(Questions 16-18) A 25 kg box is at the bottom of a frictionless incline that is 7 m long as shown and makes an angle of 20 degrees with the horizontal. A person applies a constant horizontal (NOT parallel to the incline, but horizontal) force to the box, starting from rest. It reaches the top of the ramp in 13 seconds. 16. Draw a free-body diagram of this situation showing all forces on the box. 17. What was the magnitude of the box's acceleration during this process? 18. What was the magnitude of the force applied by the person?

James pulls a 1.8 kg dynamics cart up a ramp that is inclined 25o to the horizontal. The cart is initially at rest but is then pulled up the ramp with a force sensor attached to James. The force sensor exerts a force on the cart parallel to the ramp. Negligible friction acts on the cart. What force is required for James to pull the cart up the ramp at an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2?

A man pulls a 50.0-kg block of ice with a rope over his shoulder as shown below. Suppose that he applies just enough force to get the block moving and then he continues to apply the same force. If it takes 2.00 seconds for the block to move 3.00 meters and if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is ?? =0.100, determine the coefficient of static friction ?? between the block and the surface. You may assume that the acceleration of the block is constant.
