You bring a bathroom scale onto an elevator and press "up". Your mass is 65 kg. If the
bathroom scale reads 750 N, (a) what is the acceleration of the elevator? You then press down
and the acceleration downward is of the same magnitude. (b) While accelerating downward, you
hold a small mass of 100 g attached to a string. What is the tension in the string? This elevator is in
the new BU Data Science building where g = 10 m/s². Your work should include free body
diagrams
A contestant in a winter games event pushes a 56.0-kg rock across a frozen lake with a force of 25 N at 30° below the horizontal as shown
in Figure (a) below, and it moves with an acceleration of 0.39 m/s² to the right.

(b)
(a) What is the normal force (in N) exerted by the lake surface on the rock?
Did you draw a free-body diagram and identify the forces acting on the system? Did you consider all applicable forces (or component
of forces) in the vertical direction? N
(b) Instead of pushing on the rock, the contestant now pulls on it with a rope over his shoulder at the same angle above the horizontal
as in part (a). See Figure (b) above. Now what is the normal force (in N) exerted by the lake surface on the rock?
