A small box with a weight of 35.0 N is placed on top of a larger box that has a weight of 80.0 N. The system of two boxes is at rest on a horizontal surface (the larger box is in contact with thesurface). You apply an additional downward force of 30.0 N to the top of the small box by resting your hand on it. For this problem, use g = 10 N/kg.(a) What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the large box by the small box?(b) What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the large box by the surface?Now, imagine that the horizontal surface is the floor of an elevator, and the boxes are in the elevator, which has an acceleration directed downward of 1.00 m/s?.(c) What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the large box by the small box in this case?(d) What is the magnitude of the force exerted on the large box by the surface in this case?N

As shown in the figure, a climber with a weight of 533.8 N is held by a belay rope connected to her climbing harness and belay device; the force of the rope on her has a line of action through her center of mass. The indicated angles are 0 = 40.0° and = 30.0°. If her feet are on the verge of sliding on the vertical wall, what is the coefficient of static friction between her climbing shoes and the wall?
USE VECTOR NOTATIONIn a physics laboratory class, three massless strings are tied together at a point. A tensile force is applied along each rope: F_1 = 150 N at 60°, F_2 = 200. N at 100°. F_3 = 100. N at 190° What is the magnitude of a fourth force and the angle at which it acts to keep the point at the center of the system stationary? (All angles are measured from the positive x-axis counterclockwise.)
You have a summer job working downtown washing windows on skyscrapers (the pay is great and so are the medical benefits). The platform you and your partner are using to get to the windows is a meter wide and four meters long. You know from hauling the platform out of your truck countless times that it has a mass of 70 kg. It is supported by two cables, one at each end, mounted on-center to prevent the platform from tipping over as it is pulled up the side of the building at a constant speed. If you (mass of 55 kg) are standing on the platform 1 meter from one cable while your partner (mass of 87 kg) is 1.3 meters from the other cable and both of you are half a meter from the side, what is the tension in each cable? Assume the platform has a uniform mass distribution and is of negligible thickness.
A 200 N sign hangs from the middle of a cable between two buildings. The ends of each cable are attached to each building at the same height. The cable cannot exceed 1500 N without breaking. Find the minimum angle that the cable can make from the horizontal.
You are working in an ice skating rink and have been asked to hang a new banner on the wall. Your friend is helping you so that the ladder does not collapse by exerting a force F_AL at an angle ϕ relative to the horizontal. The ladder has a length L and makes an angle of θ with respect to the vertical wall. You have a mass, m_Y, and are a horizontal distance x from the wall. The ladder has a mass of m_L. Because the wall is slick, and the ice on the floor is slick, the frictional forces acting on the ladder are negligible. Find a formula for the magnitude of the force that your friend must exert to keep the ladder from falling, in terms of the following variables: x,L,m_Y,m_L,θ,ϕ. Then use the following values to get a number for the magnitude of F_AL. θ = 30.3 degrees ϕ = 23.028 degrees x = 1.491 meters L = 7.1 meters m_Y = 86.0 kg m_L = 42.14 kg Find the magnitudes of: F_AL, normal force of the wall on the ladder (N_WL), and normal force of the floor on the ladder (N_FL).
Two blocks of mass m 10 kg and mg 5 kg are connected by a massless string that passes over a pulley as shown in the figure. The system is in static equilibrium.

You gave a friend an outrageously large birthday present of mass m=29.7 kg. They are excitedly holding it using both hands on opposite sides of the box. Each hand applies a normal force of equal magnitude to each side of the box.
