Problem 1. A student at an airport is towing her 20.0 kg suitcase at a constant acceleration by pulling on a strap along the horizontal direction. She pulls on the strap with a 35.0 N force along the horizontal direction. The friction force on the suitcase is 20.0 N. Takeg=9.8 m/s². (a) Draw a free body diagram of the suitcase. (b) What is the acceleration of the suitcase? (c) What is the magnitude of the normal force that the ground exerts on the suitcase?
