Compute the total force to be exerted on the object given the indicated parameters.
A body with mass m1 = 3.5 kg is on an inclined plane with an angle of 37º. It is connected by a rope passing over a pulley to another body with mass m2 = 5 kg hanging vertically. The coefficient of friction is μ = 0.2, and the system slides towards m2. Draw the force diagrams for each body and their components. Calculate the frictional force and the normal force acting on mass m1. Calculate the system's acceleration and the tension in the rope. If the inclined plane is 60 m long, determine the time it will take for m1 to travel this distance if it started from rest.

A frog with some sort of little monster on his back is swimming in a bathtub of split tomato soup. The frog's mass is m1 = 0.0280 kg, and the monster's mass is m2 = 0.0300 kg. The frog propels the monster and himself forward with a constant force of F = 0.440 N and accelerates at a constant rate of a = 2.65 m/s^2. a) What is the resistive force of the split tomato soup on the frog? b) If the frog starts at rest at one side of the bathtub and swims across its length in t = 1.91 s, how long is the bathtub? c) How much work is done by the split tomato soup on the frog?
Two objects (m1=11.0 kg and m2=3.00 kg) are separated by 40.0 cm. A third object (m3=1.00 kg) is placed at a location along the line connecting them such that the net force acting on it is zero. By considering the force vectors, this location must be between the two original objects. We will define x as the distance between m1 and m3 and y as the distance between m2 and m3. 1) Find the distance between 11.0-kg object and 1.00-kg object along the line AB where a small, 1.00-kg object could rest such that the net gravitational force on it due to the two objects shown is exactly zero. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
A 3.00-kg object is acted upon by an applied force causing it to move along a rough horizontal plane, with its x 5t² - 1 and y = 3t3 + 2, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds.
