3) (ex) A boy pulls on a block of mass 5.0 kg along a horizontal frictionless floor. The boy pulls with a force of 15 N at an angle of 20 degrees above the horizontal. (a) List each force acting on the block (including the direct cause of the force). (b) Draw a FBD for the block. Determine (c) the acceleration and (d) the normal force acting on the block, caused by the floor. (Use good symbolic notation; show all your work.) (See PSL 5.8, but w/o friction.)
