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

If the vector components of the position of a particle moving in the xy plane as a function of time are x(t)=(2.5ms2)t2i and y(t)=(5.0ms3)t3j, when is the angle between the net force on the particle and the x axis equal to 45?
A mysterious force acts on all particles along a particular line and always points towards a particular point P on the line. The magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point, that is, F∝ r3, if the distance from the P to the position of the particle is r. It has been determined that the constant of proportionality is 0.23 N/m3, i.e. the magnitude of the force on a particle can be written as 0.23r3, when the particle is at a distance r from the force center. Find the magnitude of the potential energy, in joules, of a particle subjected to this force when the particle is at a distance 0.21 m from point P assuming the potential energy to be zero when the particle is at P. PE= ?
A particle, which remains at rest, is acted on by three forces F, G and H. The force F has magnitude 70N and is directed to the right and down making an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical. The force G is directed vertically up and H is directed to the left and up making an angle of 45 degrees with the horizontal. Find the magnitude of the vectors G and H giving your answers to one decimal place.
Force vectors F1 and F2 act on body P with the resultant force vector R. The resultant force R = 350 N and the angle between R and the x-axis is of 35O. If F1 = 180 N and the angle between F1 and the x-axis is 72O, determine the magnitude of F2 and the angle between F2 and the x-axis.
It is desired to replace the 560 N force R acting on particle A with teo forces P and Q which will produce the same external effect on A. The magnitude and direction of the component P are as shown. Determine the other component Q.
A block of mass m1 is placed on top of a block of mass m2. You push the two blocks so that they move up a vertical wall, with a constant force of magnitude P directed at angle theta. The coefficient of friction between m2 and the wall is u. There is no friction between the blocks and no friction between m1 and the wall. Find the force exerted by the lower block on the upper block. The answer the book gives me is (P(cos(theta)-u*sin(theta)))/(1+(m2/m1)) I get how to get the numerator but am unsure of how the denominator answer was gotten and where gravity went in the equation
A particle, which remains at rest, is acted on by three forces, P, Q and R, and no others, as shown in the diagram attached. The force P acts horizontally to the left, the force Q acts vertically upwards and the force R acts downwards and to the right at an angle of 30◦ to the horizontal. The magnitude of P is 52 N. Let the magnitudes of Q and R in newtons be Q and R respectively. Take the Cartesian unit vectors i and j to be in the opposite direction to P and in the same direction as Q, respectively. a) Find expressions for the component forms of the three forces P, Q and R. b) Hence or otherwise find Q to two significant figures.

Three forces act on particle A located at the origin of an x-y coordinate system. Force B acts at 140o from the positive x-axis, and force C acts at 15o from the positive x-axis. The weight acts down with a magnitude of W = 100 kN. Use the equations of equilibrium to determine the magnitudes of B and C such that particle A is in equilibrium. Using your FBD from problem 1) substitute the known weight and angles α and β into your equations, then solve them simultaneously to find the tensions in cables AC and BC . Fb= 117.92kn Fc= 93.507kn
