A stack of two crates is being accelerated upwards by two cables. The cables are directly attached to crate 1 and the tension in each cable is 3248 N. You may assume that the masses of the cables are negligible compared to the masses of the crates. The acceleration of the crates is? bottom crate crate 1 is 109 kg. the top crate is 248 kg.
A student is pulling a crate with a mass of 66.6 kg along a horizontal frictionless floor with a rope that’s inclined at an angle θ = 30.0° above the horizontal as shown. The tension force is measured to be 239 N. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the crate from the floor, in Newtons? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
A horizontal force of 734 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 132 kg crate. What is the acceleration of the crate if the 734 N force is maintained after the crate begins to move and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.07?
Consider a person standing on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator accelerates upwards with an acceleration of 1.27 m/s2 and the person has a mass of 79.2 kg, what would the scale read? HINT: you need to take into account the acceleration due to gravity, as well as that of the elevator.
The figure shows three blocks attached by cords that loop over frictionless pulleys. Block B lies on a frictionless table; the masses are mA blocks are released, what is the tension in the cord at the right? 6.70 kg, mB 6.20 kg, and mc = 12.0 kg. When the B C Number Units

An elevator of mass 300 kg is caused to accelerate upward at 2.5 m/s2 by a force in the cable that supports it. What is the force exerted by the cable (in N) ?
Consider a person standing on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator accelerates upwards with an acceleration of 1.47 m/s2 and the person has a mass of 98.1 kg, what would the scale read? HINT: you need to take into account the acceleration due to gravity, as well as that of the elevator.
A 32 kg child puts a 15 kg box into a 12 kg wagon. The child then pulls horizontally on the wagon with a force of 65 N. If the box does not move relative to the wagon, what is the static friction force on the box?
A 55.0 kg block is pulled along a frictionless surface with a force P, exerted at an angle of 25.0 ̊ above the horizontal. What is the minimum force P that will lift the block off the ground? If the block is pulled with half of this force, what will its acceleration be?
