On her way to visit Grandmother, Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20 kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25 degree with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 12.2 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical?
On her way to visit Grandmother, Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25° with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 13.5 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical?
The whole question did not paste in on my last attempt.
A boy has filled his toy box with all his favorite toys and it trying to drag it across the floor. The toy box has a mass of 35 kg (including the toys) and the child pulls with a force of 24 N at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal (he is pulling mostly horizontally, but some of the force is pulling up).
How will the normal force between the box and the ground change when the boy starts pulling?

- A woman uses a rope to pull a block of mass m across a level floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is k. The rope makes an angle with the floor. Find an algebraic expression for the tension in the rope in terms of the parameters listed in the problem and any constants.arrow_forwardOn her way to visit Grandmother, Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25° with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 13.5 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical? I was given the WRONG answer this morning! The force that Red applied was 13.5N NOT 12.2 N! Use 13.5 N! I use this service primarily to check my work. If the "experts" are using the wrong values, I question if they will use the right mathematical procedures if I really have a challenge!arrow_forwardTwo people are pulling on a toboggan.
