizontal direction.(b) Express each of the forces acting on the block in terms of its Cartesian components(in the directions specified by x, y, and z). [Hint: If you do not know the magnitude ofthe vector, but you do know its direction, then use a symbol – for the time being – for themagnitude.](c) Sum the forces to obtain the three components of…
