It may appear at first glance that Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws are independent claims. This, however, is not true - Newton's 3rd law is simply a consequence of Newton's 2nd law. In this problem, you will prove Newton's 3rd law for the normal contact force between two objects, using only Newton's 2nd law. Consider two blocks with masses my and m₂ in contact, with external forces F₁ and F₂ applied, as shown in the figure. The free body diagram for each block is also given, with internal forces fa and fo. as shown. F₁ F₂ F₁ m₁ m₂ m₁ fa fb m₂ F₂ Complete the equations of motion for the entire system, as well as blocks 1 and 2 individually. Note, the forces have a signed magnitude, where positive values correspond to the positive x-direction

Two objects (m1=11.0 kg and m2=3.00 kg) are separated by 40.0 cm. A third object (m3=1.00 kg) is placed at a location along the line connecting them such that the net force acting on it is zero. By considering the force vectors, this location must be between the two original objects. We will define x as the distance between m1 and m3 and y as the distance between m2 and m3. 1) Find the distance between 11.0-kg object and 1.00-kg object along the line AB where a small, 1.00-kg object could rest such that the net gravitational force on it due to the two objects shown is exactly zero. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)

Here we have a block of mass (m=2.50kg) resting on a place inclined at an angle of ø=30° to the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is Ustatic = 0.135 and the block is stationary but just on the point of sliding up the slope. The diagram shows the four forces acting on the block: an applied force F1 acting up the slope, the block's weight mg, the normal reaction force N and the force of static friction, Ff. In this case, the force of static friction acts down the slope, opposing the tendency of the block to move up the slope. Find the the maximum magnitude of the applied force F1 that can be exerted if the block is to remain stationary.
