A constant force Fa pushes a 22.5-kg box across a rough horizontal surface. The magnitude of Fa is 185 N and the force is inclined at an angle of θ = 30.0° below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is μk = 0.500. What is the magnitude of the box's acceleration?

You are a bully. You pin a 48 kg dweeb to a wall so that his feet aren't touching the ground. Your arm is extended so that it makes an angle 28 degrees with the horizontal. The dweeb's back is so sweaty with fear that there is no friction between his back and the wall. What is the magnitude of the force , in N, you must apply to keep the dweeb in equilibrium? (Use g = 10 m/s2) This scenario is represented schematically below. Unfortunately for you, years later the dweeb is your boss and he makes your life miserable. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 12.3445)
. A 25kg wooden plate is held in place by two strings attached to the ceiling and the wall. The string attached to the ceiling makes an angle 40° with the horizontal and the string attached to the wall makes 90° with the wall. Determine the force in each string.
Suppose you have a stack of 17 identical steel bars (steel bars have a mass of 1.00kg each). You are required to pull out bar number 16 from the stack (counting from the top of the stack down). Assuming that your assistant holds all other bars in place. If the coefficient of friction between steel and steel is 0.750, how hard do you have to pull (in N)?
A light spring having a force constant of 125N/m is used to pull a 7.20kg sled on a horizontal ice rink. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the ice is 0.200. The sled has an acceleration of 1.80m/s^2. By how much does the spring stretch if it pulls on the sled horizontallly? If the string stretches by the same amount but is pulling the sled at 30 degrees above the horizontal, what is the new acceleration?
