There’s a battery powered skateboard hidden in the mop bucket.  Assume the mass of the entire system is {43} kg, and gravity is 10 N/kg.  (Maybe start with part d?) Draw a Force Body Diagram for the man/bucket, assuming that the man, the bucket, the leaf blower, and the umbrella are all a single object and on level ground.  Label and calculate all forces. Explain why this wouldn’t work without the hidden motor in the mop bucket.  Explain in terms of the forces between man, umbrella, and leaf blower. Identify two sets of force pairs in this system.
