An object experiences no acceleration. Which of the following cannot be true for the object? (a) A single force acts on the object. (b) No forces act on the object. (c) Forces act on the object, but the forces cancel.
In Figure P4.35, the man and the platform together weigh 950 N. The pulley can be modeled as frictionless. Determine how hard the man has to pull on the rope to lift himself steadily upward above the ground. (Or is it impossible? If so, explain why.) Figure P4.35
In Example 4.5, we pushed on two blocks on a table. Suppose three blocks are in contact with one another on a frictionless, horizontal surface as shown in Figure P4.49. A horizontal force F is applied to m1. Take m1 = 2.00 kg, m2 = 3.00 kg, m3 = 4.00 kg, and F = 18.0 N. (a) Draw a separate free-body diagram for each block. (b) Determine the acceleration of the blocks. (c) Find the resultant force on each block. (d) Find the magnitudes of the contact forces between the blocks. (e) You are working on a construction project. A coworker is nailing up plasterboard on one side of a light partition, and you are on the opposite side, providing backing by leaning against the wall with your back pushing on it. Every hammer blow makes your back sting. The supervisor helps you put a heavy block of wood between the wall and your back. Using the situation analyzed in parts (a) through (d) as a model, explain how this change works to make your job more comfortable. Figure P4.49
Two thieves want to steal a 1mx1mx1m Lazada Mystery Box worth of 1million pesos that is placed on a warehouse with a cemented floor. When they successfully break into the warehouse using a bobby pin they realize that they both cannot carry the 400 lb package, so they decided to push it out of the warehouse. If the untouched package and the cemented floor has a coefficient of friction of 0.400, what is the maximum amount of force they first need to exert in order to make the package move when they will: A) push the package with their hands 90 degree with the vertical wall of the box. B) push the package with their hands in 120 degree with the vertical wall of the package. C) When they decided to pull the box instead and their hands are in 120 degree with the top edge of the box.

A block with a mass of m = 22 kg rests on a frictionless surface and is subject to two forces acting on it. The first force is directed in the negative x-direction with a magnitude of F1 = 12 N. The second has a magnitude of F2 = 18.25 N and acts on the body at an angle θ = 19° measured from horizontal, as shown. Write an expression for the magnitude of the normal force, FN, acting on the block, in terms of F2, g, and the other variables of the problem. Assume that the surface it rests on is rigid.
