Problem 1: While training on the planet Dagobah, Luke Skywalker is asked by Yoda to hold a block with a mass of 6.80kg against a vertical wall using only the Force. Luke applies the Force with a magnitude of 115.0N at an angle of 52.0° with respect to the horizontal. Luke discovers that if the Force increases any more, the block begins to slide up the wall. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall? Assume that gravity on Dagobah is the same as gravity on Earth.

A car of mass m₁ 1000 kg is connected to a trailer of mass m2 = 400 kg by a taut inextensible cable. The car's engine provides a constant forward driving force Fx = 7000 N, which causes the car-plus-trailer to accelerate forwards along the horizontal x-axis. The tension of the cable produces a force on the trailer and also a force on the car. You may assume that the magnitude of the two forces is the same. You may also ignore friction. What is the tension in the cable joining the car to the trailer? Give your answer by entering a number, correct to an appropriate number of significant figures, in the empty box below.
