- Consider Figure 5.28. The driver attempts to get the car out of the mud by exerting a perpendicular force of 610.0 N, and the distance she pushes in the middle of the rope is 1.00 m while she stands 6.00 m away from the car on the left and 6.00 m away from the tree on the right. What is the tension Tin the rope, and how do you find the answer?arrow_forwardSuppose a box of mass m = 5 kg is kicked and given an initial velocity of 4.0 m/s to the right. The box slides along and is brought to rest by friction. What is its total displacement, assuming the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.60?arrow_forwardConsider Figure 5.28. The driver attempts to get the car out of the mud by exerting a perpendicular force of 610.0 N, and the distance she pushes in the middle of the rope is 1.00 m while she stands 6.00 m away from the car on the left and 6.00 m away from the tree on the right.
