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?”

+ A uniform ladder stands on a rough floor and rests against a frictionless wall as shown in the figure. Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a normal force N, and a frictional forcef, on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force N₂ on the ladder. The ladder has a length of L = 4.2 m, a weight of W, = 66.5 N, and rests against the wall a distance d = 3.75 m above the floor. If a person with a mass of m= 90 kg is standing on the ladder, determine the following. (a) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is halfway up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.) N₂ N₂- 4- (b) the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is three-fourths of the way up the ladder (Enter the magnitude only.) N₂ N₂ Additional Materials
A fence post of mass m = 8 kg supports a fence with three lengths of barbed wire. The bottom wire is a distance d = 0.35 m from the ground and each wire is a distance 0.35 m above the previous one. Each of these three wires has the tension on it. For this problem, assume that the force exerted by these wires is purely horizontal. An additional guy wire is used to keep the pole upright with a tension of Fa = 490 N. The guy wire attaches to the post at a point h = 0.86 m above the ground and makes an angle of θ = 45 with respect to the horizontal. Write an expression for the tension in any one of the three fence wires. What is the normal force that the ground exerts upward on the post?
