Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

You are out on a hike and come across an unfortunate scene: a fellow hiker has fallen off a ledge. You happen to be carrying a long rope, and bravely decide to help. You tie the rope to a rock of mass mR=500 kgmR=500 kg and make your way over the ledge (see figure). If the coefficient of static friction between the rock and the ground is μS=0.355μS=0.355, and your mass is mH=70.5 kgmH=70.5 kg, what is the maximum mass of the fallen hiker (mFmF) that the rock can hold so that you two can make it back up from the ledge? Assume that where the rope passes the ledge is frictionless and that the rope is parallel to the ground.
A book of mass 9 kg rests on a plank. You tilt one end of the plank and slowly increase the angle of the tilt. The coefficient of static friction between the book and the plank is 0.48. What is the maximum angle of tilt for which the book will remain stationary and not slide down the plank?

A push of magnitude P acts on a box of weight W as shown in the figure. The push is directed at an angle 0 below the horizontal, and the box remains a rest. The box rests on a horizontal surface that has some friction with the box. The normal force on the box due to the floor is equal to: O W + P cos 0. O W + P sin 0. OW-P sin 0. O W + P. O W. W 0 P
Two masses m1 = .5kg and m2 = .2kg are attached by an unstretchable string over a mass-less pulley. m1 hangs over the edge not touching any surfaces. m2 sits on the surface of the table with a coefficient of friction of μ = .1. A second string attached to m2 is pulled horizontally to accelerate the masses away from the edge. If the tension of T2 is 5.6N what is the acceleration?What is T1, the string between the two masses?
A 4.00 kg box sits atop a 10.0 kg box on a horizontal table. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two boxes and the lower box and table is 0.600, while the coefficient of static frction between these same surfaces is 0.800. A horizontal pull of 150.0 N to the right is exerted on the lower box, and the boxes move together. What is the friction force on the upper box?
You can hold a book against the wall, preventing it from sliding down, if you press your hand against it. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the book and the wall is 0.450, but there is no friction between your hand and the book. The mass of your book is 3.75 kg. What minimum force (P) do you need to apply to keep the book from slipping down the wall? Give your answer in units of Newtons. Hint: apply Newton's 2nd law to the book, and set the acceleration equal to zero, since it is not moving! P
An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary, the tension in the cable was 6500 N. When the craft was lowered or raised at a steady rate, the motion through the water added an 1800 N drag force. What was the tension in the cable when the craft was being lowered to the seafloor?
1. A block is placed on a wooden plank, which is initially horizontal. One end of the plank is slowly raised to make it more and more inclined, and for a while the block stays in place on the plank and doesn't slide due to static friction. Finally, when the plank reaches an incline of 56.3o above horizontal, the block begins to slide. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank? 1.50 1.00 2.00 0.500 2. Continuing the story from the previous question... after the block begins sliding down the incline at 56.3o, you measure its acceleration down the plank as 7.42 m/s2. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plank? 0.136 0.241 0.190 0.562
