A 2 kg box is suspended in the air. Attached to each corner of the box is a rope. All 4 ropes are the same length and are attached to 1 point in the ceiling. Draw the FBD of the box and find all the forces acting on it.
Two boxes, AA and BB, are connected to each end of a light vertical rope, as shown in the following figure. A constant upward force 82.0 NN is applied to box AA. Starting from rest, box BB descends 10.6 mm in 3.90 ss . The tension in the rope connecting the two boxes is 33.0 NN (Figure 1).
What is the mass of box BB?
