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?”

Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle? FIGURE P5.76
A persons head is bent over a book. The head weighs P=37.2 N and is supported by the muscle force Fm exerted by the neck extensor muscles and by the contact force Fc excerted at the atlantooccipital joint.

If the direction is below the horizontal, enter a negative value.
Zoologists have studied the mechanics of locust jumping. When a locust jumps, as depicted in the figure, the resultant force R exerted by the hind legs is the sum of two forces. The first force W acts directly downward to support the locust's weight, which is about 0.02 newton. The second force F is for the takeoff; its magnitude is about 0.29 newton, and the direction makes an angle of 55° with the horizontal. W 55° Find the magnitude of the resultant force R = F + W. (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to three decimal places.) magnitude of resultant force R: newton
