Two children playing on a frictionless garden gate invent a new game called "gate". The idea is that they will get on opposite sides of the gate and each push such that the gate does not move. If they both push horizontally and perpendicular to the gate and one child pushes with a force of 175 N at a distance of 0.600 m from the hinges, determine the force the second child must exert in order to keep the gate from moving if she pushes at a distance of 0.295 m from the hinges.

On her way to visit Grandmother, Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25° with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 13.5 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical? The whole question did not paste in on my last attempt.

Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 13.5 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical? I was given the WRONG answer this morning! The force that Red applied was 13.5N NOT 12.2 N! Use 13.5 N! I use this service primarily to check my work. If the "experts" are using the wrong values, I question if they will use the right mathematical procedures if I really have a challenge!
A block with a mass of m = 13 kg rests on a frictionless surface and is subject to two forces acting on it. The first force is directed in the negative x-direction with a magnitude of F1 = 9.5 N. The second has a magnitude of F2 = 20.5 N and acts on the body at an angle θ = 12° measured from horizontal Write an expression for the component of net force, Fnet,x, in the x-direction, in terms of the variables given in the problem statement. Write an expression for the magnitude of the normal force, FN, acting on the block, in terms of F2 and the other variables of the problem. Assume that the surface it rests on is rigid. Find the block's acceleration in the x-direction, ax, in meters per second squared.

A sledge, of mass 15 kg, rests on a snow slope which makes an angle of 28◦ with the horizontal. A person is pushing on the back of the sledge with a force of 80 newtons, parallel to and up the slope. One end of a rope is attached to the front of the sledge. This rope is held taut by a child. The rope makes an angle of 20◦ with the upward slope. The child is pulling the rope with a force of 25 newtons and the sledge is on the point of slipping up the slope. Take the unit vector i to be in the direction up the slope and the unit vector j to be in the direction perpendicular to the slope and upwards. Express the forces in component form, in terms of unknown magnitudes where appropriate. Hence find the coefficient of static friction between the sledge and the snow, to two significant figures.

As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 61.0 kg. If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 6.00 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine (a) the salmon’s acceleration and (b) the magnitude of the force F during this interval.
A 3 kg and a 5 kg box rest side-by-side on a smooth, level floor. A horizontal force of 32 N is applied to the 3 kg box pushing it against the 5 kg box, and, as a result, both boxes slide along the floor. What is the magnitude of the contact force between the two boxes? Assume no friction.

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)
