Emily is flying off to Paris. Unfortunately, the wheels of her luggage fell off. So, she ties a rope to it and drags it along the floor of the airport terminal. The rope makes a 30.0° angle with the horizontal. The luggage has a mass of 25.0 kg and Emily pulls on the rope with a force of 65.0 N. (a) What is the magnitude of the normal force acting on the luggage due to the floor? (b) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the luggage and the marble floor is μ = 0.13, find the frictional force acting on the suitcase.

In the figure, a slab of mass m1 = 40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 = 10 kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force F→ of magnitude 104 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?
