For all three situations, find the magnitude and direction of the tension force(s) exerted on Rochelle. If not enough information is given, say so. Explain your answers. a. Rochelle and Buddy pull on opposite ends of rope. The tension force exerted on Buddy is 15 N and is directed toward Rochelle. b. Now, one end of the rope is tied to a sturdy pole and Rochelle pulls on the other end. The tension force on the pole is 15 N directed toward Rochelle. c. Finally, Rochelle holds one rope in her left hand, and the other end of that rope is pulled by Joe. She holds another rope in her right hand, and the other end of that rope is pulled by Buddy. Both Buddy and Joe experience a 15-N force directed toward Rochelle.

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.

Three blocks A, B, and C stand next to each other as shown in the figure. A force F with magnitude 137.1 N is applied to push block C directly and sends the blocks accelerating to the right. Let's assume there is no friction between the blocks and the ground. The mass of A, B, and C are 9.1, 46.6, and 84.3 kg, respectively. What is the force applied on block B by block A (in unit of N)?
