11. a) An object has a mass of 60 kg on Earth. What are the mass and weight of this object on the surface of the Moon where the acceleration due to gravity is only 1/6 of what it is on Earth? b) A box of mass 72 kg is at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. A constant horizontal force of magnitude F then acts on the box, accelerating it to the right. You observe that it takes the box 3.4 seconds to travel 13 meters. What is the magnitude of the force F? c) A 10-kg object is hanging by a very light wire in an elevator that is traveling upward. The tension in the rope is measured to be 75 N. What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the elevator?
