Problem 1: A 2.80kg block is placed on a rough (us=0.540) incline that makes an angle of 52.0° with respect to the horizontal. A pushing force horizontal to the ground is applied to the top of the block (This would make the force have an angle of 52.0° below the surface of the inclined plane, up the plane) to make the block stationary on the plane. What is the minimum pushing force needed to keep the block stationary on the plane? (10 points)

The figure below shows a bird feeder that weighs 101.1 N. The feeder is supported by a vertical wire, which is in turn tied to two wires, each of which is attached to a horizontal support. The left wire makes a 60° angle with the support, while the right wire makes a 30° angle. What is the tension in each wire (in N)? A bird feeder is suspended from a vertical wire. The top of the wire is tied to two other wires. The left and right wires go up and to the left and up and to the right, respectively, from the connection point to a horizontal support. The left wire makes an angle of 60° with the support. The right wire makes an angle of 30° with the support. left wire Nright wire Nbottom wire N
A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is sitting stationary on a table. A horizontal force of magnitude F= 5.00 N is applied to the block, as shown.

Three blocks are stacked on the floor. From the bottom of the stack to the top, their masses are m1, m2, and m3, respectively, as shown on the diagram. When referring to the various forces, the subscripts i=1,2,3 of the blocks will be used, and ff will be used to indicate the floor. Weights, if required, will be denoted with the corresponding subscript of the block as Fg,i, for i=1,2,3. The normal force exerted by object a on object b, if required, will be denoted as Fn,a→b for i=1,2,3, f, but a≠b. The force of kinetic friction exerted by object a on object b, if required, will be denoted as Fk,a→b for i=1,2,3,f, but a≠b. The force of static friction exerted by object a� on object b�, if required, will be denoted as F⃗ s,a→b for i=1,2,3,f, but a≠b.
