48. (II) A small box is held in place against a rough vertical
wall by someone pushing on it with a force directed upward
at 28° above the horizontal. The coefficients of static and
kinetic friction between the box and wall are 0.40 and
0.30, respectively. The box slides down unless the applied
force has magnitude 23 N. What is the mass of the box?
49. (II) Two crates, of mass 65 kg and 125 kg, are in contact and
at rest on a horizontal surface (Fig. 4-57). A 650-N force
is exerted on the 65-kg crate. If the coefficient of kinetic
friction is 0.18, calculate (a) the acceleration of the sys-
tem, and (b) the force that each crate exerts on the other.
(c) Repeat with the crates reversed.
