A woman at an airport is towing her 20.0-kg suitcase at constant speed by pulling on a strap at an angle 0 above the horizontal (Fig. 4.76). She pulls on the strap with a 35.0-N force, and the friction force on the suitcase is 20.0 N. (a) Draw a free-body dia- gram of the suitcase. (b) What angle does the strap make with the hori- zontal? (c) What is the magnitude of the normal force that the ground exerts on the suitcase? Figure P4.76

Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 44.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together. The mass of the black block is 6.84 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for both blocks and inclines is 0.250. Assume static friction has been overcome and that everything can slide. What is must be the mass of the white block if both blocks are to slide to the LEFT at an acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2?
A block of mass 40 kg is held at rest on a rough plane, inclined at an angle of 15 super ring operator to the horizontal, by a rope making an angle of 65 super ring operator to the plane. The magnitude of the tension in the rope is 345 N. Calculate the magnitude of the friction force, in newtons, to two significant figures.

During strenuous exercise, it is possible to exert forces to the joints that are easily ten times greater than the weight being supported. What is the maximum force of friction (in N) under such conditions? (The frictional forces in joints are relatively small in all circumstances except when the joints deteriorate, such as from injury or arthritis. Increased frictional forces can cause further damage and pain.) she exert 67.0 kg of her mass on that knee?
Two boxes (Box A = 9.7 kg and Box B = 5.4 kg) are connected by acord running over a pulley. The coefficient of kinetic friction betweenbox A and the table is 0.18. We ignore the mass of the cord and pulleyand any friction in the pulley, which means we can assume that a forceapplied to one end of the cord will have the same magnitude at theother end. We wish to find the tension of the cord while accelerating (inN), assuming the cord doesn’t stretch. As box B moves down, box Amoves to the right. Hint: Solve for the acceleration of the system first.
