Chapter 13.3, Problem 13.4CQ
A large insect impacts the front windshield of a sports car traveling down a road. Which of the following statements is true during the collision?
- a. The car exerts a greater force on the insect than the insect exerts on the car.
- b. The insect exerts a greater force on the car than the car exerts on the insect.
- c. The car exerts a force on the insect, but the insect does not exert a force on the car.
- d. The car exerts the same force on the insect as the insect exerts on the car.
- e. Neither exerts a force on the other; the insect gets smashed simply because it gets in the way of the car.

- **Problem 8-45.** The man has a mass of 60 kg and the crate has a mass of 100 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the ground is \( \mu_s = 0.4 \) and between the crate and the ground is \( \mu_c = 0.3 \), determine if the man is able to move the crate using the rope-and-pulley system shown. **Diagram Explanation:** The diagram illustrates a scenario where a man is attempting to pull a crate using a rope-and-pulley system. The setup is as follows: - **Crate (C):** Positioned on the ground with a rope attached. - **Rope:** Connects the crate to a pulley system and extends to the man. - **Pulley on Tree:** The rope runs over a pulley mounted on a tree which redirects the rope. - **Angles:** - The rope between the crate and tree forms a \(30^\circ\) angle with the horizontal. - The rope between the tree and the man makes a \(45^\circ\) angle with the horizontal. - **Man (A):** Pulling on the rope with the intention of moving the crate.
