You pull on a crate using a rope as in (Figure 1), except the rope is at an angle of 20.0 ∘∘ above the horizontal. The weight of the crate is 245 NN, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.270. What must be the tension in the rope to make the crate move at a constant velocity? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

A friend on skis stands still on level ground, covered with dry snow at 08 C. How hard would you have to push your friend in the forward, horizontal direction to move him if your friend weighs 800 N?
Consider a pair of masses m1 and m2 connected by a non-stretchable string that runs over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure on the right. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the horizontal surface on which it initially rests is μk, find its resulting acceleration magnitude in terms of m1, m2, and μk, when the system is released. Assume that air resistance is negligible and m2 > μk m1.
According to a simplified model of a mammalian heart, at each pulse, approximately 20 g of blood is accelerated from 0.26 m/s to 0.35 m/s during a period of 0.10 s.

A skydiver is at an altitude of 1520 m. After 10.0 seconds of free fall, he opens his parachute and finds that the air resistance, FD , is given by the formula FD = −bv, where b is a constant and v is the velocity. If b = 0.750, and the mass of the skydiver is 82.0 kg, first set up differential equations for the velocity and the position, and then find: (a) the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens, (b) the distance fallen before the parachute opens, (c) the terminal velocity after the parachute opens (find the limiting velocity), and (d) the time the skydiver is in the air after the parachute opens.
There are two forces on the 1.19 kg box in the overhead view of the figure but only one is shown. For F1 = 15.7 N, a = 14.7 m/s2, and θ = 34.1°, find the second force (a) in unit-vector notation and as (b) a magnitude and (c) a direction. (State the direction as a negative angle measured from the +x direction.)

A skier slides straight down an incline of 25 degrees without using her poles. The slope itself is 96 meters long, and the skier starts from rest at the top. What would the velocity of the skier be at the bottom of the incline if friction can be neglected? What would your answer be to the previous question if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow is 0.13 on the incline? Upon reaching the bottom of the incline in part b, she reaches a flat portion, and decides to just let friction slow her to a stop. How far does the skier travel along the horizontal portion before coming to a stop, if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.28 on the flat portion?

A block with mass m sits on a frictionless plane inclined at angle θ, as shown in the figure.

In the figure, a slab of mass m1 = 40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 = 10 kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force F→ of magnitude 104 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?
Show that the acceleration of any object down an incline where friction behaves simply (that is, where fk=μkN)fk=μkN) is a=g(sinθ−μkcosθ).a=g(sinθ−μkcosθ). Note that the acceleration is independent of mass and reduces to the expression found in the previous problem when friction becomes negligibly small (μk=0).(μk=0).
