The Johnsons just received a heavy package (perhaps a treadmill) in the mail that they ordered from a popular online shopping website. It's so heavy that they had to push it across their carpeted floor since it was too heavy to lift. The item weighs 92.3 kg and it's packaged in cardboard. The coefficient of friction between the cardboard and their carpet is 0.71. They're a team, and they all push the huge package across their living room at a constant speed. How much collective force do they have to use to push the package across the living room at a constant speed of 0.07m / s Use the approximation g = 10m / (s^ 2)
A particle, which remains at rest, is acted on by three forces F, G and H. The force F has magnitude 55 N and is directed to the left and up making an angle of 45 degrees with the vertical The force G is directed vertically down and H is directed to the right and up making an angle of 60 degrees with the vertical. Find the magnitude of the vectors G and H, giving your answers to one decimal place. The magnitude of G is N (to 1 d.p.) The magnitude of H is N (to 1 d.p.)

QUESTION 2 Which of the following is an accurate statement? O A. It is possible to add a scalar quantity to a vector. O B. Even though two vectors have unequal magnitudes, it is possible that their vector sum is zero. OC. Rotating a vector about an axis passing through the tip of the vector does not change the vector. OD. The magnitude of a vector is independent of the coordinate system used. O E. The magnitude of a vector can be zero even though one of its components is not zero.
A huge pendulum is made out of a 8.26-m cable attached at the top to a steel beam. The bottom of the cable is attached to a 38.7-kg anvil that swings back and forth. At the very bottom of its swing, the anvil travels at a speed of 2.53 m/s. Find the tension (in N) in the cable. (You may assume that the cable itself has negligible mass.)
The figure shows a container of mass m₁ = 1.7 kg connected to a block of mass m₂ by a cord looped around a frictionless pulley. The cord and pulley have negligible mass.

A small object is initially at rest at the top of a large solid sphere that is fixed on the ground. The small object then begins to slide along the surface of the large solid sphere, without friction. V₁ = 0 RI Part (a) Find the angle at which the small object loses contact with the large solid sphere. Part (b) Find the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the small object before it hits the ground. Take (xi, y₁) = (0,2R) as the coordinates for the top of the large solid sphere.
