A block and a ball are connected by a string as shown in the figure. The block sits on a level, rough surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is μ = 0.841. The ball hangs freely from the string. The mass of the block is 18.82 kg. What is the largest mass of a ball you could hang from the string without causing the block to slide?
A student is pulling a crate with a mass of 66.6 kg along a horizontal frictionless floor with a rope that’s inclined at an angle θ = 30.0° above the horizontal as shown. The tension force is measured to be 239 N. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the crate from the floor, in Newtons? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

A 853 N magician (note: this is weight, not mass) is freeing himself from some shackles while suspended above a swimming pool filled with alligators. Two ropes are suspending the magician. The left rope makes an angle of 42 above the horizontal and points up and to the left. The right rope makes an angle of 78 above the horizontal and points up and to the right. Calculate the tension in the left rope, in N. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 10.5432)
A 32 kg child puts a 15 kg box into a 12 kg wagon. The child then pulls horizontally on the wagon with a force of 65 N. If the box does not move relative to the wagon, what is the static friction force on the box?
A box of mass ?=24.5 kg is pulled up a ramp that is inclined at an angle ?=19.0∘ angle with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is ?k=0.345 , and the rope pulling the box is parallel to the ramp. If the box accelerates up the ramp at a rate of ?=2.09 m/s2, calculate the tension ?T in the rope. Use ?=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
