Suppose a horse leans against a wall as in Figure 5.35. Calculate the force exerted on the wall assuming that force is horizontal and using the data in the schematic representation of the situation. Note that the force exerted on the wall is equal and opposite to the force exerted on the horse, keeping it in equilibrium. The total mass of the horse and rider is 475 kg.

A block lies motionless on a horizontal tabletop. You apply a force Fapp horizontally to the block, but it does not move. What can you say about the relative sizes and magnitudes of Fapp, the static friction force between the block and the table, and the kinetic friction force between the block and the table?
A sled and rider have a total mass of 56.8 kg. They are on a snowy hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.195. The angle of the hills slope measured upward from the horizontal is 19.5. What is the acceleration of the rider? Is the acceleration greater, less than, or equal to your result if a more massive rider uses the same sled on the same hill? Explain.
(a) A student stands a distance d = 0.350 m from the left end of a platform as shown in the figure. The platform is supported by three ropes. Find the tension in each rope (in N). Assume the platform is uniform, with length L = 2.00 m and mass 30.5 kg, and the weight of the student is 680 N. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) At what location does this occur (measured in m from the left end of the platform)?
Suppose you use an ideal pulley of the type shown in image (a) in the figure below to support a car engine of mass 140 kg. (a) What would be the tension in newtons in the rope?

the weight of a box is at 14 N Set the y-component of the applied force to -2 N. In that case, what is the magnitude of the normal force?_______ N (why is the answer 16.0N) n that case, what the maximum possible magnitude of the force of static friction? (Keep the y-component of the applied force at -2 N, the weight at 14 N, and then adjust the x-component of the applied force to find the maximum value of the force of static friction.)_______ N (why is the answer for this 8.0N)
(c) A claw hammer can be used both to drive nails into a piece of wood and to get themback out (see figure 1b). The person in the image needs to exert a force of 50 Non the hammer to pull the nail loose. The handle is 25 cm long, and the distancebetween the handle and the head of the nail is 2.0 cm. Find the force the hammeris exerting on the wood (not the nail!). You may assume that the point where thehammer touches the wood is along the line of the handle. Hint: Start your answerwith a free-body diagram. May I have a detailed step by step explanation of this c) problem? Its for a hand in homework and I don't know how to solve it

This companyhas a belt drive facility that dispatches the nose masks from theproducing house to the packaging house. The mass of the normal forcebetween the belt and its driver wheel is 880kg. Show the steps whichwill be taken to determine the maximum force that can be transmittedwhen the belt is running at a constant speed. Assuming the dynamiccoefficient of friction is 0.77.
