Chapter 4, Problem 87GP
A 1.5-kg block rests on top of a 7.5-kg block (Fig. 4–63). The cord and pulley have negligible mass, and there is no significant friction anywhere. (a) What force F must be applied to the bottom block so the top block accelerates to the right at 2.5 m/s2? (b) What is the tension in the connecting cord?

(2) A force with magnitude 8.86 N pushes three boxes with masses m₁ = 1.30 kg, m2 = 3.20 kg, and m3 = 4.90
kg, as shown in the figure below. The surface the boxes are sliding on is so slippery that the surface can be
considered to be frictionless.
(a) Calculate the force that boxes 1 and 2 exert on each other and the force that boxes 2 and 3 exert on each
other. [answer: F2-on-1 = F1-on-2 = 7.63 N; F3-on-2 = F2-on-3 = 4.62 N].
(b) To obtain the values of F1-on-2 and F3-on-2 in (a), you needed to assume that Newton's 3rd Law is valid. If
you examine the FBD for m2, you should see that F1-on-2-F3-on-2= m2a. Verify the validity of Newton's 3rd
Law by showing that the values of F1-on-2 - F3-on-2 and m2a are indeed equal. [answer: They are both equal to
3.0 N.]

As shown in Fig. 4–70, five balls (masses 2.00, 2.05, 2.10,
2.15, 2.20 kg) hang from a crossbar. Each mass is sup-
ported by "5-lb test" fishing line which will break when
its tension force exceeds 22.2 N (= 5.00 lb). When this
device is placed in an elevator, which accelerates upward,
only the lines attached to the 2.05 and 2.00 kg masses do
not break. Within what range is the elevator's acceleration?
