If the force applied to the box is doubled, the constant speed of the box will increase to 6.0 m/s. O b. There is a force being applied to the box to make it move but the external forces such as friction are not "real" forces they just resist motion. O c. The amount of force applied to move the box at a constant speed must be more than its weight. O d. The amount of force applied to move the box at a constant speed must be equal to the amount of the frictional forces that resist its motion. O e. The amount of force applied to move the box at a constant speed must be more than the amount of the frictional forces that resist its motion.

Any device that allows you to increase the force you exert is a kind of machine. Some machines, such as the prybar or the inclined plane, are very simple. Some machines do not even look like machines. For example, your car is stuck in the mud and you cant pull hard enough to get it out. You do, however, have a long cable that you connect taut between your front bumper and the trunk of a stout tree. You now pull sideways on the cable at its midpoint, exerting a force f. Each half of the cable is displaced through a small angle from the straight line between the ends of the cable. (a) Deduce an expression for the force acting on the car. (b) Evaluate the cable tension for the case where = 7.00 and f = 100 N.
