The 300-lb block shown in the figure is kept from sliding down the inclined plane by friction and a force of smallest magnitude F. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is 0.4, then the magnitude of the frictional force is 0.4N, where N is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block by the plane. If the system is in equilibrium, use Cramer's rule to solve for F and N.

A 5kg crate is simultaneously acted upon by a force of 60N acting to the right that is parallel to the surface, and a force of 10N acting to the left, which makes a 30 degree angle with the horizontal.

Oceanographers use submerged sonar systems, towed by a cable from a ship, to map the ocean floor. In addition to their downward weight, there are buoyant forces and forces from the flowing water that allow them to travel in a horizontal path. One such submersible has a cross-section area of 1.3 m2, a drag coefficient of 1.2, and, when towed at 5.1 m/s, the tow cable makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. What is the tension in the cable?
