A very light wire is used to hang a series of 8.0-kg bricks. This wire will break if the tension in it exceeds 450 N. The bricks are hung one below the other from a hook in the ceiling using this wire, as shown in the figure.
(a) How many whole bricks can be hung without breaking the wire?
(b) If you add one more brick to the number found in part (a), which string will break?
HHH
Which statement is TRUE when the resultant of all the forces acting on the body is zero?
The body has a constant acceleration.
The body is accelerating.
The body is acted upon only by the applied force.
The body is in equilibrium.
Suppose you have a 120 kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor, with coefficient of static friction
0.500 between these wood surfaces. (a) What maximum force can you exert horizontally on the crate
without moving it? (b) If you continue to exert this force once the crate starts to slip, what will its
acceleration then be? The coefficient of sliding friction is known to be 0.300 for this situation.
