Tim got a huge birthday gift from his grandmother. A 400. N crate has been delivered to his driveway. In order to get it started moving toward his door, he has to push it with a horizontal force of 250 N, but as soon as it is moving, he can keep it moving at a constant speed by pushing with a 120 N force. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction of Tim's birthday gift and the driveway?
You are pulling a child through the snow on a sled by pulling on a rope that makes a 35°35° angle with the horizontal. The mass of the child and sled together is 20 kg. There is a 50 N force of friction opposing the motion. What is the tension in the rope when you pull the child and sled at a constant 3.0m/s?
Three ropes pull on a knot that holds them together. Rope 1 exerts 20 N force in the positive xdirection and rope 2 pulls with a 40 N force at an angle 53 degrees above the negative x axis. Rope 3 pulls with a force that balances the first two so that the net force on the knot is zero. Find the magnitude and direction of F3.
